A friend stopped by for coffee and ended up giving me lots of great advice. We had a really ugly light fixture that I wanted to replace and she suggested painting it!!! Paint it?!?! The mess…the work…yuck!!! I was sooo wrong!!! Bought black matte spray paint for way less than even the cheapest new light fixture, Keith held the light, I sprayed, we immediately rehung it (yes wet!!!) since he was not willing to hold it for the 2-4 hour drying time!!! In a matter of minutes we had transformed the light and love it!!!
More paint and fun material transformed equally as ugly stools in to fun additional seating!!!
In our 800 square foot 4 rooms of precious space, we have a living room, 2 bedrooms and a family fun play room. It was in desperate need of fun art. Going to Hobby Lobby or any fun place for art is really not a easy or affordable option here. Sooo, I found some photos online and had them framed and printed…about 10 for $40!!! Here are a few I chose…
I was bummed to discover that in our many moves, I had lost much of our travel memorabilia. So, I also did the same for our wall of travel adventures.
Hawaii…
Athens…
Barcelona…
Constantinople…
El Gouna, Egypt…
Pisa…
Istanbul…
Sidi Bou Said, Tunisa…
Moscow…
Just another bright spot in our house!!!
I was really dreading this move, but have so quickly fallen completely in love with every inch..or centimeter :-)…of space!!!
