Office/Craft Space Sources
I've had some questions about paint colors and sources for other things in my office, so here you go. I aim to please.
The interior of the rustic pine cupboard is painted in Celestial Blue by Pantone. The over sized glass jar that houses my German glitter is from Wal-Mart and the MMS letters are from Wuslu. The ironstone pitchers, locker basket and sorting rack are antiques.
The armoire is painted in a mix of equal parts Louis Blue and Paris Gray by Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. The detail is painted in Old White.
The mirrored armoire is an antique I purchased at a junk shop. The basket above is also from Wuslu and the "MAKE" letters are $5/each (on sale) from Hobby Lobby.
The wall color is Behr's Reflecting Pool at 25% strength. I liked the color, but wanted it to be super soft, almost white, so I had them only mix 25% of the tint mix into the base.
The plank wall was done for about $100 using a thin, pine tongue and groove paneling. I primed it first, then painted it in Behr's Bright White in satin.
I bought the frames at an auction and then gold leafed them and matted the magazine covers and features. Both cost less than $5 total. The lamp was purchased at Target eons ago and the antique pine table was purchased at a yard sale for $50. The amazing artwork is by Dee from Red Letter Words. I made the glitter letters. You can watch my video tutorial if you're interested in making some yourself.
The wool rug is from Target. I bought it on deep discount for under $100 a couple of weeks ago. If you want one, I would suggest dropping what you're doing and hit your local Targets to try to find one. I doubt they'll last long!
(To help a few people out on this, the name of the design is Azul Floral and my rug is a 5x7, but it comes in other standard rug sizes. It's a hand hooked wool rug from India and the DPCI is 066 04 0007. If that still doesn't help, send me an e-mail and I can take a picture of the label.
I hope that answers all of the questions!
fun finds
I did some shopping last week and found some very cool things to sell (and some to keep.)
The second I spotted this sign I knew it was mine. Oh yes, it would be mine...well, unless it was outrageous, but it wasn't. This one's a keeper. I have the perfect place, so it's within my guidelines to keep it.
Another keeper is this ironstone sugar jar. It was only $6.00!!
...another keeper is this $18 child's chair. I have three and have been hunting for a fourth and this one is perfect. I'm setting up a mini table and chairs in my family room in the corner where our treadmill currently is. It'll create a cute play area for my boys.
Oh, heck with it...I'm keeping almost everything! Aren't these mesh cloches cute? (I will actually probably sell these.)
And I couldn't resist a stack of notebooks and school primers. This handwriting book reminded me of my favorite Palmer's, Layla and Kevin. The color of the cover is amazing, too.
I also got a hand written class schedule...
...and some notebooks.
It's amazing to me to think that over 100 years ago, someone put pen to paper...to write out thoughts, take notes, keep record...and here they are now. In my possession. It's just cool.
One day, we may not even had handwriting samples to leave to our ancestors. They'll just find typed texts, e-mails and blog posts.
Have you found anything good lately?
Bright, airy, and beautiful spaces to brighten up your Monday
Ugh - I'm feeling this Monday pretty hard. I'd love to just layout in a chaise on my balcony and read and nap. I thought these white and bright images might be a little pick-me-up...
How pretty is this hammock?
