I am also somewhat convicted that I would rather be blogging and decorating than spending time reading my Bible and spending time with the Lord. Maybe I should make a deal with myself that I can do neither of these things I love before I have had a quiet time. Oooo, that's good!
Remember this little find from Goodwill? It was so sad...
Bam! I LOVE this piece of furniture! I sanded, primed and SPRAY PAINTED this puppy black. Then I took some sandpaper and roughed up the edges a bit. Add in some sparkly knobs and voila... my new fave re-furb. Of course Emmy has already broken her in by ripping off the two top knobs. Oh my. Toddlers.
So here's where I need some help. Being this is my personal journal I don't really know how many folks actually read this. But if you are out there I want your input!!
Something about our bedroom has always bothered me. It feels too big and not very cohesive. I decided it would be fun to see what would happen if I hung a curtain in this random knook/office space to separate our bedroom from our office chaos (see below!)![](//4.bp.blogspot.com/_zkrTYeDzB5o/TNMUMP-S5dI/AAAAAAAAA9E/TxEedDZrGWI/s320/home+decor+010.JPG)
I also am not in love with this wall and don't know what to do about it.
So give me your honest opinion. Thumbs up or down? I literally tacked this curtain up to the ceiling and haphazardly tied it back, so that for sure needs some work if this will stay.
I am also trying to bring in some more modern elements into our home. My mother-in-law bought me this lamp for my birthday when we were out shopping at Marshall's the other weekend. I like it SO much. I also really like my wreath-in-a-frame look. The wreath will sport seasonally appropriate goodies throughout the year.
I found this old orange blanket I bought years ago at IKEA last month and think it looks cool with the light blue walls and other colors in the house. I have also been told orange is so "in" this year. Ha! Like I know anything about that!!
Here's a more comprehensive look at my fall decorations. Soon to come- a family painted masterpiece on the mantle. Translation: the kids will do whatever they want to a large canvas I bought at Hobby Lobby (half off baby!) with colors I have chosen. Hopefully it will look modern and not like a hot mess.
I also am not in love with this wall and don't know what to do about it.
i LOVE that lamp! and i think the curtain is a great idea. basically, i want your house.
