shades of blue & red

So Wyatt is out-growing his baby room.  We recently gave our glider and ottoman to Chris’ cousin (so glad I wasn’t home when they got it.  I am so emotionally tied to the chair where I nursed my babies!), he is ready for a big boy bed, and his soiled rug has got to go.  Life and homes are always changing, aren’t they?

I inherited a red Persian one (like the one below) when I married Chris.  I am really not a red person, but it has been growing on me.  (Mainly because it has to grow on me.  Of course he is much happier when I use something we have in the basement instead of buying new.)  There are blue panels in Wyatt’s room with burlap roman shades which will stay….I think I can make the blue & red work.

And here are images that are inspiring my blue & red pairing:

Who knew I would ever be liking red & blue?

And for a little more blue–

The carriage sconce just got installed in our clients’ bath:

We are so in love with these sconces!  Totally Anisa’s idea to do one off-set one.  Dig that.

(I know it is missing the mirror)

And what about these rope pulls?

They are Sibella Court for Anthropologie.  Don’t you love her?

Have a beautiful weekend…..Julie

If anyone ever found my phone and flipped through the pictures, they would probably know everything about my life.  My recent photos are telling:

fabric swatches for some Lee purchases…

 

pictures of antiques we later use on a design board…

 

We feel that no project can be complete with at least some unique accessories from Anthro…

 

And our newest member of the M&HH team, Karen.  She makes spreadsheets look like art.  We could never do what she does and she makes our lives easier and better!!  (Oh, and you like our office?  a la Starbucks.)

 

The cutest astronaut his mama has ever seen…

 

paint for sample boards (BM Mill Springs Blue and BM Graphite)

 

The blue is for this.  Are we totally copying this idea from Domino?  Yes.

 

My phone is also filled with tons of pictures I can share with Daniel, our contractor, like this one of a tiled hood.  Although he is not too happy with us because we want him to tile a hood in this pattern:

 

but with 2″ x 8″ Walker Zanger tiles.  I know he can do it….he always does, but he thinks we are a little crazy (which we totally are)

 

Wish us luck with this old pine hutch.  We hope it will turn into Domino-fabulousness.

Hope you’re having a great week.  I know this is rambling, but it’s the best I can pull out right now….

xo,

Julie
