Hi everyone,
My sister calls to inform me the sun is shinning in CA. And her point? She does kid me every now and again about all the rain here in Portland, OR but somehow we manage not to float away. It is supposed to rain later today, I know she will be thinking of me. HA
Anywho. I'll be staying in this evening. I feel the need to change my own space around. Time to change a few pictures out and accessories. Sometimes looking at the same thing month after month makes everything look boring and tired. Here is what I'm going to do and you can try this in any of your rooms as well.
The dining area is open to the kitchen and living room so the changes I make there will affect the other rooms as well. So here goes.
I'm going to take down the wine related pictures, the wine sign, and other wine related items in the space.
Actually I'm going to use pictures from a chef calander that my sister gave me. These are not the typical pictures you see everywhere. I have picture frames that I will take the old pictures out and put these ones in.
The large black matte will make these colorful pictures really pop. I'll take down the current drapes and put the light yellow tab top curtains up. It doesn't matter that it is technically winter, I want a change and light yellow curtains are going up.
This is how I picture it now, but things could change and that is part of the fun of doing a redesign, even my own!
Think of what you have in your home, what pictures can you reuse? Bring out old family pictures and swap them out. Great conversation starters, especially for younger members of the famly to see pictures of relatives or even their parents.
Think outside the box and reuse or repurpose what you have. It is about making your home, yours!
Bye for now,
