Dumping Some Thoughts

I have been pondering about my next project I will tackle in our home.  I have been busy working, wedding planning(headache) and working on some art, so the home DIY stuff has kinda taken the back burner for the last couple weeks.  Although, my brain has been working over time on what I want to do with the 2nd guest room.  This room will be my art space/storage room/office, so I am pretty stoked for this one.  I have yet to start anything in this room, so I thought I would spill out some of my ideas and why not share with you right?

While I have been daydreaming about this room I have considered many colors that I may put on the walls.  I am thinking something like this…

Violet-Swatch-550x135

Probably more a or c, not so much d.

purple gray

Maybe something like this, colorwise, ignore the fact that this is a bedroom.

purple

Or something like this, obviously I realize this is a nursery, just check out the wall color. I want something purplish-grayish with maybe a little hint of pink, but super close to white. Make sense? Well, it does to me!

Here are some office desks that I am diggin…

I am in love with everything going on in this photo.  I am obsessed with this desk. I am also loving the stacked baskets.

office6

This desk is calling my name.

I am also thinking I want to have some kind of gallery wall going on, maybe like this…

office4

or this…

office2

I love the different frames and the placement.

I also would like to have some shelving above my desk.  I am thinking this…

office5

I love these thin floating shelves in white!  I am also all about these shelves as well…

So that’s where I am at with the guest room plans.  Hope you enjoyed my brain dump!

Decorating the Laundry Room

All that was left in the laundry room was my favorite part… decorating! I had some empty shelves and walls to fill, so off I went to homegoods.  I came home with some good finds too!

I first found these baskets, I knew I needed some kind of baskets to put my detergent and fabric softener in.  These do the job great.

I also picked up this…

a tinted teal glass jug and

some clothes pins.  I thought they were appropriate in a laundry room.  So I popped them right inside the jug like so…

And you get this…

I also picked up a cute little white ceramic bird that I thought would be cute on the shelf.  I then had this…

I needed one more thing to complete the top shelf, so I began searching the house.

I came up with this…

I wasn’t sold. Next up…

a framed bulletin board.  Didn’t love the look of that either.  Then I tried this…

And I had a winner!  Last thing I had in mind was hanging something on the bare wall next to the garage door.  I looked through what we had and decided on this…

It is a print Justin had plaqued for me from a Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds concert we went to in Canandaigua, NY.  We sat front row! It was amazing.

See! We coulda touched him!  Anyway, I asked Justin to hang it in the laundry room and it looks great.

That is the last of my decorating for now…
