flowers for friday #109

heartsies....

to finally getting some rain.

for long weekends.

and paint projects.

(i have another one i'm working on. it's a wood headboard picked up along the side of the road, for our lake house. its going to be the slickest, shiniest cobalt blue. watch instagram for its before and after!!}

and tater tots!

and my uncle visiting.

and YOU.

have a good weekend,

JILL

aqua y gold.

i got nowhere on my cart last night.

my uncle is in town. he's a global traveler/dweller.

he's now living in norway.

just moved from australia.

before that here.

before that, grenada.

before that, south africa.

and he's originally from the uk.

and i'm missing stuff in there, too i'm sure.

anyway we were hanging with him last night.

lucky for me, there's a long weekend ahead... perfect for projects.

totally unrelated, but isn't this color combo kinda gorgeous?

i hope you all enjoy your weekend.

think i'm headed to the lake.

that hurricane is now hanging over us and it's not forcasted to lighten up until sunday or monday.

but rainy days at the lake can be fun, too.

LOVE.

JILL.

this close.....

when we moved into our new office, i mentioned more about it here,

there was lots of mid-century mod furniture left behind.

and some random other pieces.

this is one of those random other pieces.

i declared her mine and i'm taking her home.

(do you know how much i love free furniture? it's a sickness.)

she's going to be my new bar in my dining area.

the walls in there are so dark navy blue, they are legitimately almost black.

and i'm thiiiiiis close to painting her a shade of pink:

with neutrals it provides the right amount of umph. ya know?

and despite the use of it in my kitchen, and other pink things i've blogged about and love, i'm not a die-hard fan of every shade every time. in fact, i'm more often not a fan.

but this shade, this time...

i think it's about to happen.

and i bought a new lamp for it yesterday, too.

its the same neutral sandy-nude as the woman's shoes in the bottom picture.

in my head it's going to look fierce.

just hope it comes out to be as cute in reality.

pictures soon.

prob tomorrow or early next week because i'm pumped.

just when.

just when i thought it was safe to post all the mirror-metallic shoes that i've found around the web, the world shows me these.

this always happens!

but have you ever seen anything so beautiful?

i would get re-married for the opportunity to make these my wedding shoes.

to husband again, of course.

mid-october wedding....

and a short little ensemble to show off my shoes.

maybe like this:

in a room that looks like this:

and tables for our brunch reception set like this:

serving these things side by side:

{dessert is the best part of a meal, even if it is mid-afternoon!}

gold spun cotton candy?! absolutely.

color scheme of blush pink, gold, and shades of gray.

mmm. glammy.

remember this one?

from domino.

images like these make me want to be totally fearless when it comes to color.

it's hard.

you know it.

i know it.

gutsy.

some people just get it, and know how to be totally fearless.

miles redd and nick olsen are 2 of those people and i think that's the reason i'm such a fan.

anyway.

husband was gone all weekend and it made me spend alot of alone time with my house.

when that happens, i start analyzing things, rearranging, re-thinking.

as we stand, i now have plans to re-paint my front room. the-so-dark-its-almost-black navy has had a really great run. but it's time.

i have plans for a new bathroom color. and art. and flooring.

i have 2 chairs in my front room that need re-upholstering. i wanna go bold. domino green-and-yellow-toile-kitchen bold.

kinda want to paint all the doors in my all white hallway something. black... mousey-gray-tan? don't know but i think it could rock.

and i want to paint my front door again.

see why i shouldn't spend that much alone time with my house?

gets expensive!

happy monday.
