I've decided it's time to embrace the slow decorating movement...I've looked for a book but can't find one. Do you know of one? I think I first heard about this approach on the Nester's blog. But anyway, after rushing about my house for the last three years getting rooms redone and spruced up, I'm ready for a slower pace.
I like the idea of considering options more thoughtfully, and perhaps saving up money to get an item that I know I'll be thrilled with for years and will stand up to wear and tear. Or waiting until I find just the right item or solution for a space, instead of grabbing what I've found and making do.
Besides..."slow" is about all the time I have to put toward decorating these days! However, I did get one little project complete: The hanging of the wallpaper art.
Got some pictures to hang? You must get a package of OOK picture hanging hardware!
{the best, bar none}
A couple measurements later, the Ikea Ribba frames showcasing colors of the vase wallpaper were hung...
...and pretty straight at that. Or close enough.
I'm loving them. Happy bursts of color & pattern!
And now I'm heading off to the coast with a group of girlfriends for the weekend...
Long overdue, we'll be finding lots to celebrate I'm sure.
Enjoy yours!
I will definitely make my way out today to buy some of these. First for my new gallery wall and then for a few clients!

Love this! I too have taken the slow approach to decorating my space. This way my purchases are well planned and thought out and I don't walk away with buyers remorse. :) GOOD LUCK!
ReplyDeleteLove the pops of color against the dark wall!
ReplyDeleteI've always tried to take the slow approach to decorating, otherwise my house would be a mish-mash of the crazy spur-of-the-moment ideas I have. Good luck!
Your decorations is wonderful!!!

Looks fabulous! That wallpaper in different colours is a genius decorating idea. Perfect for wallpaper-commitment-phobes. Like me.
