You know how it goes.
You paint one wall. But then the wall next to it looks dirty in comparison, so it needs painting too. Or you get new curtains, but then they don't really go with the throw pillows, so you'll need to make some new pillows as well. One thing leads to another.
Well that's the way things have been going around here.
I love the new light over the breakfast table. But there was just something not quite right about it. I finally decided the green light (which I decided to leave green) and the yellow tablecloth curtain behind it was just a bit too much for me. So I replaced the curtain with some really gauzy linen.
Simple is always better it seems.
I love it.
And I've been working on rearranging some pictures and framing some of our favorite photographs. Since I switched to a digital camera, I never seem to get prints made and framed. One day I looked around and all of our framed photographs were from at least 3 years ago.
I've been picking up random frames here and there. The three cork board frames now holding photos from our Christmas vacation trip to TX now hang in the playroom.
Finding good boy fabric is tough for me...meaning finding fabric that doesn't look too much like a baby and does not include a transformer or a star wars character. Not that we don't play with those things. I just don't want them on my curtains. The vintage fabric above used to be two coverlets originally sold by SEARS. They are now new playroom curtains. I love the boats and compasses and eagles.
The boys have been bringing home some exceptionally good artwork from school as well. They helped me pick out their favorite pieces and we framed them alongside some other prints that are finally hung.
In looking at all of these photos, I can't help but think that there is a lot of white...and clean space that is a bit out of character for me. Im guessing that my brain is in need of some clarity and white space as of late. We are up for orders again and things have been a bit tense around here. I don't really want to move again. But you military wives know how that goes, eh?
I guess the way one decorates their house really is a direct reflection of the owner.
What do you think your decorating is say about you right now?
