Where is all this cool furniture??

[ Posted by krista Wed, 29 Aug 2007 13:57:17 GMT ]

I have a bone to pick! I am disappointed in our local furnitre stores. It seems that everyone around our area (within comfortable driving distance and delivery range) decorates their houses in country motif! I am sick of it! also we have a rash of people who do classic, victorian and other things you would find out in the middle of nowhere. So when it comes time for me to decorate i cannot find anything! I love ikea. but it is all the way in Canton, MI. Eq3 is all the way in Grand Rapids. And so either i pay through the nose for delivery or just as much to borrow or rent a truck and get it myself. I have tried to get EQ3 from Art van but they Botched the entire sale and now i do not recommend them to anyone because the sales person was not well informed on the product and we did not get what we want and it took them 10 months to resolve our issue!

I have also been angry at a lot of dealers, makers and what-not. What is with the idea that contemporary means black? can't you make it is light colors too?? When you decide you want something contemporary from one of those wal mart or target finds they are in either black or espresso. What about white? what about light maple?? Blond pine?? anything. 

Just because it is temporary they make it dark but that throws off my Qi. I cannot do dark colors and sharp corners, too drastic. I like light airy things but shapr and crisp.

So now i have found  some things on the net but nowhere in the state to get them. *sigh*

Simplicity people!

[ Posted by krista Mon, 20 Aug 2007 14:52:11 GMT ]

I have been a big fan of Keeping things simple. I believe a table is to eat off of, needs to be a top with legs nothing special. We need to get away from the intricate things and get back to basics! How many people have bought a couch that has so many little puckers and curves and so on where you pay 1000's of dollars for and it goes out of style in a few years?

JUST STOP IT NOW!

I love simple. less clutter.

I am in love with this couch from Jasper Morrison LTD. I am not sure about prices for their stuff but click around on their site. Nice clean designs. Nice simple work.

Window treatment ideas.

[ Posted by krista Fri, 17 Aug 2007 16:29:56 GMT ]

My friend April just gave me a juicy lead on some cute window treatment solutions. She has issues with a specific window in her house due to size and how it is hard to fit curtains for, at least with store bought..

She pointed me to diyideas.com

There is a small section on window treatments which also include one that is cheap and easy !!!

 

who would have thought of this? i think this is great because it saves you 5-50$ in a unique style curtain rod

My Dining Room Table

[ Posted by krista Wed, 15 Aug 2007 14:52:53 GMT ]


 Here are Pictures from my dining room I fell in love with the EQ3 line of furniture for it location, price, and look .  But this is an unusual piece because we have frosted glass in  it  instead of the black glass it comes with which did not look good in the room. I like the bright and natural looks. It helps with winter blues when they come and helps you wake up in the morning when the sun is out. Now (as in the normal snail pace) i will have this room decorated. I would like to finish the wall hanging soon (pictured on the left wall)  but i think i will put that in the bedroom and then fill that entire wall with white cubby shelving to fill with picture frames and plants. Then we need a frosted glass contemporary light fixture.  And i need the right rug for the area. But i do not want to put money into it because i have two boys and one is an infant and the other is just destructive unknowingly. 

 

 ITS ALL STARTING TO COME TOGETHER!

This gets a rating of NIFTY!

[ Posted by krista Mon, 13 Aug 2007 14:35:48 GMT ]

I am definatly on the track of decorating my entire house with plants. not only am I a collector, but i am a person who loves the calming effects that the green has and the uplifting feel of gardening indoors during the depressing winter when I get depressed when I can't get my hands dirty outdoors. I have 15 well established plants indoors in different planters and looking to just branch out soon.

But I fell in love with this planter I found online. I will  eventually need it having filled every ledge, corner, and leftover counterspace with plants.
