It dawned on me during these conversations yesterday that the only picture I posted of the den with the current paint color is a picture from two years ago and things have changed a bit! Here's how the space looks now, from the hallway.
Don't judge me for lack of pictures on the walls- there were some but we took them off to hang Jodi's lovely gifts and then decided to put a hold on that until we move everything around.
Anywho, a bit of a change from the picture I shared yesterday. Here's a better shot of the beast that we're switching Kim for:
I spent a good half day last month organizing this mother and it's still packed to the guills! Everything on here is stuff we use though as I am NOT (!!!) a fan of keeping stuff around just for kicks. Not real sure how I'm going to go from this current shelf of 25 cubes to Kim's of 16... I was kicking some ideas around in my head last night and I think I may move all of my graduate school books to a bookshelf in the living room and find a fun way to display the cookbooks in the China cabinet that we're being given by my mom this month as she prepares to move into a smaller house. Am I the only person on Earth who doesn't like cookbooks in the kitchen? I know, it really makes no sense! I just love my counterspace too much to fill it up with books.
The color scheme I've been going with in this room is made of purples, blues and greens. A few months ago I sewed some pillows using Art Gallery and Tula Pink fabrics and recently added in a couple coordinating guys from IKEA.
I'm pretty averse to things being matchy-matchy but I think this combination works.
SO, that's why I was orginally thinking of a light blue for the new sewing nook.
Because less is more, right? Well, then I saw this guy on Pinterest-
Daggonit, that's cute! My nook will be completely different the one above but that purple may just be ringing my bell a bit.
But now I'm so confused! What would look best- do I go big or go home?
Or go for calming and subtle?
For the love of cheese fries, help a girl out!
Go big!
