Spring is here! At least in my mind. How do I know? I have decorating fever. Every year, just about this time, I get tired of what I have and want to shake things up. Sort of hard to do, living in military housing, with military white walls, and military grade carpeting and linoleum (not in *my* colors). I have been perusing the decorating blogs and scaring Kahuna with all of my *I’m collecting for my forever home* talk. I have a guest room in my mind that I’m collecting for right now.
I invision white (believe it or not! :lol:) and black! I found some wonderful fabric and I plan on buying enough to make a bed skirt and pillows. Here it is:
It also comes reversed and I’ll use that for the border on the pillow cases.
In this room, I plan on using refurbed white furniture. I’m in the process of hunting for some wood chests that would be appropriate for me to refinish. I’m trying to decide if I want to hang the queens in an arch over the bed, or use some wording, instead of buying a headboard. You know I’m going to have to stitch Mirabilia’s Sabrina for that room. Oh, and I’m also on the hunt for a chandelier that I can refurb with lots of crytals to hang over the bed.
I also want to do something with the shelves in my living room. They’re teak (all my furniture is dark in there, since I bought if from Korea and Japan). I’m tired of just books and photos being there. I don’t want to paint them or anything just now (no more heart attacks for Kahuna, just yet), however, I have been thinking they need some lightening up and may just cave and do it eventually. 😉
