House Decor Inspirations

Hello to anyone out there who might be reading this :) today's blog is actually a project I worked on last summer. I have always had a fascination with mermaids and so the color of the curtains was inspired by that. First off  I was shopping around for house decoration's I typically like to redo my decor by changing table place mats, rugs, switch pillows, picture frames and photos, table center pieces every now and then depending on what the occasion might be at the time. Thanksgiving, Christmas's, Halloween, a particular themed party etc. But that particular day I ran across a gold mermaid. I loved it at first glance it was not what I wanted but I knew I could make it it work. So I bought it with the idea in mind that I was going to hand paint it and have it look just the way I wanted.  Well painting it was a bit more work then i was expected and I loved the end results. And so it all took off from there I was in the hunt for mermaid things that would match my turquoise theme. I bough a few bags of turquoise base fillers and filled them up some where shaped like a fish so it was perfect ( I thought) and also bough a few blue bases. I also love the color of coral combined with turquoise so I found a few coral flowers and other frames to try to incorporate it. Everything was sorta coming together but I knew there was something missing. I've always been aware that curtains make a big statement I mean they take up so much room on the wall so yeah  they better be making a statement. And so I shopped around looking for some that would compliment what I already had but nothing seemed to truly be what I wanted. I wanted that darker turquoise and so I decided to make them myself I was a bit worried that it wouldn't work out but I didn't care its all about giving it a try. And I'm glad I did they didn't turn out perfect but they looked awesome at least in my eyes. Every other guest that I had seemed to like them as well. It was a pop of color and it really made my dinning room look so lively and cheerful! I think it was a win and it all started because of a mermaid. I wonder what I will get in to next!
