Labeling this as Part 1 because should time and finances permit, I hope that there are more to come. I mentioned in the last post that we are still gradually unpacking, so I guess it's a bit odd that I've done some decorating but it's been a nice break for me. I spend most of my days doing dishes, laundry, picking up and chasing after little ones and then unpack a box here and there so occasionally it's nice to break the cycle and do a little something for me with the added bonus of making our new home look nice.
For the most part decorating has barely begun. Thankfully the house was move in ready in a sense that we liked the paint in all rooms but one so that has saved us some time, but we haven't hung much on the walls because I don't quite have a clear plan of where I want everything to go.
Here's what I've done with the kitchen:
The yarn wrapped 'K' was on the wall at our apartment and I have a previous post about it. I just made the hoop art. Took these photos at night so the lighting was a bit wonky with my camera (yea, I still haven't quite figured out how to work my fancy camera), but anyway, the walls in the kitchen are a nice Windsor/Navy blue. All of my kitchen decor from the apartment are red, like my coffee maker, utensils, kitchen towels, table runner etc. All red. So I wanted to find some fabric for my hoop art that would look good with the blue and incorporate the red-- there's a red fabric with white polka dots and then a red fabric that has a blue and beige floral pattern. Then the darker fabric is actually black with a beige floral pattern, all of our appliances are black. I like it!
And here's another little thing I hung by our front door in the foyer, a gift from my Mom:
It reads "Sworn to serve and protect"-- so cute!
And of course new house warrants a new yarn wreath, so here's what I came up with for that:
Mustard yellow, royal blue and beige. It really pops on the brown door. And it's huge! Much bigger than the yarn wreath I had previously made and posted about.
