I’m going to start from my yard and work from back to front. That’s where I think I can make the most progress and see a big return on investment, time-wise.
Here is the concept for my workshop. This is a rough draft and will be modified about one million times.
I’m still looking for that golden moment of inspiration. The idea that will truly give me the vision for what steps I should take to finish remodeling my house. Many of my first choices were hastily made and now I’m feeling a bit of remorse. More recently I’ve been taking my time and really trying to implement what I’m envisioning but it’s proving harder than I thought it would be. I guess this will be one of those things that is forever a work in progress. I had a five year plan to have my home up to my standards but clearly it will take longer. Until then I’ll refine certain concepts over time and hope that things work out. I guess these are some starting points:
It usually takes me a long time to make a decision on purchasing things for our home. I’ve been looking at a lot of different types of rugs and was pretty close, a couple of times, on pulling the trigger on a Popcows cowhide rug. I ended up stumbling across Picked by Hand. Their prices seemed very reasonable and, while their selection was small, I found something I liked.
I ended up ordering a 6’x8’ Rayas Rug to go in between our sofa and armchairs. So far I’ve managed to keep everything in the house very muted in color since I had planned to be very selective about how I introduced color into the decor. I really hope this works out the way I planned it. Only time will tell… we’ve got to wait about 4 weeks before getting the rug delivered. Now if only I could decide on which houseplants to get….
The Flip Table was recently featured on two of my favorite blogs, Apartment Therapy and Trehugger, and I have to agree with all the positive things said about the whole concept. This is truly an example of great design. Rather than harp on what it does or what it is, I’ll let the images below speak for themselves. Also, check out the links.
