Contrast and creativity......personal touches

Diposting oleh fawaid on Kamis, 14 Mei 2009

I think everyone gets the "bug" to spruce up their home with something fresh as the Spring/Summer season rolls around. I certainly do!! I have been wanting to re-do a few rooms in my house so I loved reading this latest post on the 30days blog where she talks about adding personal touches to your home.

I thought I would share a few quick snapshots I took at my moms house the other day. I have always loved the punch of black the storage cabinets at the end her hallway make. When they bought the house they were just natural stained wood. A simple coat of black paint and updated hardware adds personality and interest. (Notice the nice black window frame on the wall too? Like daughter like mother! ) Plus I have always loved the natural round wreath hung about the cabinets. And oh yeah - I have one of those too! *snicker*
























Another fun creative personal touch is her "drawer". She took an old drawer and hung it on the wall to help showcase these very old kitchen tools which were my great grandmothers. And because the best part of the funky old drawer is the drawer front - she pulled it and attached it so it can be seen and showcased as well! Good job MOM! Doesn't seem to take much to add a little personal touch of your own to you home! Have any you want to share? let me know.....

Grouped Reflection......

Diposting oleh fawaid on Sabtu, 24 Januari 2009

So after some fun comments to my Framed post I dug through my picture files and found some photos I took last spring of my grandma's house. She has a great collection of items from rugs, to mirrors, jars, etc and has a knack for displaying them. I've always loved her "stuff".

For those that love groupings here are some of her mirror groupings. I've always wanted a wall of framed mirrors just like hers. Someday............


Front entry.....


The other wall in the front entry. I love how she stacked two mirrors on top of each other and they reflect the wall of mirrors on the other side......

A little corner in the office......



Want more? LimeFreckles let me know that she posted a picture of her mirror grouping in her bathroom. Check it out here!


Do you have a mirror grouping to share? post it and let me know!
