Our house looks so different from this time last year, I'm amazed. And in a good way!
I like it. Lots.
So, I showed you the B&B I did over the weekend and how I jazzed up the area by moving tables and chotshkies around. Shared my thoughts on painting the inside of the front door Wythe Blue. A couple lovely people {Anne & Shasta} said "OH YES!! And make it BOTH doors"... well then, okie dokie!!
Tonight, it looks like this:
Wythe Blue has got to be the most delicious, luscious shade of blue/green I've ever seen. It's just so... purty!
I picked up 4 of these at Ikea:
Took out the plastic cup and took off the hook, screwed them to my B&B and added the darling lacy pots also sold at Ikea. Threw in some pretty flowers. I love it.
Aren't they precious?? Those lacy little pots are coated metal and only $2.99.
I backed up so you can see a larger shot of the front room. I coulda vacuumed. I shoulda vacuumed.
And then, I backed up more so you can see my blogging station.
And then, to keep it real... I turned around...
Don't laugh. I have a love/hate relationship with these chairs. They are SO sturdy & comfy, but they are SO dang ugly!! I'm patiently {Hah, me... patient!} waiting for slipcovers that will do them justice. Someday, I will tell you the story of these chairs. Another time.
If you turn again, you look straight ahead into the living room:
If you then turn left, you look ahead into the dining room:
Turn left again {feel dizzy yet} and then you are in the kitchen. My favorite part of our home.
And there you have it. The main floor of our house! Wow, last time I showed you that all the pictures were taken with my cell phone. *blushing* I've learned since then!
Alright, so I love the main floor and now I need to move upstairs. So many ideas, so little time & money!
I got this cute set of nesting tables at a local yard sale on Saturday for $5. They are next to get the Nutmeg touch. Love that mirror... makes me look so skinny!!! :-P
Still trying to talk Drew into the paper bag stairs. Yeah, working on that.
XOXO
See ya soon!!
Oh lordy, the wythe blue looks SO good! I'm so glad you did both doors. And aren't you nifty with the pots hanging from the B&B. What a great find...I just love Ikea. Good job!
