Grassroots Design and Build

1) I re-organized my place a little recently. I moved the blue couch from the living room into the back room. My eyes were hankering for more colour back there.

I am feeling like I need to sink even further and go for a fern colour paint colour. Or a deep pink. It is stressing me out a bit if I am honest... (we need to keep our minds off of politics somehow right?)

2) I like this room a lot. But I like it SO MUCH more with my cats. Meet George and Louise. Agnes is hiding. But cats should be photographed as accessories as much as possible. Until they tell you to f’ off – which of course – because they are cats – is often.

The last time I posted this room there was no green ceiling and no round table. The round table has made for a lot more floor space. I also love how it complements the bay windows in that room.

It took me a little while to get used to the ceiling but now I feel I can’t go back. I don’t know if I ever want a white ceiling in my house anymore. However, I am trying not to go crazy and am taking my time, because it does happen for me to change my mind... fairly often. Just so many beautiful things out there!

I get to look at this every time I come down the stairs to go to the kitchen. And given these days that I forget why I am going downstairs or why I am going upstairs, at least this view keeps me feeling a little more sane!

I love this view as I step into my home. How can such a clash of colours and patterns not make one smile?

We used baltic birch on this project. This was inspired by my friends reno where they used it everywhere and I loved it. It is a great product, clean looking, lovely, light, and easy to clean.
