Framed

Our home décor tastes are pretty simple here at the Y house.  We tend to go for earth tones and solids, maybe with some textures and a few patterns thrown in for fun.  Of course we do have a purple wall.  Like they say, the exception proves the rule!  Also, we don’t change things up much.  Once we find something we like, we stick with it.  There are a few larger projects we would like to undertake someday (New kitchen floor?  Yes, please!) but, these things can wait. 

Recently, I have found that I have a weakness for craft and home décor blogs.  I love to look at fun ideas and ways to repurpose items, but most of the time I think “that’s nice but I would get tired of it and then I would have to change it again, so what’s the point?”  I’ve decided we need to embrace change in one small little space!  I created a frame that will change with the seasons/holidays/time of year/my general mood.  So many blogs offer free “printables” that you can well, print and use for free J  So, I found an old brown frame lying around the house and decided to spruce it up and use that to change things up.  My original plan was to paint it black or sliver.  But I couldn’t find either of those in the paint cabinet.  I know we used to have both colors – I have a black mirror frame and silver shelf as proof – but I can’t find either of them now.  Alas, I was left to choose from dark green, blue, brown, and white.  After 24 hours of indecision I consulted with Captain Y and went with blue.  Is that really a surprise?  It’s both of our favorite color.  A couple coats of paint later, this is now sitting in the living room with a Valentine’s Day theme print. 

My plan is to post a new photo every time I change up the contents of the frame.  Now we’ll see how often I manage to change up the frame and post about it!
