Project of the week

I have this itch to sand, paint, and repurpose something this week. So on my list to find is an old head board for Austin's new tractor room. I am thinking bright red! This might change when I see the old frame. Got my drawing board and ready to put together all the pieces of this antique space, all for a 3 year old to love! Wish me luck to find that right piece for his space.

Inspiration Board

We are buying a new place! Hopefully closing on the house mid. April. For the past few weeks I have been picking out wood flooring, carpet, paint, and decorations. I always went with more clean line/modern feel in my home. Probably because it is the cheapest way to decorate.
As I have been researching and designing the home remodel I came across this Pottery Barn photo and feel in love with the space. The modern blk frames paired with antique boxes, I just love! The wall colors will be in my living room and all trim in house off white.
So keep an eye out for my remodel projects this spring!

Rental designs

7 1/2 years Kevin and I have moved to 3 different countries and rented many "different" style homes. It has been interesting to decorate rentals. I have some thoughts on decorating a place that is not your own, to help you feel at home then living in a white box.
Simple things you can do to add detail and personality. Pillows are my weakness! I buy decor pillows any time I see them on sale. It is an easy way to get a new look with a neutral sofa. Another thing is accent pieces. I love to take a bright red vase, red books, and other red things and group them on a shelf. You can make a big impact with pops of color! Thrift shops are the best places to get accent pieces for pennies. So on these snowy days you feel down...go bargain shopping and cheer up that white rental home!
