Random snaps from spaces past.
Some better pics of the current house colors (thanks overcast skies!). I want to paint that bench Safety Yellow… the Bauhaus Gold doesn’t have the pop I’d anticipated. Wondering too if the star would be better in a brighter color, like Jade teal instead of plum….
Zee kitchen so far. We intended to build a wall today… ran into some electrical issues though with trying to move/modify a triple light switch that took a few hours. Instead we moved the baseboard heater and slid the fridge into its new spot. So far so good!
Slowwwwwww progress.
Kitchen/dining area re-mod ideas. Bigger pic can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/all_about_evelyn/8010162308/sizes/l/in/photostream/
Details by numbers:
1. chalkboard fridge.
2. color that the chairs will be repainted (very similar) & probably the color of the upper shelves that will be in place of cabinets.
3. painted teal cabinets.
4. another teal paint swatch.
5. moodboard type swatches - cabinets, chairs & shelves, drapes (color on white ground?) as seen on A Beautiful Mess.
6. planning on painting some accent on our table neon pink, like these chair legs.
7. basic wall layout - base cabinets (except teal), butcher block counters, tile (mirror tile instead) and wood above with shelves mounted.
8. mirror tile backsplash between the upper plywood wall & the butcher block counters, just like this.
9. the locker cabinet I’ll be painting a brighter teal to use as a pantry (integrated with the other cabinets).
10. head of the table chairs x 2, also to be painted the same yellow.
11. butcher block counter tops.
I need to revamp my profile.
It only took 9 years but the white bug hit me and we repainted three of the rooms in our house. I also splurged and bought the Anthro Lush Landscape bed set with a portion of our tax return. The top two pics are the room as-is, the bottom is a moodboard of what I want to add:
- diy fuchsia ruffle curtains
- a yellow Panton S chair knockoff
- an oval jute rug at the end of the bed
- probably change out the green beads with some coconut disc curtains for the bed, and…
- medallion designs for the closet doors (also white now) - either in silver paint marker or in wood vinyl/thin wood veneer (likely the chunkier version if that’s the case).
Not included in the mockup - the enormous piece of art I have rough ideas for in my head, to hang over the sideboard. Lots of color, but bigger swathes than the quilt. Measurements: 66”x48”. And some stuff for the headboard shelf, but less regimented than the previous incarnation. I ordered a cute white ball alarm clock.
Also - I’m hoping to have some more rough pics to show in a day or two of the other (unfinished) rooms.
1&2: details
3: I love how it looks in dim light. Her eyes glow.
4: Wide view of the kitchen/dining area. Where we’re imagining a new table, and there’s usually a white fluffy flokati rug beneath it. And where that green candelabra will live.
(an aside: the bee idea came from a cover shot I saw of Lana del Rey, but after deducing & reading that she’s had collagen injections in her top lip {whaaaaat??} I decided to loosely base it upon the HBIC of rock whose bee stung pout is unenhanced…. Ms. Shirley Ann Manson.)
