Okay, I had issues uploading these, so I'm not sure how they will show up on the blogger.
Ugh.
SO. Parade of Homes. My most favorite time of year!
I love the ideas I get! I've been wanting to do something for the niches by the TV since we moved in. I plopped some picture frames just because and haven't touched it since.
Here's the clean slate
And some inspiration pictures...
(Loved the mini cupboard)

And here's what I did:
um...it doesn't look good. why?! Is it the dark wood contrasts with the oak? should I paint the frames cream? Should I paint the cupboards? (YES PLEASE. and that's Dan laughing in the background)
These are two different styles to try out. Are they too big? should I go square or rectangle?
I think I'm leaning towards this one...
So I tried accesorizing with what I have. (not much. The candle sticks are too wimpy, but I like the greenery....probably in a lighter pot.
I could put something like this by it too...
Okay, and some other favorites, so I can "pin" them on pinterest. :)
Love the hanging shear by the bathtub.
They just painted the wall, so it looks seamless and part of the furniture.
LOVED this entry way with the built-ins on the side.
The built-in
More built-ins in the bedrooms upstairs. LOVE THEM!
I want to make something like this for here:
(This is the front entry way. I would like something to put on top or in the square canister thingy. I was hoping to find a cone form to stuff artificial stems in to create a topiary, but they aren't large enough. So, then I thought about a tomato cage thing. I haven't found one the right side, but it might work! :) Any ideas?
And finally....
Gorgeous fireplace and decorating.
A few more parade homes to go to this weekend!
Okay . .
ReplyDeleteSo my vote is for the funky looking one . . . and I didn't think I'd say this . . .but I think you should hang them up on the wall, instead of just resting them in there. And maybe you could hang a color . . .uhm. . i'm just going to call you . . .
