Decorating with Ocean Colors
I'm seven months into my new home and I now feel like my family room is coming together. I'm so so so into blues, greens, whites, and grays. They are the most relaxing, beautiful colors in the world to me. The colors of the ocean!
All of our walls are a white/cream color so I'm really glad we got brave and painted an accent wall. The wall color is called "Spa" by Sherwin Williams. I highly recommend this color!
The bookshelf is a refinished hand-me-down from my grandmother. This baby made me really grateful for my power sander! Even with that tool it took many hours to sand and paint. It looks white against the blue wall, but it actually has some blue tint in it.
And, I've already written about my love of houseplants. I asked for plants for mother's day and birthday gifts this year and I'm really glad I did. They liven up any space.
A Look at my Sketchbook
While I was out photographing red cactus blooms last week I also took the opportunity to paint them. I love painting outdoors, but doing so while sitting on jagged rocks is challenging.
After the blossoms were done, I moved to a better seat with a view of the lake and mountains. Here's my quick watercolor landscape sketch!
A House of Plants
These are the little beauties in my house right now.........................
I have a little garden growing on my kitchen table. Some plants are potted, some flowers were found outside in the hills, and some were given to me for mother's day. I love having living things in my house...............including people :)
Are you a fan of indoor plants? I love em' just about anywhere- indoors or out!
Photos of the Week
The weather was awesome last week so I'm back with more lake photos!
This time I caught a few birds too.
I feel so blessed to live in this beautiful place. It's a gift that heals my soul. I can't feel sad when I'm looking at this lake, listening to the birds and feeling the warm sun on my face. I can't help but feel overwhelmed at the goodness of a God who lets us have challenges, but who also desires our happiness above all else.
