Hi! Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day. I took yesterday off from work and the blog, to recuperate from a long weekend out of town for a friend's wedding. It was nice!
Anyway, I took these photos to show you guys some changes I've been making in my house lately.
Things are coming along...
I moved the curtains (from Ikea, which I enhanced with the Greek key trim) from upstairs, downstairs, and hung them with a black rod. I also bought two Bertoia look-alike chairs from Amazon for the little breakfast nook. I love them! They look better than they feel, but it's ok. Beauty is pain. Heh.
The chairs came in a "chrome" finish, but I spraypainted them black.
I'm thinking I might replace the little cafe table, but not sure. If I do, I won't get rid of the current one, just store it. I love this table too much, and I am proud of how I made it! I think a salvaged wood (are we tired of salvaged wood yet? Maybe.) or color lacquered table could be cool. We shall see! I'm ok with my tulip table for now, though.
I also bought two of these tables from World Market for either side of the sofa. I do love them!
And, the glass lamps are from Target.
And! I've been on a succulent induced craze. I guess everyone has...
They're just so easy to keep alive, and Mika (my cat) doesn't eat succulents (he does, however, enjoy eating other leafy plants).
I bought this cute planter at TJ Maxx. It had a fake plastic succulent in it, and I cut it out and planted a real one. Much better.
I got this cute terrarium at West Elm:
Looks great! I want some side tables from World Market too...I need to just bite the bullet and buy them.
ReplyDeleteOooh I love those lamps! how long ago did you buy them? I have not seen them ay my Target. : (
ReplyDeleteKristen, where'd you get the Greek Key Trim? I need some!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Glo
I love the white succulent bowl :-)
ReplyDeleteelizabeth: I just got them recently, they should be in stores!
ReplyDeletewhat happens at GGs: i got it at hancock fabrics!
ReplyDeleteruth, thanks! it's from target, too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty and DIFFERENT from what you had going on before! not to say that it wasn't pretty before but i'm loving the neutrals!
ReplyDeletewow! Love it!! What a different look from dark! Where is your area rug from? Looking for something neutral. I have a cat and a dog, and a 6 month old baby---need something LOW maintenece. Does your cat scratch this rug by the way?
ReplyDeleteIs this the same house that's in the home tour on your blog? It looks like you need to update it! I really liked those black walls, ;(. Can you stencil on orange peel walls? It seems all your examples are on smooth plaster walls.
