I often hear of people who are nervous about mixing colors and tones. I'm no professional, but I mix them all of the time. I have browns, tans, grays, blacks, neutrals. I feel like it all comes together quite nicely.
That big clock I found on the classifieds for $20 because it didn't work. It just needed a new clock mechanism and my handy husband fixed it right up.
My family picture canvas is probably my favorite piece of decor that I have in my home. I print a giant canvas every year after family pictures, there are several companies I have used like canvaschamp, canvasondemand, etc. Love it!
This picture has already appeared in my piano post, but here it is again. I found that old barn door at an antique shop here locally. I probably spent too much on it but I had to have it. It's the perfect backdrop for all of my decor. I whipped up a coffee filter wreath to add do it, and the fabric on the piano gives a nice finished look.
Notice the coat closet? I LOVE that open coat closet. When we were showing our house I had people ask me if we still had the door. No! Don't add a door, that defeats the purpose.
It was your typical style coat closet when we moved in, complete with one upper rack for coats and a shelf above the rack. It didn't have anything going for it.
We took out the hooks, the shelf and took off the door. We added blue pine cut to length, which you can get at home depot for something like $4 for an 8 foot piece. I don't paint it, or finish it or anything, I just hang it up raw.
Then I added the hooks, the upper hooks are super heavy duty hooks I found on Amazon, and the lower hooks are a little bit smaller for easier kid use. I also added a few tiny bathrobe type hooks for key holders.
At the bottom of the closet I had a big wash bin to hold gloves, hats, dog leashes, all of the knick knacks that come along.
I am a huge believer in organization and because this closet was open and easy to use, my kids used it.
