Roomage

Ok, the wire cable spindles painted white and put on casters, the crates arranged beautifully on the wall, the fantasmic industrial light fixture, the antlers, and the piece of gray painted furniture against the wall.....make this room a combination of all things I think should be in a room.

Hands down.

Although, upon further consideration, I wonder how it would change the room if you were to add a really modern couch upholstered in gray flannel or a linen?...

Green seems to be the color of the moment. I am seeing it here, there, and everywhere....red carpet, nature {hah!}, and all over the design world.....

So, seeing all of this green has my mind twirling with thoughts of what I can put some fresh and tasty green on,

I have painted my fair share of green furniture, with trudie being one of my favorites, oh and then this little beauty from way back in the beginning.....but, it looks like I will be using my greens this week...because all I can think about now is a green piece of furniture!

Introductions

Today, I would love for you all to meet "woodington". I have had this chair in the studio for a while, and I just kept putting off the redo. I would search for fabric and nothing would hit me as THE one, and so therefore my little chair buddy just sat and stared at me with sad button eyes.

Well, a few weeks back, I came across this fabric....and needless to say, I couldn't get the scissors to cut fast enough! I knew exactly where this fabric would go, and in my minds eye a plan began to form. I dropped her off at my buddy Dale's house (he is the upholstery genius!) and when I got her back....my jaw literally dropped to the floor. I love her....love her. In fact the hubs said we need to keep her....but then I said, like I always do ..."I'll do another one!" ..... and indeed I will.

You can visit woodington in the etsy shop.

Etcetera

I want to move in! Seriously, I love everything about this room and one of my very favorite things is the say something pillow cases that you can write whatever you want on!

They are perfection, and the artist behind them.... Brooke (owner and curator of the lovely Pure and Noble) is double perfection....and has become a dear friend of mine who makes me laugh, challenges me, and encourages the fire out of me. I have much love for this girl....and yes, some of her pillowcases will be coming to live on my bed.

For realz.

Have a wonderful weekend you guys!
