I Just Painted

I recently decided to repaint my kitchen cabinets.  I just felt like they needed a little color.  And after all...it's only paint, right!

I didn't do any fancy paint treatments,{Ok, partly because I don't really know how.} and I didn't even remove the doors.

See...

I just painted.

This is my kitchen before...

And of course, after...

Since these pics were taken, I have painted the skirting next to the floor.  Looks much better.

I am very happy with the way they turned out!

The moral of the story is...

You can color your world with paint and if you don't like it, paint over it!

Oh my gosh!  Computer wires!

They have bugged me for years. I have tried to ignore them, but no matter how well I organize my office, there they are, staring at me.

Mangled and tangled.

It's like they have a mind of their own and I don't like what they are saying! 

I have gone as far as to place a framed piece of art about the size of the opening under my desk in an attempt to hide them.

The only problem was it was always falling over on my feet.

Not a good idea after all.

Then while going through stuff for my garage sale, I suddenly had an epiphany!  Yes, I said epiphany.

Here's what I came up with...

Left over fabric, fabric glue, tension rod.

Ta Da!  Hey!  Not bad, huh?  NO more wires!!!!

Let us in on some ways you have hidden or disguised your ugly monster of wires!

I'm linking to these fabulous parties!

Glimpes of Home

This week I'm joining the linky Glimpse of Home with Chatting at the Sky. 

This is a glimpse into this decorators home office.  I was told by a client friend that a messy office is a sign of creativity.

Do you think she was just trying to make me feel better?
  

Living in a small home, I have to do with the space I have, so

I use my walls as an art gallery for the art I use for home staging. 

Is that an empty spot on that desk?? 

I'm not sure if I am brave or just out of my mind
for posting my office! :)

Do you have a creative office?
