Ottomans on the Brain

I finally got my new ottoman out of the box.

Yes, there is still lots of glitter on my rug from Christmas.

I should have vacuumed before I got the ottoman out but I didn't.

This is what it looks like.

The fabric is blah in the room.

I knew it would be.

I'll be making a slipcover for it.

I'm thinking this fabric.

I love solid velvet ottomans but since my sofa is solid pink...I need a pattern or 

another color.

I'll later make a solid white linen slipcover too.

I'll probably paint the legs white.

Pinned these rooms for inspiration.

Wow! Love this room.

I'm painting this huge chalkboard frame - white...might as well paint the legs on the 

ottoman while I'm at it.

Oops! Late for work...I'll link up photo links later when I get home.

I really don't have anything to say about all this except that it's awfully pretty and serene.

I'm thinking I might paint my living room and dining room white.

I'm afraid yesterday's post made everyone think I have alligator skin.

No, it just easily gets irritated by chemicals.

I mainly just wanted to let everyone know that I thought this stuff was fantastic.

And now it's incredibly soft. It is always soft but now it REALLY is soft.

But...I had several suggestions of other stuff I could try and I'll try them and let you know.

I take really good care of my skin...always have.

And everyone says I look much younger than my years.

I just thought that product something others might want to try.

It was the first time I ever bought anything I saw on tv.

Cloudy, rainy day here. I needed a little color pick me up.

I was going to show a few things around my house but its been cloudy since Saturday 

and I haven't been able to take any good photos.

So these will have to do.

I'm out shopping for fabric today for my dining room chairs.

I have no idea what I'm going to go with. 

I'm hoping something just hits me when I see it.

California Cottage

Once you get past the banana trees it's really lovely. How's that for an entrance?

I love how this home opens to the outside. 

Step out of the dining room to this sitting area and fountain.

Take a nap on this outdoor bed after a dip in the pool.

Oh...those Californians know how to live.

The kitchen is the only part of the house lacking but it could so easily be fixed.

It's actually very nice except for that tile behind the range. 

What were they thinking? I actually like avocado green mixed with periwinkle.

But I don't want to see it in kitchen tile in a nice fresh white kitchen.

But that could be fixed in a day.

See...nice without the tile.

Ah...finally...cute bathroom.

These images make me want to scrap all the color in my house.

I have white on the brain as I continue to paint my dining room furniture.

Chairs are done and now I'm working on the buffet.

I'm trying to decide if I will lightly distress it or heavily distress it.

I'm kind of leaning toward heavy distressing.

This would be an example of heavily distressed.

This buffet is very similar to mine and

is in the home of one of my neighbors.

She is actually using it as a changing table in her nursery.

You can see the whole home in this post. 

It's definitely worth clicking over and seeing if you haven't already.

But I might do it lightly distressed like I do most of my pieces.

I just can't decide.

Don't forget I have a giveaway going on through Friday, March 18.
