Yes I am still here!

I will be posting up a proper blog post soon I promise!
Until then I guess you'll just have to check out these pictures of living room ideas I have.
I wan't going to really do anything to this place that we are renting right now, but we will be here for a while so I thought I would go a head and do it.
Mind you these are dream ideas!
right now we have these bulky dark red leather couches and 2 lazy boys.
I went looking around for ideas and came up with these pieces.

I couldn't have a whole room in black and white. My husband and I are people who love color and who need the feel of warmth in a room. 
Here is an idea board for our one-day-master bedroom


 the mirror thing is an idea we are working on for a head board.

Let me know what you think!

Google+

I have invites for those who want to join the field trial of Google+. For those who haven't heard yet Google+ is a social networking site that may be better (I say maybe because I just got it and from what I hear it is better). It is based around security and privacy of you and your friends.
For more information, you can check out their site here.
if you want an invite, comment bellow.

Second Hand shopping!

I love shopping in second hand! I use to go just for the clothing and for the books, but since I have started reading different blogs on interior designing I have been inspired to see things in a different light.
So, I went shopping today and we stopped in at our local Salvation Army store, and I saw several things that caught my fancy.


There were three of them and I thought how cute these would be as vases or as milk/juice pitchers for the table. kind of like this.


cool huh.



I also found these pretty little pillows with a Victorian print on the front and the back was in navy blue with navy blue cord on the edges. so sweet!


I thought this coffee table would be really nice in like a white, black or an antique green


You can't see the designs very clearly but I thought this would be great painted white.


I was thinking paint this a different color or stain it and put different hardware on it.

I didn't buy any of it because I didn't know where I would put it, and I am limited on kitchen storage, the pillows wouldn't go with what we have right now and I feel limited on what I can really do to this house because we are renting. Oh well it was nice to look around. If I would buy stuff like this and redo some of the stuff would anyone buy it from me?

Well I had fun discovering all these treasures. 
Hopefully I will be posting next about my love for all things black and white!


Blessings!
