It's decorating time!
This year I have let my house go so it's frightening!
I feed off of my surroundings for inspiration in writing, creating art and feeling whole...its that important to me.
This rubs off in every area including the meals I cook and my enthusiasm to clean, or lack of as is the case now!
The kind of redo I have in mind is the no budget/ take from the grocery budget kind ~
You all know what I mean!
Here are some of my inspiration pictures from the internet.....
I love the way the chairs and table are grouped together with everything away from the walls.
The mismatched furniture is cozy and comfy.
This is the paint color I want to use in my hallway , does anyone know the name or brand?
In this photo the old architecture and chipped wood is striking!
There is a such a beautiful glow to this room.
Fireplace idea?
Love the cool, soothing feel to this room!
My supplies on hand are ~
1. A $20.00 drop cloth from Walmart which provides lots of yardage to do some slipcovers.
2. A large white, chipped fireplace enclosure that is sitting in the garage
3. A ripped wing chair
4. 5 packages of $4.95 tulle curtains from Ikea.
6. My 25 year old collection of Country Living, Martha Stewart, Victoria Magazine and Home Companion for inspiration.
I have just a few weeks to get this done as I am surprising Frank with a 50th Birthday party Labor Day week-end.
Wish me luck!
pretty bollster pilow!

I was just going thru my 12 yr collection of magazines and came across that 3rd photo with the cool artsy stuff. Sent a pic to my friend whose house was just shot for a mag. She couldn't understand why they wanted her mostly white house...if they were going to thru all kinds of color in it with their props. That photo was a great example. She hated, it I love it. and yes we are still friends.
good luck with the redecorating
