They motivated me to do something I have wanted to do for a long time--identify the clothes I don't wear and remove them from my closet. My closet was mostly full of clothes I have to lose weight to fit in and items needing some kind of tweaking (as in sewing). This daily reminder of not being the size I want to be was just too depressing. Time to purge! (Bear with me--there is a redo!) I decided to document the event:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I gave myself a 40 minute time limit, which did not allow for trying stuff on or eenie meenie miney mo, or anything! Here is the result:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Seven bags of clothes, and later I added a bag of shoes and purses! All got donated!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">After seeing the photo I took of my closet, I was pretty horrified! What a mess! Now that a third of the contents was gone, I decided it was time for a quick redo! I headed to Michael's and Bed Bath & Beyond, coupons clutched in hand. Here is the result:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Now, I smile when I walk into my closet! All it needed was some baskets and new hangers. I chose black for it's ability to disappear. The hangers are the flocked kind and don't leave little points sticking out the shoulder of all my shirts. You can buy them in bulk (packs of 50, seen </span><a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/real-simple-reg-slimline-50-count-flocked-suit-hangers/3242505?Keyword=hangers"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">) and in several styles. I bought the suit ones, because you can hang either a shirt or pants or both on the same hanger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The baskets came from Michael's. I have purses and hats in mine, but if you intend to use it for sweaters or lingerie, make sure you get a material that won't snag. These are made from a cloth webbing.</span><br />

I'm quite obsessed with that shape, and it's very trendy right now. I found one with a black frame at Hobby Lobby, and at half off, I could feel good about my purchase. Which I did, until I saw one I liked even better at Kohl's. I'm sure this has happened to you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Priced much higher, the one at Kohl's had a beautiful oil-rubbed bronze finish. I got a good look at it, and headed out to find some spray paint. I'll walk you through what I did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">After the spraying is done and the paint dries (it only takes an hour), I put paint in one section of my tray, and filled the center with water. Load a small amount of paint on the sponge brush, and dilute with water. You can test it out on some paper towel. The trick is to go along each edge (and <em>only</em> the edge), adding a small line of paint. Have a paper towel ready to wipe off any areas that get too much paint. You are really looking for a subtle effect.</span></div>

It was just 8' x 10' with some odd cut-outs and a door giving access to the furnace and water heater. It was empty except for a large mirror. We have no idea how the sellers used it. Mr. Wonderful looked at me. "What are you going to do with this room?"</span><br />

Mr. Wonderful will tell you I'm a little obsessed with brown right now. I find it very calming...and well, earthy! I thought the dark wood of my kitchen table would work best, so this is my first tablescape in my new kitchen. I am so anxious to get those white walls painted!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Hello everyone! I am no longer MIA!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Please note:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This is the first tablescape I have done since February.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This is the first tablescape I have done in my new house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This is the first tablescape I have done with this table.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This is the first tablescape I have ever done in a basement!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So, the theme is apples. As I looked back at the photos, I noticed that the walls, table and chairs, and carpet are very close in color. And, the table has a glass top. To me, it looks like my tablescape is kind of floating. See if you agree.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So, T is for Tired because I've spent the last few months getting moved into our new home. To give you an idea of the magnitude, my dishes alone filled 22 boxes. The stemware was another 11 boxes. That doesn't include the three sets of china I own. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I bought the table and chairs in this week's post, so I would have a table to set in the basement, just steps away from my "dish room." I plan on painting them, and eventually the basement walls will get color, too.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I knew Valentine's Day was not my favorite holiday. But, a few weeks ago, I turned to go down the seasonal aisle at my grocery store, and I actually shuddered at the sight of all the red and pink Valentine items. Someday, I'll figure out where that comes from. And, I've never celebrated Mardi Gras, though I have been known to give up chocolate for Lent. So, here is a plain old ordinary tablescape. The inspiration came from the napkins, which were purchased on clearance at Target.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I hope you enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">On my birthday, Mr. Wonderful came home with a dozen roses for me. It turned out, these particular roses are called Hot Lady. I thought they were appropriate for me because, well, I'm hot ninety percent of each day. But, I'm sure the name refers to the "hot" pink color. Anyway, these roses were the inspiration for my tablescape.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of thrifting with <a href="http://kathewithane.com/">Kathe with an E</a>. We visited a Goodwill store I had never been to, and boy, were we impressed! It looked like a department store!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">One of my finds was a pet bed. It was in good shape, and I swear it had never been used. I paid less than $4.</span><br />

Our home is a brick bungalow, built in 1953. My husband owned this house when I met him, and since I fell in love with everything about him, I love this house, too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">When I first saw this bathroom, I admit I thought it had it's charm. I wasn't crazy about the blue bath tub and sink (different blues, of course) but I thought the tile was pretty. </span><br />

Anyway, it took me awhile to get back in the swing of things, so "kickstart" is just a nicer way of saying kick in the a**.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Quick story--I bought these napkins last spring at Tuesday Morning, but they only had two. I checked their other stores and no luck. Last week I found the matching tablecloth at Burlington Coat Factory. I bought it, thinking I would cut it down to a square and make two napkins from the leftover fabric. What I didn't know was the pattern was only on the border, so I had to cut out the middle of it. Next time, I am taking the item I'm considering OUT of the package in the store. If it isn't what I want, I'll just stuff it back in the package inside out like everybody else does. Just kidding. I'm too OCD to do that.</span></div>

I'm blaming everything on our bathroom remodel. It's the smallest room in the house, but it turned our whole world upside down. How will we ever survive getting the kitchen done? </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">On with the introduction! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Kristie is a lover of all things French, and after my journey through her blog, I am now convinced there is a little bit of France in Texas! Her blog is full of stunning images and her upbeat spirit will put a smile on your face. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">"I love to write on a variety of topics so I can't say that this blog is about one thing. It's about a lot of issues. Social, travel, architecture, beauty, art, friends...you see, lots of topics.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I like to try to write at least twice sometimes three times a week and you never know what I will decide to write about. Sometimes, I don't even know myself until the day I write."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, be sure to check out her Etsy shop <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kfranklin12?ref=em">La petite boutique de perles</a> where you will find some beautiful French inspired items!</span></span></span></div>

For this project, I am creating the first of many accessories. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My daughter loves animals as much as I do. She has two pets--a very large black cat she adopted from a shelter as a kitten, and a three-legged cattle dog mix (also a rescue animal). I found this little wooden block with a very sweet sentiment ($5 at Gordman's) and will use it on a shelf. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I wanted something to reflect her cat, so I checked out these cat pillows at </span><a href="http://www.cafepress.com/+cat+pillows"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">cafepress</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">. They are very cute, but $20 plus shipping was more than we wanted to spend.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I did some research on iron-on transfers, and settled on this one, which uses an inkjet printer to print directly on fabric. It comes with three sheets, at a cost per sheet of just over $1.</span></div>

I guess there are some home parades in other states that don't allow photos to be taken. Thank goodness, we don't have that rule! I love nothing more than <strike>stealing</strike> borrowing new ideas in decorating!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">NOTE: I need to mention that these photos are not my best. Even though it was a very sunny day, most rooms photographed very dark. In lightening them up for you to see, some quality was definitely lost.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I hope you enjoy!</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Here is the first dining room I'll share with you. Very pretty shades of tans and creams with touches of purple.</span><br />

Last week, in case you missed it, I made pillows for her sofa and love seat. If you would like to see it, there will be a link at the end of this post. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Thank you for joining me on this decorating adventure!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I decided to look for a hall tree for her entry. Originally, I wanted a wooden one with a bench, but they were too wide for the space. I found a wrought iron one on craigslist (bought from Pier One) and it was just the right size (and a lot cheaper).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">As you can see, it doesn't have a cushion, so I decided to make one. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I am not even close to being a DIY expert, so I checked out a few blogs and videos on how to make a cushion. The one that helped me the most was <a href="http://sewwoodsy.com/2012/04/part-2-how-to-upholster-a-bench-cushion-tufting.html">sewwoodsy.</a> Here is what the project looked like when I got started.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Now, I am really good at taking something simple and making it difficult. This project was no exception. I decided to add tufting...and fabric covered buttons.</span><br />

For me, it's a wonderful source of design ideas and I always take my camera. I really love purple, and I especially love it paired with green. Imagine my delight, when the very first home we toured was ALL purple and green!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I always like to start in the dining room to see the tablescape the designer put together. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I thought this dark dining room set was perfect for a punch of purple. I wouldn't mind owning a set of those green croc placemats!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My daughter moved into a new apartment and asked for my help with decorating it. I have many projects planned, and will share them as I go along. When I'm finished, I will post the reveal! But until then, one project at a time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">A few weeks ago I created a tablescape inspired by the fabric I used as a table topper. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Today will be the 53rd day at or above 90 for the Denver area. It's been the hottest June and July on record, and since we aren't getting a break in the weather, I need to create my own cold front.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I went back into the Creating Wonderful Spaces archives, and I am featuring the coolest of my past tablescapes.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I hope it gives you a chill!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">There are a few things I like about it. I like the "letters" theme and the use of white mats. Also, the way the pictures are hung in columns. But, I wanted to use only letters that mean something to me, and pictures that have some significance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Over the last couple of years, I have purchased a few large letters. It's amazing how many times the only letter on the clearance shelves at stores was E. I took it as a sign that I was supposed to own them. Then, after I got married a year ago, I would run across a G or two (my new last initial) so I purchased those, too. I wanted to incorporate them into my gallery. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Off I went to Goodwill to buy frames. I wanted to use black, white, and gold frames and use white mats only. I did wind up painting a few of the frames, and two of the letters. For five frames (I used two I already had) I paid less than $10. Add paint and mats, and the whole project cost less than $20!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This was definitely not the week for an outdoor table, so I put this tablescape together in the comfort of my air-conditioned home! But, I did use my outdoor dishes. The set my sister gave me as a wedding gift last year. I used them in my very first EVER tablescape! You can see them <a href="http://creatingwonderfulspaces.blogspot.com/2011/09/red-ed-bliss.html">here.</a> The only thing I would add (if I could) would be Robin and her husband, in person, sitting at this table!</span><br />
