Ooops I Did it Again!

I redecorated the guest room...  I know, I know! It's a problem

It was only a month ago that I re-decorated the guest room and now I am re-decorating it AGAIN.

The last look was okay but I wasn't 100% about it.


The golden curtains made the warm grey paint color look a little off and that green chair was too big for that little corner.  It just wasn't right.


But now.... I LOVE this room!  It's almost done!  It's my favorite room in the house!

I got this gorgeous handmade blanket and all the colors are perfect for this space!


I found a couple more vintage suitcases and I love how they all have different patterns and textures!

I put white curtains back up and found a smaller chair for the corner. I'm loving the way its looking but I'm not sure how I am loving the black frames, mirror and lamp bases.

With that said, I am contemplating spray painting them.  I want to give them a couple coats of looking glass spray paint by Krylon.


I would like to achieve the look of these votive holders (see below). I'm hoping I can spray them and create an antique patina look.  The plan is to start with the frames and go from there. 


I will keep you posted! Happy almost Friday!

Main Floor Wishlist

Our main floor is alllllllmmoooost there!  Much of our home is working with what we have but I really am wanting to get some new pieces that pull everything together.

 The new dining light that I mentioned here is going to look amazing in our dining room.

I love the antique/industrial look and like how they almost look transparent which will be great when looking from the living room all the way into the kitchen!
I also want a new living room sectional.  I love the sofa and chair we have now but they are SO hard to keep clean with the dogs and all the traffic running through that area.  I am trying to decide between faux leather and fabric slip covered sectional.

I really like this one.  I want one with a chaise on one side, I also want a lighter color which will get dirty easier but as long as its slip covered I can wash it easily.


I also want new living room curtains but don't know which ones to get! I can figure that out once I get a new rug.  I want a rug that makes a statement against our neutral walls and sofa.  I found some examples.  The rug has to be something that can easily be cleaned.  I need to do some more research!


New countertops are definitely on the wishlist.  Our current countertops were installed as temporary and I can't wait to get new crisp, clean white corian countertops!
Love the clean look...

and how it makes everything stand out! Our backsplash and curtains will pop with new, white countertops!
*Found these by typing "white corian countertop" into Google*

Well, there you have it.  A bunch of big expensive items I want but am going to have to be patient for!
