I’m pleased to announce that the house is coming together quite well. I will post pictures soon however, I’m frankly not ready to yet. There’s still so much that needs doing! Conor and I did get some photo frames up on the wall making the place seem so much more like home! But like I said, still so much more to do (today’s a “ride my bike to Target day”).
Speaking of Frames, I remember reading about this really cute and easy decorating trick in some magazine (maybe Martha Stewart?). The needed materials would be: A frame, a colourful piece of paper sized to fit within the frame, paint, paint brush and a leaf. Paint the leaf on it’s more textured side (the side with all the veins) and then stamp it down onto the colourful piece of paper. Let dry and frame! Voila! I personally envision a white frame, bright pastel green paper (with a bit of texture) and white paint. I think this would be a really cute thing to do in a kitchen and I’m considering it for next spring. I think I would do 3 separate white frames with different inner colours and white paint. It would be easy to change the mood of it too. Black paper with white paint would be much more modern with a twist of nature. Warmer, darker, more mature colours (burgundy, teal, moss green… the likes) would give off sophistication. The brighter colours and the pastels would be funner, more relaxed and less mature (yes colours have maturity). You know, less serious! There’s my little bit of knowledge for the day! Hope you enjoyed!
