Painted Doors

When it comes to home decor there are many different ideas and designs that I absolutely love. One of my very favorites, however, has got to be painted doors. I'm not exactly sure why, but there is just something so fun and happy about a door that has a bit of color on it. It might sound weird, but having one in your home almost automatically makes me want to be your friend.

Here are a few examples of some painted doors that I find particularly wonderful. One day I will have a home of my own and that home will have the worlds cutest door. Just you wait.

         

         

               

           

I love how they used vinyl to add their house number to the front of the door on this one. Such a cute idea!

Getting Ready to Decorate!

Picking out Paint and Furniture  . . . .

Initially I wanted a medium to dark grey (on the colder side of grey) with a start white trim for the paint in our house.  That is until I was looking for furniture and found this . . . .

I had seen some other couch styles that I really loved, but they are all linens and velvets, and with 4 kids 6 and younger - I didn't think that was a real great idea!  And then I found this beauty above - Leather, Pintucked and Gorgy Color!!!

So I had to rethink my paint colors - Now I need a Greige - thanks pinterest!

Can't decide if I want to go light or a medium tone.  The wood floors will be a dark grey wash and furniture in the medium range with creamy white kitchen cabinets.  Do I dare a dark paint color or will it be too dark???  The cabinets would look fantastic popping against the dark wall though!

Anyway . . .
Here is what I have compiled so far for the Great Room Furniture.

As you can see - I need helping deciding on what rug color to go with.  The white rug would look amazing against the floors, the grey was what I was originally thinking and the blue would give a subtle pop of color - too many decisions!! But at least their fun ones ;)

All About the Pink

Pink is a color that I've always been a little afraid to incorporate into my decor. These examples, however, do a lovely job of it.

Brick Walls

I absolutely love exposed brick wall backdrops for bedrooms. Is that enough b's for you? Here are a couple that I adore:

This Nursery

Okay, so this has got to be one of the cutest nurseries I've ever seen. Here at Janey Mac, we could even substitute one of our adorable trees to make our own version.

Fridges Galore

Have we all forgotten the one thing that the 70's got right? Colored fridges are pretty much the cutest way to brighten up your kitchen. Take a look at all of my favorites:

If you tell me that you don't want this, you're lying.

Pastel isn't the only way to go!

It hurts to look at your stainless steel refrigerator, doesn't it? I'll ease my pain by spending a couple more hours daydreaming about them.

When Yellow Met Grey

I saw this on Marie's blog, Whole Lotta Lovely, and absolutely loved her mix and match of yellow and grey.

Bright Lights

My obsession with lighting started with this picture:

I'm a sucker for dreamy lighting.

I have a similar one of these in my room, but I just love how they look like fireworks.

And this one's a DIY? Really?

And lastly, all I want is a bunch of lights hanging down from the ceiling to the floor. Is that too much to ask?

There's just something fresh and airy about mint interiors. Here are a couple of ways to weave the color into your home!

Annie Sloan

So my friend just told me about Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint for furniture, and I can't wait to try it out!!
She has so many great colors:

Pieces to paint . . .
1. Crib (the paint is low VOC and little to no odor so you can paint children's furniture, and paint in your house  bonus!!)
2. Vanity
3. Dining Room Table and Chairs
4. Dresser
5. Armoire
6. Accent Chair

That much painting should take me just about the whole of 2012 to complete :)

Adorable Children's Spaces

As you know most of our wall decal designs at Janey Mac are designed for children's spaces.  It may be because I have three kids 5 and under, but I just adore cute children's spaces.

All white with a accent of girl

Love the oversized wall decal with the string of adorable infant clothes.  And I am a sucker for the old metal cars.  I found one in a San Francisco thrift store a little over a year ago and I still love it as much as the day I found it.

A scooter on the wall - genius!

My favorite part about this next room, is I already have the bedspread!

Before and After

I love Before and Afters.
Raenovate is all that.
It's amazing what you can do with a space. . . . .
