Fresh ~
Lately, I’ve been drawn to room designs
with bits of bright color and touches
of glimmering GOLD! Gold is SO glamourous and clear
color brings such energy to a room!
I’m am also currently obsessed with the
notion of the UN-decorated room. It’s an eclectic mix,
that is LOW on matchy-matchy decor and
HIGH on imagination! With that in mind, I
launched my seasonal decor switch (again!!). You know the one, where I beg,
borrow and shop from home, to give our rooms a
fresh new feel for
free! Well almost free, I did pick up a cool new
side table! LOVE the chunky GOLD chain base and white
marble top! Hey, a girls gotta have some fun,
right? Anyway, here’s what transpired:
A few small, existing tables were moved from here to there…
This corner table, now holds a collections of family photos…
and this English ‘hunt’ style table, now sits off the
kitchen and works beautifully serving up a
colorful continental
breakfast!
I pulled in, framed
vintage luggage tags
as artwork and a
simple antiqued mirror.
I borrowed some some fluffy white
pillows…
(Haley’s Cottage) from the
living room and
B & W hounds-tooth from the
media room. I picked up a gold mesh
number for glam extra seating.
I set up a
fancy bar on our sideboard.
It’s a collections of pretty
glassware, edged in GOLD and
glamour. Love the recycled Chambord bottle.
Next, I went on a home-wide hunt for color & gold. When I came up
SHORT on both, I had to get
creative. I used bright books…
jewelry boxes and
graphic picture frames to add some freshness
and then I painted the town
gold…
just a few golden highlights, actually, but
AVA, our Golden Retriever, looked
worried :) I brought in fragrant fresh flowers
and greenery…
Inexpensive place mats add a bright Moroccan vibe
I love the the of string of pearl lamps,
borrowed from the living room & entry!
I added even more color with natural,
edible arrangements of fresh
citrus and a pretty, gold framed vintage hour
glass print, from a
childhood friend. You see…
It’s TIME for another Girls Night In at
our house! The theme…
‘Simply Citrus’…Can’t wait!
Our rooms have a fun new energy and a
fresh eclectic mix.
AND it didn’t cost me much…to undecorate,
Your ‘Simply Citrus’ theme is brilliant! LOVE all the color! Good job on shopping from home…..such a fun thing to do! And, I LOVE LOVE the chain-linked table!!
