So now that things like drivers licenses have been updated, addresses have been changed, utilities are on - I can focus on decorating the house. Right? Turns out that's not exactly the case...
If you've seen my videos showing you what a project this house is, you'll understand how overwhelming this is. At least it is for me - the decisions! So I went to Chicago to help my sister make some home deco decisions instead :)
Working with someone else's home deco (and $) just seems to work for my motivation; we figured out a new couch, new paint for her living/dining room, new carpet, and narrowed down her kitchen cabinet color...in one day!
Coming home, I was motivated to do something and after a morning shopping, here's what I found:
Isn't this curtain panel gorgeous? (Rhetorical) It almost didn't come home with me, but I figured it could always be returned. The inspiration fabric has the aqua and green colors that I was looking for, but also bits of yellow, which I wasn't. It may require me to change the dining room color up a bit...but that's another post for another day... I tacked it up on my wall and fell in love. The fabric lights up the living room, and makes it interesting. I'm so glad I took the chance on it!
I just love the retro fabric and the colors work so well with my green leather chairs:
There's even paint on the walls...even if it's only samples. I think the lighter one is going to be the one, but I need to see it in night light as well as day time. The darker one is a bit too blue and isn't as sophisticated...and if Ah cain't be so-fis-ti-kated in real life, my walls sure can be.
Curtains are always the hardest decision for me and now that these are perfect, I can move forward...unless my husband hates them...oh heck. I'll keep you posted.
LOVE the fabric Jill! *fingers crossed* hubby likes them because they really are purdy and I think they add to that level of so-fis-ti-kation your lookin' for!
ReplyDeleteFabric looks great! And the color is pretty. You need to go find something ugly and pretend you like it so hubby gives in :).
ReplyDeletei love it! the colors are so pretty!!! i agree with janel- pick something heinous and have him pick between the two... ha ha! he is sure to like this one in comparison. in other news i got a new quilt the other day and it's bolder and i thought hubby was gonna hate it. he saw it last night and i didn't mention it had arrived... he came downstairs and said to me "i LOVE the new quilt. i really love it." i had to ask him if h was messing with me, which he was not. so you never know.
ReplyDeleteOne decorating step at a time my dear. Paint is a huge step for me.
