NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK

   It's a new year.  Something about putting up that new calendar must make people want to clean, clean, clean - myself included!  My car knows the way to the drop-off line at Goodwill pretty well by now.  I guess after weeks of having my house a little over-decorated for the holidays, I crave more simplicity once the new year arrives.   Simplicity and change.

First of all, I decided it was time to give the BLOG a little color change.
Something calm and soothing.


Then, on to a few color changes around the house.  
Thanks to Horchow, aqua/turquoise is one of my favorite colors.  


 
 Then, I looked in the "Turquoise" folder I keep on my computer.  While I don't remember the source for all of these, they show some great ways to bring some turquoise-like color into a room.   The"slip" on this chair is not my style, but I do love the color of the chair itself.
         
So, today, I'm pulling out my little pot of turquoise-like paint and doing a little damage.
I'll post the results . . . if I like how it all turns out.

  1. This is a fun idea, we should all have a turquoise file, ha! Especially since Pintrest won't send me an invitation!
