Simply Grove

If I lived near Brentwood California, I would be running to this!

Lets do it again.  What is your favorite feature in the room and your least favorite feature?

If I had to design a room around this horse print, here are a few things that I would use.  Random, I know.  But oh so fun.

Horse by blondebeard, chair, light, sofa, pillow, rug, lamp and table.

I am over here talking about these.

I personally don’t have a designated office space at home but I know the importance of them.  I usually find myself working on my kitchen table, couch and or sofa.  I someday would like to have my own office space area with lots of room for storage and filing.  What do you need in a work space?

Happy new week!!  I start this week with over 90 mosquito bites all over my body.  That’s right, you heard me right!  I had a convo with a friend, standing in wet grass and I didn’t even realize that I was being eaten alive.  Oops!!  Its all good.  I just look like I have some sord of pox.  No biggy!

In other news, we just finished these bar stools (pictured above) last week.  You like?  There is a set of 3 available at Brass Razoo.

What a great summer getaway home!  I can picture many lounge hours in this space.

I found this blog via Victoria.  I could browse thru his finds all day long!

I am loving these light teal and turquoise tones.  A perfect compliment for gray, white, mustard and brown (and many other combination’s and colors).  Here are a few options on how to use such a specific color in a space.

*Paint it on a wall or walls for a total dramatic effect.
*If you only want random splashes of this color, use it in everyday items like mugs, vases and other home accessories.
*And if you still want a dramatic feel but you don’t want to paint a whole room, choose one piece of furniture in a space to paint.

I hope that you all had a fantastic weekend!!  Brass Razoo’s birthday celebration was a great success!  We had amazing sales and lots of new inventory.  My favorite furniture pieces sold which is always bittersweet.  But I am so happy for the new owners.
