Random Decorating Updates

November 9, 2009 by Amy

Another IKEA trip means a few pictures are in order.

We bought some of these wire rack thingies and thought the playroom was a great place to display the kids’ art.

I love the face on that guy on the bottom left.  The second row, second picture looks like a butterfly to me but it’s just random painting by Lexi.  Top row, far right is one of my favorite family pictures Emma did to date.  She has us all labeled, even our dog.

Close-up of the wire.  Please ignore the crayon on the wall.  I like to think the creativity is just spilling over right onto the room.  Yes, Mom, I”ll get a Magic Eraser right on that.

Finally got a frame for their picture.

This is not actually from IKEA but Southern Living. I took all of our pictures where we were eating/out to eat and put them on the pantry door.  The funny thing is I showed Scott, not letting him in on that fact and he says, “Wow, they sure do like to eat.”

The only change in our bedroom are the picture accent lights.  I turned these on last night right after dark and loved walking by and seeing it!  It was so inviting!

We have some more shelves we bought for our bathroom but they haven’t gone up yet.  Always something to do!

On another note, we went to the lighting store to finally get pendant lights for the kitchen, sconces for the living room and a light for my office and the lady was absolutely no help.  And in fact, almost rude. So still no movement there. 

Oh and one more note, Sally who started this whole renovation thing is back at my Mom’s shop for a class tomorrow night!  I would love to show her all the stuff we’ve done.  And if you’re in the area, come check it out.  It’s $20 and all proceeds go to charity.

    The rooms look great Amy!

    I have some of the art lights in my house and I have them on timers. That way they are always on when I want them to be.
