Design on a Dime

Yesterday I got an email that inspired me. If you can call me (ever) inspired. It had pictures of several breakfast nooks that ranged from hideous to breathtaking. Scrolling through I decided that it is high time to pull some things together in my house. Where we have lived for 3 years. Starting with my eat-in area.

Here is a horrible pic of what I accomplished yesterday. I found & hung the curtains and painted an old mirror. I've since re-arranged and added a couple of things, but you'll get the idea:
(Note: please ignore the plastic packaging filling in for curtain tie-backs. They were handy.)My "inspiration":I've had these pillows and place mats for several years, wanting to use the green and aqua in my kitchen. High time, right? The pictures really are horrid.
I love how it looks. It's me.
That's what I want in my house. Color. Things that I love.

Very nice! Looks like it's the finished product off of an actual TV show.
