Peaceful Room Window Treatment 16 hours ago

This window faces west. It is excruciating in the summer, so I have always left the blinds closed, but that makes the room dark. Plus, with the blinds closed all the time, spiders find their way between there.

OK, nevermind that I’ve lived here for 13 years and never decided to do anything about my favorite room always being dark in the daytime. I finally did something about it today. The fabric is actually quite sheer, although it looks more solid in the night time photo.

The little clear shelves are just 97¢ stackable baskets from WalMart, but since they are clear, they don’t weigh down the corner aesthetically while still accenting the depth of the window sill.

All this time, I have been letting things pass around here, but finally! I am making my own mark on this house and I like it. It’s so wecoming and cozy now. :)

The Peaceful Room front corner 16 hours ago

This has endlessly been a problem area in the house. That table is actually my daughter’s “hope chest” and books get stacked on it all the time. Well, not anymore!

I got a bunch of bitty little stacking baskets that are clear and put the small books in a couple of those. The rest are put away out of the room. I even got a set of plastic drawers for all the tutoring supplies, so now the coffee table cabinet isn’t full of folders and school supplies, and the end of the couch there has no more timed-reading stories on it. YAY!

Been working on the designs... 1 day ago

... to paint on the little chest of drawers. There are 15 of them, in 5 little compartments. Each compartment has two dividers on each side, but only one in the back. That has given me a design challenge. I do want it to look eclectic, because my jewelry collection is, but I don’t want it to become a jumble of patterns fighting each other for attention.

It’ll be another month or so before I will really get a chance to work on it. By then I should have the designs all figured out and it will go together beautifully. I’ll post a picture when it’s done. :)
