Wood plant stand, good quality, $10...SOLD! I snatched it up and skipped home. My plan was already in mind. Metallic gold. I'm always wanting to add metallic pieces to my house. Built in 1921, it's full of character and dark wood. I've added bold colors throughout with the perfect amount of neutrals to balance it all...and anything metallic gives it that extra glam factor.

Oh man, it's happening! The studio is in progress! (This is for the attic studio I've mentioned several times) Yes, this is long over due but I NEED to get organized. Somehow, living in a big house by yourself a studio can take over the whole home...art & design stuff has found itself in every room. Ridiculous, I know. But NOW, I will have a defined space for design.

Thanks to Home Goods, I've picked up gorgeous colorful striped baskets in varying sizes. Perfect for adding simple pattern and bright pops of color. I also found round colorful braided rugs which I will layer in the main gathering area. To organize the beads, I picked up tins with clear lids and added magnets on the back. I've ordered metal wall boards so the tins can hang on the wall (out of the way) and be clearly seen. 

This year I got a new white Christmas tree. It's gorgeous with all the colorful ornaments! All the bright colors pop! I wanted some more big pieces for my tree in the colors of my living room so I made a bunch of Poms to place on it. Best idea ever. It's Inexpensive while adding texture...makes a statement, that's for sure!
