Turquoise is defiantly one of my favorite colors. I love that there are so many different shades of it. Turquoise is a great vintage color but also looks modern. I plan to paint one of my bathrooms in a pretty shade of turquoise. I think turquoise hair is gorgeous as well!
How do you feel about the turquoise?

Thrifty Finds: My Living Room Chairs

While thrifting a few weeks ago I found some cute mid-century modern chairs! It was $15 for the pair.
I needed chairs to put at my vintage table in my living room. I was getting so sick of looking! Everything I wanted started at $150 each. When you go thrifting over and over and NEVER find anything, you get very discouraged. I am glad I didn't go buy anything expensive and was patient.
I am very happy with the end result. The fabric is from JoAnn's and only cost me $6 for 2yards! The fabric gave me another POP of turquoise in my living room! YAY!
Chloe likes to wiggly, run in circles and play when I am trying to photograph her! She is so cute!
Stay tuned for photos of the entire living room!
(and more cute pictures of Chloe.)

Design Board - My Dining Area

If you follow my blog you know that I am having some serious decorating withdrawals. We get the keys to our new place on the 21st! I have only seen pictures of a different unit, not the actual one we are renting. That's all it took though to get my wheels turning. Currently we eat in our living room everynight! We need to buy some dining room chairs and unless I find some at a thrift shop I think I may have finally picked a set from Target. Here is a design board I put together for our new dining area....

I love this color scheme. It probably is one of my favorites! I try not to decorate so matchy matchy, but I gotta say it's what my eye is drawl to. I can't help it! It's what works for me in my home. I am currently trying to decide if I am going to paint or not. If I do I will stick to accent walls probably, so it's easier to paint back when we move out. If you love turquoise and aqua blues, go check out Mandi's kitchen table she just painted over on her blog Vintage Revivals! It's amazing!

WILD TARGET

Cody and I are back to watching movies again. We are picky, so some nights we spend an hour flipping through Netflix trying to decide on something to watch! Last night we settled on the movie WILD TARGET...We both really enjoyed it. It is rare for me to find a movie that has 3 actors in it that I like and that are the main characters! Bill Nightly plays a hit man, Emily Blunt is a theft and Rupert Grint was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. It is entertaining if you need a laugh. I fell in love with a hotel room that was in the movie. Decorated in turquoise and lime green...I wish I could find more pictures of the room, but had no luck! I looked at Cody and said,"That would be a great color scheme for our living room!" He just gave me this look that said, "You know I hate lime green." Turquoise and lime green are two of my favorite colors! Putting them together just equals = AWESOME! Decorating for me is slow right now since we are on a tight budget and have no luck finding anything when we go shopping. I wish I could paint! It kills me to not put color on the walls! I will own a house again someday. Till then white walls and dreaming of the day I get to look at paint swatches at Home Depot....

Images found at The Broken Project. You can read more about the movie there.

Master Bedroom Collage

My Bathroom {March 2010}

The last room in my house to be decorated :



I kept this small bathroom simple. If I didn't have my house for sale the walls wouldn't be white. I would of painted it some BOLD bright color. I fell in love with the shower curtain from Target! It was something I thought I could use in my next place. I bought a Billy Bookcase from IKEA to use as a storage cabinet next to the shower. I designed the print hanging on the wall to match the space.

Here is a shot of the bathroom when we bought the house :


We ripped out everything! We put a small shower stall in the bathroom instead of a tub.
