Well if anyone is listening, or reading, I deleted 2 blogs which I had just posted. Ha, the most technologically challenged person (me) is trying to be a blogger. Working on it...This is a bit of a repeat, but here are some photos of my new shelves:
 |
| Old yellow shelves, brown walls |
 |
| White shelves...After the yellow I love the fresh look! |
Still want to get some new things to add on to my shelves. Love typography mixed with old books and some sort of a collection, like starfish, coral, shells or butterflies (see below). Here are some inspiring shelves:

| Pottery Barn |

| Better homes and Gardens |

Yes, so I am inspired to re-arrange...Plan on working on some new floor cloths this weekend so I can get them out in the world. Starting local, at the farmers market here, and then hoping to get a website.
Also, in my last post (which I late night deleted, whoops) I spoke about painting my ceiling blue. My husband is not on board with this idea; however, if I ever listened to him we would be living in a 2 bedroom apartment on campus, with tapestries for curtains held up with duct-tape, and posters of Jerry Garcia on the wall as our fine art decor. We probably would not have a mortgage, pets, or even kids for that matter. Ha ha. My point is that, well, I just go with my instinct and like to change things up...He takes a bit longer on these decisions, but I am going to paint our ceiling blue...Quiet moments by Benjamin Moore. Here is an idea of my new color scheme:

| Quiet moments on ceiling, Wheeling Neutal on walls, my living room |

| New Brown couch that started it all...My living room with its new paint.Working on fabric for pillows, curtains and new floor cloth design for Lv room... |
And then, much to his chagrin, I plan on brightening up our stone fireplace. It is such a dark grey/smoke stained color. We also have a brick fireplace in the basement which I plan on painting off-white. Check out the before and after in these photos:

| Plain old dark brick looks dated |

| Better, right? |

Ok, thats it for today. My awesome sister reccomended I look at Hawaiian quilts for floor cloth inspiration. I think I will, check out these pillows.
