Harmony's Nook

I’ve been pretty lax on the home design front since the move. My place is cute and welcoming, but certainly not finished. I have made a lot of progress. I DID clean out my closet and get started on my bedroom. It’s going to be so cute when I’m finished.

I’ve felt guilty about not updating this blog, but I can’t force it. Well things on this front have calmed down a little and in the meantime my home design bug has returned! I have some new ideas and some new energy to carry it out.

Here are some ideas I have for some CHEAP upcoming projects:

I have an old white farm table that I use for my computer desk. The top of it isn’t in the best shape. I love this idea of covering the top with wallpaper and using a sheet of plexiglass over it to protect it.

I love how casual this art installation is. Anyone that has read this blog for a while knows that I hate hanging art in frames. Okay…truth is…I don’t hate it. I just SUCK at hanging art. Anything that makes it easier for me I love. I really like these binder clips. My roommate will hate it. He likes things hung properly in frames.

I’ve been obsessed with this wallpaper panel thing for some time. I think it’s such a great focal point. I want to hang a panel behind my bed. It will be a bright teal and add such a great jolt of color to my predominantly neutral bedroom.

I know that the painted furniture fad is a bit overdone, but I LOVE this piece. It makes me want to go to salvation army or brown elephant and redo an old dresser. I love the yellow, but I’m also thinking perhaps a robin’s egg blue color, and I just happen to have the paint already!

That’s it for now. I am inspired again which is great. I will post pictures of my apartment soon. I promise. I REALLY DO PROMISE!

Love Harmony

p.s. These photos were in my inspiration folder and I’m not sure where I got them. As soon as I figure it out I will list the proper sources.

Today was a really hard day. Eric’s cat died. The same cat that I have bitched about time and time again. I even bitched about him on this blog. The same cat that for a period of time I wished he would get rid of it. The one I called Manjster. His name was Manji. Get it? Anyway, he’s gone now and today I was heartbroken.  I miss him and I feel so awful for Eric. Manji was his baby. And truth be told I had grown pretty fond of the little guy. He was really happy in the new apartment. He had a great weekend full of turkey and head scratches and people adoring him. He was very happy here. So I’m glad that he died happy. He was our little snow leopard and he will be sorely missed.
