Through all of the drizzle, earlier this week this is the condo lobby that we have been working so tirelessly on!
Eek! Right? The paint, tiles, fixtures, and furnishings were so dated. New and improved, but not quite finished…
What do you think of the new color scheme? The new light fixtures and area rug should really warm things up.
Next week, I’ll show you a few more shots with the furnishings. I hope you will enjoy the weekend. I couldn’t be more ready!
Life seems to slow down when it rains…time rolls softly like raindrops down the window pane and I find time to admire the splatter while sipping tea.
These days, I yearn for galoshes to splash through the puddles
or these Hunter wellies
and places to store my umbrella (to be honest…I don’t even own an umbrella;)
but I do love a sweet trenchcoat to throw on.
I wanted to check in with you all and see what kinds of cool things you have been up to…please share links!
I stole this idea from the Living magazine that I “borrowed” from my Nana on a trip to Kentucky. She gave me a stack to read while on the plane. I guess we know where some of my crafty instincts come from- and I don’t mean Martha!
Aren’t the results exquisite? When I saw this there were so many things that I wanted to dip in dye that I didn’t know where to start!
Beach bags, totes and autumn scarves all rank up there pretty highly. Baskets in leftover house paint, RIT fabric dye on the ends of curtains...oooh…awww…the white and red paint looks as crisp as the autumn air.
I know I could score some affordable and fabulous baskets over at Cost Plus World Market. Man I love that place! Then, I did what they did over at Paint Me Plaid.
(Great job~ by the way!) I found something to upcycle …and VOILA!
It was a complete coincidence that the colors in the 2 pics are similar. I started with a darker turquoise then quickly realized I needed a whole LOT more paint. So, I dumped a quart of leftover white into a larger bucket and swished it around. Although the basket in the before pic looks decent the bottom was actually pretty soiled…so I thought a dunk in a fresh color would make it new again! Would you agree?
What do you have lying around the house to dye?
I’m still itching to try out something in Hunter Green. May need to scratch that one pretty soon.
