...not my forte

Decorating has never been my forte. I feel like I have no style when it comes to putting a room together. And now that I have 1/2 of a house without vinyl wallpaper, I can actually adorn the walls with some art!


I usually have a large painting over the mantel, but yesterday I liked the staggered look of this diptych abstract I painted last year.


Here is my newest favorite corner of the house! My mother-in-law brought us an end table awhile ago that had been out in the pottery studio. It then made its way into the spare bedroom and was covered with a white sheet and piled with pottery. I decided it was time for a face lift. I painted it a matte black and nestled it into the corner which will house our pellet stove someday. But until then, this little table has a new home! And I'm loving all the color!


...and our dining room now has New Monday on the wall which was in the living room. I like it so much better in there. It pulls all the browns together with a hint of color.

Sonya, that lamp was in my grandparents' basement. I just inherited it. The base was a speckled blue and a little much, so I put a bit of brown paint on it. =) I love it too! Thanks girl!
