Slowly, I have unpacked, sorted, and put away. I haven't decorated at all inside, I've only bought a few plants for outside. I am DYING to decorate.
The problem... the color scheme my house is painted.
- The living room and my bedroom (which is visible clearly through the french doors off my living room) is an oatmeal cream color.
- The south wall in my living room, the one that you first see when you walk in my door, is painted red. It's a pretty red, a barn + rust, red.
- The dining room and kitchen is blue. It's a soft but bold blue. The dining room is visible in the living room
- The bathroom is a beautiful color blue. It takes me right to the ocean, I'm in LOVE with that color. Here's the color:

- emileigh's room is Pink it is decorated with Minnie Mouse-Dora-and Parisian
- Blayne's room is bright blue-green - we will be doing it in Angry Birds (i have no choice)
About 13 years ago, I was in love with the red/white/blue color scheme and deco. I was into it before September 11th and before the main stream jumped on the patriotic bandwagon. I enjoyed the search that was associated with finding just the right thing for my house. It felt like a win when I found just the right thing. That was before Kevin, and way before kids. I guess I just burned myself out? Don't get me wrong, June and July are major RWB months for me... but not year round. A few years ago, I got rid of most of my decorations.
Then, we move here.
So- while I love the colors, individually I'm not interested in decorating with them being the primary. My bedroom quilt is still a countryfried version of red, white, and blue, but that's going away... soon.
I've said all that, to say this.
I'm not an interior decorator, but I am an awesome pinterest(er).
I'm not a decision maker, on anything. AT ALL
I have to see something before I can understand the concept
I'm NOT made of money, not even pennies, so this must be done on the cheap.
I do not want cheap to mean trashy.
The next few posts will be filled with things tat make me smile, or what I think I want. For my B-town readers, feel free to come over and see first hand...
Below is the first installment of stuff I am loving right now:
