I was not able to carve my pumpkin for Halloween so instead I carved it for Thanksgiving. Why Not. I carved a cornucopia design into the pumpkin and arranged flowers inside. I used a assortment of mini carnations, mums. Gerber daises, eucalyptus, and alstroemeria This was my first time doing this and I learned a lot from this little project. This is something I will be visiting again in the future. If you would like to see more of the process you can go to my flick page

The two together

I found two end tables up in my attic that were broken and abandoned way before I moved into my apartment (almost two years ago now). The tables were covered with dirt, dust and bird droppings. Geoff and I fixed then and after some perseverance they are completed and Finally functional. For the paint I used a black satin and a vanilla pudding yellow. The paints were discount Oops paints that you can find at home depot. (returned paints). Great option when your trying to save money!! Anyway the bedroom is still in the works. Can’t wait to find the wrought iron bed frame of my dreams to tie in the whole theme of the bedroom! To be continued…

This wall paper is inside my neighbor’s kitchen. I just thought it was so cool. She said that the wallpaper is so old it is new again. Yes it is! I thought it was a good color palette to reference for something and I also enjoy the little owl key ring holder.

more paint chips + canadian interiors

I found this image on design sponge and I love the whole concept. I’m seeing ideas of old PMS chips or sheets from outdated PMS books. Very interesting! You can see the full story here.
