How Fun Is This?....

I love it when I stumble across gorgeous restaurants!  

The textures in this place are stunning.  Notice the collection of vintage light fixtures and how they shimmer next to the reclaimed silvery woods.  That gorgeous teal is the perfect backdrop for the main room:

I think I just found my dream rug... vintage indigo combined with soft blues... sigh

Mirrors At The Entry

The little wall when you walk into the house has always bugged me.  It's a small space but I still want something there so guests don't walk in to complete emptiness.

Back in the fall I made a piece of subway art to fill the space.  It had the color I was looking for but I was never really satisfied.

I was in Target one day and found this set of Threshold sunburst mirrors on sale.  I figured the front entry would be a good spot for them.

Here's how they look.

 

I think they're screaming for a coat of ORB spray paint.  They are blending into the wall as they are now.
 

I'm on the lookout for a small table or bench to go here as well.  It will balance out the bottom half better than the vase.  The vase will find a home somewhere else. 
 

 

Have you found anything from the Target Threshold line you had to bring home?

Hanging A Mirror With Ribbon

I wanted to hang a mirror in the nursery but wasn't sure how I wanted to do it.  I thought about just gluing a hanger to the back and calling it lovely but I decided a ribbon would give me some more punch of color.

I started with a round mirror from Michael's, my orange ribbon, and hot glue.

 

I cut 2 pieces of ribbon the same length.  Remember to burn the edges so they won't fray.
 

I tried to decide how far I wanted the mirror to hang and tied a knot in the middle accordingly.  The knot is almost centered but more towards one side.

On one side I tied a bow and the other side I hot glued to the back of the mirror.

I hung it using a nail through the middle of the knot.

It's a nice little touch.  Thinking about a gallery wall around the mirror and some small trinkets.  Remember this will be the changing table.  What do you think?

Some Art For The Living Room

I can finally say there isn't a blank wall above the sofa anymore.  It took a few tries to find the right piece that we both liked but I think we're happy with this one.

 

It pulls all the colors from downstairs into one piece.  It's even got a little green which I wasn't sold on in the store but kind of like now.  Hubby liked the leaf as a focal point and it plays well with the vines and leaves in the chairs.

 

I also found a new lamp for the corner.  I wanted a drum shade and loved the tripod legs of this one from Target.
 

We're a little closer to complete in here.  Still would like to find some pillows that pop and definitely a rug.  Although, I've gotten kind of used to a rug not being in here.
