Upstairs Bathroom

by Kristen on May 8, 2012

Over the past couple of months I have been sharing photos of my home.  Today I am sharing photos of our upstairs bathroom.

The pros: Two words- beautiful claw foot tub!   Also, the room is supre bright.

The cons: Totally bland.  Where does one hang a mirror?  Right now I have a cheap one sitting on a stool behind the door.  No shower in sight.  It is a damn good thing we have another bathroom on the main floor.

Design suggestions are welcome.  I have no grand vision for this room.  WHat do you think would look good?

More new bedding!

by Kristen on May 7, 2012

Over the past few weeks I’ve been feeling like I decorated myself into a corner.  I kept asking what to do with a floral bed and bright blue walls.  The first set of bedding I bought was too white and sparse.  I wanted something really neutral but it just didn’t work.

So I stripped the bed and got a new set of sheets and they look a million times better.  I really like the green accent on the duvet cover.  It ties in nicely with the bed upholstery and the green crystal knobs.

Here is a closer look:

April 30, 2012

After a long hiatus, I’m back!!  Things are good here, I’ve just have not been in the mood to blog.  It was nice to take a few weeks off and not think about the blog.  I’ve been knitting, going to the gym, cooking without taking pictures, and chilling in front of the tv. We have [...]

This weekend we bought new bedding.  It is white with a tiny bit of blue embroidery.  While it looks better than the old brown stuff, I am not totally sold. I am wondering if it is too white.  I will think about it for a couple of days.  It can always go on the spare [...]

Pictures from a Magazine

March 28, 2012

When you were a teenager did you used to cover your walls with pictures from magazines?  I did.  In junior high I used to cut out black and white Calvin Klein ads and hang them up on my walls.  I got the idea for my older, cooler cousins Jackie and Christine.  On the weekend, I [...]

Another week and another Food Matters Project.  This week’s recipe, Coq au Vin,  was chosen by Evi and Sam over at Fifth Floor KItchen. Coq au Vin seems like the perfect Sunday night meal.  Especially here in Calgary where Sunday was a cool and windy day.  While the dish turned out well, I have to say it is not [...]
