Give an Inch....

Hello all and Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend!  We had a busy weekend at the shoppe and some out of town guests as well.  Still, I managed to roll on a coat of new paint in the living room yesterday.... I sent the Mr. to watch the shoppe and the bambino and I stayed at home.  I was pretty productive!  I got two coats on and most of everything moved back before the Mr. got home... it is best that these sort of things are done without his knowledge *wink*  So, after painting the walls, the room has a whole new look that I will share when I get a few things hung.  My mind is spinning on how to really change it around without spending too much.  Here are a few photos that I haven't been able to get out of my mind since I saw them originally published.... before pinterest!  Was there ever a time?  I have since pinned them just in case my original magazine gets lost.

I shared this photo a long, long time ago.  It stuck with me.  I really love this room.  I am hoping to incorporate a little of this room in our living room.

This is another room that I adore!  I couldn't remember which magazine it was in the other night when  was searching through my stacks... I like to keep the original so I can refer back to the whole home... this  chick's home is fantastic!  Anyhow, I put in a quick text message to my friend and said something like.... remember the aqua velvet sofa with the long pillow?  She knew exactly what photo I was talking about and helped me narrow down the magazines.  That is true friendship.... remembering what rooms your friend loves!  I love this room!  The sofa is amazing.  I don't think I will be getting it any time soon though.

And the stacks!  It is no secret that I have a little thing for vintage luggage.  I have my own healthy stack already, but I thought I would include it since it is fantastic!

I have also been wanting to add some yellow to the room... and here is where I would take a mile...these drapery panels.    I love them!  But, they are sadly out of my price range right now.  I have seriously been stalking them, hoping they will go on sale.  I want them so badly!  I can't even find a good compromise on them.  I love my drapes that I have, but those could easily be moved to some windows that don't have curtains.

Okay, I am off!  I received quite a few custom pieces to paint this weekend and I also have to paint stuff for the shoppe and the booth.  There is still time to enter to win the Post Road Vintage Giveaway!

bye for now!
