The color and contrast are great and impactful making the dark shades of the groom stand out in his stoic pose. Perfect.

Living Room Design [interior Design]

Sigh. Ever complete a project and then think "Alright. Mission accomplished. Next project." only to find yourself staring at said project months later and pondering changes? That's what's going on here. I tend to make lemonade out of lemons due to financial reasons but frankly I'm sick of it. We left off here in the Living Room.

 

Minor updates have occurred in this room (a coffee table and black shades on the sconces) but I''ll share the thrilling [sarcasm] changes later.

 

Buuuuuut this room was based on accepting the fireplace as is and just painting and living with it. Then I came across this pin:

 

 

I want this. The fireplace that is and I will admit a small obsession with Calacatta and Carrera marble.

 

Here is a little mock up:

 

 

 

Maybe the chevron changes to stripes. Maybe I pick another wall color but the focal point is the fireplace and wouldn't it look GOOD! It's my style. I'm not a big fan of traditional unless it looks cool with contemporary (sorry gold couch). I'll have a future post about my quest for armed sconces.

 

So much better right?

Halloween Decor [interior Design]

So I did some Halloween decorating this year.

 

This is the entry from the front door

a detail shot (the pumpkin is a champagne color but due to terrible lighting and grey Michigan natural lighting this is what you get at 5 pm in October)

Overwhelming. I know. Super super spooky. Last year those spiders were the ONLY Halloween decoration so I'm moving up in the Halloween world. Baby steps. What have you added to last years Halloween decor?

Ikea Entry "Installation" [interior Design]

I've been meaning to post this for. a. while. My living room in the background has been reincarnated a zillion times since these photos were taken so please ignore it. This project was simple and functional. All I did was hang a LOT of Ikea's Bjarnum hooks in the straightest lines I could drill:

Ikea

 

 

The result:

 

 

Closed

 

 

 

Open



 

Side views closed

 

 

 

 ........and open (mid installation)

 

 

 In use.

 

Many people are surprised to see that they are more than decorative. I think they're even growing on my husband.
