Dear friends,
As you know if you read yesterday’s post, there was no TG in my IF this week. In addition to working Thursday and Friday night and all day Saturday, I ran over my dog, which is a sure way to ruin one’s weekend.
Things are looking up for Sunday, though.
I made some yummy banana-nut muffins for breakfast and I have this mouth-watering recipe on tap for our first Sunday Supper since Kate moved home for the summer. (And everybody knows how much I love family suppers!)
And . . . I added a lovely burst of color to our otherwise neutral living room in the form of a new rug and some throw pillows. Take a look:
As you can see, my furniture and my jute rug are all shades of camel. And my walls are white — which makes for a pretty bland room. (I know some would say my neutral palette is “calming” but I’m a person who craves color.) My pottery and art add pops of color, but I wanted something to grab your attention.
Here’s a close-up view:
Isn’t it amazing what a colorful rug and pillows can do for your room?
I’ve selected some bright yellow fabric to sew a slipcover for my ottoman. And I hope to reupholster the sofa in a luxe navy velvet if I ever save enough money.
In the mean time, my pretty new rug perks things up considerably.
And sometimes, a bright spot is all a girl needs.
With gratitude {for a quick fix},
Joan, whose also thrilled to have her favorite grocery shopper back in the house, despite what it means for her snack habits
