Decorating my new home Mood
Saturday, June 28, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

Plans for decorating:

 

Kitchen:

All accents, like curtains, rugs, clock, plant pots, tea kettle, place mats, table cloth, napkins, etc. will be bright yellow against stark white, with a touch of black.

 

Living room:

Furnture and cutains will be shabby chic. Lots of floral designs and pictures. Ni limits on colors. I'm going to hang multi colored patio lights on the ceiling. I know it sounds gaudy, but it's part me. My bird cage with all the beads  and birds.will be a focal point also.

 

Spare bedroom:

I inherited furniture and bedding from my sister, A metal, antique bed, cream colored. The bedspread is floral with pinks and soft greens. It will be a reminder of her always. I'm going to set up up a place to my beading in that room.

 

Master Bedroom:

Rusts and browns. Antique dressers, which need to be refinished.

 

Now, I have an extra bed with Native American motif stuff. I don't have the bedroom to put it in. I guess I'll set it up in the basement.

 

I guess my new home will really be eclectic, just like me. Can't commit to any one theme.

 

I am thankful for a roof over my head.

I am thankful for the opportunity to decorate.

I am thankful for a big yard to landscape.

 

Love, hugs, and best wishes,

Vicki
