It's been a while since we've done anything to the house... I think almost two-three months?! (gasp) But while I think we did burn ourselves out a little bit so the time not doing stuff was enjoyed, we went places and had family in town. Now I'm working on thinking of what we want to do...
The wall behind the tv bothers me, there is some awkward negative space and I'm not sure what I want to do with it.
I've been thinking a lot about DIYing a tv console/cabinet because all the ones I love in Pottery Barn are slightly out of my price range. I've recently seen several versions that people have done and the one below has my heart, it's very clean, neat, and just the right about of detail to have good character.
I also like this yellow one too (surprise, right?). I don't think I could do more yellow furniture since we have it in the DR but maybe a neutral color (gray, white, maybe even stain) with some detail (chevron or color border) to give it character. I'm on the hunt for a cheap wood dresser now...
There is also the kitchen wall....
I've left it just bare since we plan to take the wallpaper down and paint it. The wallpaper is this orangey/tan rattan texture and it is just too "Caribbean" for my taste. I've toyed around with the ideas of making it several things; a bike wall so we would be more prone to use our bikes but I figured the wall would just be torn up, a command center with other shelves and frames, create a half table so it appears the organizer isn't just floating on the huge wall... let me share what has inspired me.
I've loved board and batten... but I'm working on getting T on board. We are fully aware that the kitchen walls are not going to be in the best shape from our experience with the master bathroom (that had the same hideous wallpaper). I think by putting up the board and batten that it would take away from the wall, even after we "repair" it won't be perfectly smooth.
If the wall wouldn't get torn up from taking the bikes up and down I would LOVE two of these holders. T also thinks that they would stick too far out into the "walkway" of the kitchen.... so it's a battle lost.
Or maybe just a whole wall of frames?
I guess the wallpaper had to come down first... sigh.
Have a great Tuesday, I'll be brainstorming of more ideas and looking for a dresser.
