Just pushed two birds out of the nest tonight, wished them the best of luck and got over my empty nest syndrome in half a second.....after all, a woman can't grieve for her children all her life, can she?
Now....lets discuss Sam's sleeping arrangements....
You'll be glad you don't have drywall, Morel! I HATE drywall! Can't hang a picture or anything without making a big issue of it, a gaping, flaking hole and having to find a stud (and you KNOW how hard
that is)
.
How bout a cool white or warm yellow wash on those walls, neutral shades on the furniture with pretty accent colors for the chairs, pillows and art work...nothing dark or brown to be had! I grew up in log cabins and feel your pain! Everything rustic as all get out...depressingly brown, green and more brown.
Deep, over stuffed furniture with cotton twill slip covers (practical and cheap from Surefit) custom throw pillows of your own design....make this truly your chick haven. Lots of shades and hues that are relaxing but engage the eye...you have an artist's eye, so make this guest house your pallet and live in the picture!
Can you just see entertaining your friends for a girl's evening, furniture all grouped for conversation, soft and pretty fabrics, warm sunlight spilling through the window highlighting the blend of colors and forms you have chosen. As the night falls, the lamps get turned on and provide a soft glow that halos your artwork on the walls.....they've got their feet drawn up on your couch, the comfortable laughter ripples through the room, the food, drinks and ambiance is just right.....Morel Cottage...a place for introspection, comfort and peace. Ahhhhhhhhh......slide into the feeling of it.
Yep....I'm there!
I thought I was FINALLY going to have some drywall! I live in a log house and I really wanted drywall! I have shabby chic'd my log house because I am tired of wood! It is sooooo MASCULINE!
