Can't understand why but I guess I lacked courage, or imagination, or something. Well. this year I fell in love with a really contemporary orangey piece of wall art at Pier I. We were reinventing our house, anyway, so I bought it and selected wall colors to go with that one piece, which is displayed with wash-lighting on my new dining-room wall. Several walls are a butternut squash color. One accent wall is a darker version of the same and the other, do you believe it, is navy blue! I put my new oak hutch on that wall displaying my mom's Mikasa china set that is putty and navy. Can't believe I did it. Can't believe we LOVE it. So, I totally understand you love and need for COLOR! It makes such a cifference.Sineahttp://www.ducksnarow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-14754280914595424412012-11-09T19:10:56.446-06:002012-11-09T19:10:56.446-06:00I have to get this book!

It's a little intimidating, but once you get going it's hard to stop, isn't it? I love having something on my walls that's one-of-a-kind. So far, I've ordered several Etsy prints, framed my kids art and am currently attempting a painting of my own. Next, I'd love to do the huge framed cork board like the one in the book.

I agree, it is so important that your home reflects you, what you love, your personalities and items should hold meaning.<br /><br />I am making it a goal of mine to check out at least one local art fair within the next couple of months! Sounds like a fun way to spend the day and hopefully I can find something that works within the walls of our home.<br /><br />xo!<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-47844847202624022362012-11-09T13:40:14.455-06:002012-11-09T13:40:14.455-06:00Such a great idea!

Nothing more fun than knowing you are getting an original and that no one has the exact same piece you do. I'm also a huge fan of art with some meaning behind it. I have a few pieces by someone who did my blog header and have cool neighborhood maps of all the cities I've lived in my adult life.<br /><br />What I love from the shots above is that you can really see their personality. To me that's so much more inspiring than what I sometimes see which are pictures that look like they could have come out of a PB catalog. I love your blog for the same reason, everything seems be infused with real personality.Kellyhttp://www.pink-apron.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-64494989788984191212012-11-09T10:46:37.004-06:002012-11-09T10:46:37.004-06:00We buy a little piece of art where ever we travel ...We buy a little piece of art where ever we travel to and then get them framed and have a nice little collage on the wall.
