Colorful lamps can bring any room to life. Whether you choose a colorful glass lamp or colorful lampshade, lighting is a great way to introduce a new accent color, add a bold pop of color, or tie into other accent colors in your room’s décor. Brighten up your room with a colorful table lamp and see how much it changes the look and feel of the space.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Colorful Lamps" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10791" src="http://blog.arcadianlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/1-Colorful-Lamps.jpg" title="1 Colorful Lamps" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">Pinterest <span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/7305132_eXl0tBZI_c.jpg" target="_blank">via</a></span></span></div>In a monochrome or neutral room a single spot of color can have a big impact. This buttery yellow lamp looks great paired with white walls and black furniture.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Colorful Lamps" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10793" src="http://blog.arcadianlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2-Colorful-Lamps.jpg" title="2 Colorful Lamps" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">Anthropologie <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=&id=67120&catId=HOME-LIGHTING-TABLE&pushId=HOME-LIGHTING-TABLE&popId=HOME-LIGHTING&sortProperties=&navCount=30&navAction=middle&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=ora&isSubcategory=&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=D" target="_blank"><span style="color: #888888;">via</span></a></span></div>We love this light with its range of warm hues in glass. It has a vintage feeling to it but could work well in many style rooms to add color.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Colorful Lamps" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10794" src="http://blog.arcadianlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/3-Colorful-Lamps.jpg" title="3 Colorful Lamps" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">Ohdeedoh <a href="http://i-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/ohdeedoh/IMG_1273.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="color: #888888;">via</span></a></span></div>A colorful lamp with a multi-color polka dot shade ties together a color filled room. The green contrasts nicely with the rose wall to make the lamp pop.<br />

The colored clear glass of the lamps adds a subtle color to the room.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Colorful Lamps" class="size-full wp-image-10797 aligncenter" height="355" src="http://blog.arcadianlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/5-Colorful-Lamps.jpg" title="5 Colorful Lamps" width="500" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">Desire to Inspire <span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://www.desiretoinspire.net/storage/allpostphotos/002833_02_of_10_LEE_01_018_750x450.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1300423673632" target="_blank">via</a></span></span></div>A mustard yellow floor lamp draws the eye in this grey filled living room. A yellow pinstripe on the pillows helps tie in the lamp with the rest of the décor.<br />

Any colorful lamp would stand out in this neutral space.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Colorful Lamps" class="size-full wp-image-10799 aligncenter" height="320" src="http://blog.arcadianlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/7-Colorful-Lamps.jpg" title="7 Colorful Lamps" width="500" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #888888;">Everything LEB <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjz9bPqoTStXTMumEOTziNHZ3-KKjdnj4dCaLhmqfI4Lo-kDzRZjjDdqGsj2jzCAzDsKxJc5dy73Z_zuiurVLMfi00SeTigjkIWM2jN60yN9Z4Uo1zEz8AWcZ4tCsSRP9PpHCSKYpP82k/s1600/Honey+Collins.jpg" target="_blank"><span style="color: #888888;">via</span></a></span></div>Make a room feel cohesive with a lively pair of colorful lamps in one of the room’s accent colors, in this case red. Make sure your <strong><a href="http://www.arcadianlighting.com/" target="_blank" title="Light Fixture">light fixture</a></strong> is part of the rooms’ over all design for a polished look.<br />

Switch out a neutral shade for a bright solid or multicolor shade to add color.<br />

My hubby has an entire office and I wanted a little space to myself in our bedroom so I patiently searched for a small desk for a couple of months and this is what I found. $30 for the desk, paint that I already had and $35 in drawer pulls. I would say for $65 total, I am very happy with my purchase! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I simply wanted to frost them for privacy from my neighbors and just for fun I added the design. Painters tape, a utility knife and glass frosting paint is all I needed. I used the utility knife to cut the edges of the tape for nice clean lines. It took me about 15 minutes!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I have dreams of Italian tiles, a glass dual head shower and a glamorous claw foot bathtub - but as for now those dreams will have to wait for a winning lottery ticket. <br />
However, when you have a basic room and Decorating ADD, the wheels will start turning at any given time...<br />
What started out to be a 15 minute "tidy the bathroom"...<br />
soon turned into touching up the paint...<br />
which then turned into mixing some paints...<br />
which then turned into 3 hours later and stripes! <br />
<br />

It was yummy!!! Did any of you celebrate this holiday with Mexican food? Did you cook a meal for your family or go out to your favorite Mexican restaurant? <br />
<br />
Well, yours truly, just so happens to be Latino and cooked up some fabulous chicken enchiladas. <br />
My family absolutely loves my chicken enchiladas and guess what! I am going to tell you all my secrets! <br />
<br />
Like most mothers out there, I don't have the time to spend hours in the kitchen. Besides, as much as I love Mexican food, I am not a fan of corn tortillas smothered in grease! I am also not a fan of spending hours at the stove. Now I wouldn't go claiming these enchiladas to be "healthy" but I think given the traditional recipe - they would be a healthier alternative.<br />
<br />
If you make similar enchiladas - I would love to hear what you do different. <br />

All my girls are ready for a revamp and quite frankly so are my husband and I. I have started with my youngest and will be going to mine next. As I have hers already planned out and am currently working on the details - my brain is already wandering to ideas for mine. I am in love with the color green right now. Not mint green, not sage green but GREEN GREEN! More on that later.... As for now, here are some pretty fabulous bedrooms from House Beautiful and Elle Decor. Enjoy! <br />

It also happens to be our mud room and the "catch all" for shoes, purses, backpacks, coats and keys. Everytime I did laundry, I had to trip over shoes to get to the machine. You can see in my before picture, how little room there is to work and this is after I cleared out all of the clutter... <br />

Everyone is into the chevron stripes and I am no exception. I painted this message board and added the hooks for a pop of color and convenience. <br />

Now I can't very well have a new laundry room that I love and still be tripping over shoes. So to fix this situation, I painted the dingy garage door black and stenciled a message for my family to see. This also takes care of having too many pairs of shoes hanging around where they shouldn't be. Even though we spray for spiders, the thought of them has my teenage girls taking the extra pairs to their rooms! Win win!!! <br />

I admit that I am addicted and can't seem to stop myself. These are lamps I found at the thrift store. $15 bucks for everything on this table! Well everything but the bowl of apples. I can't wait to show you what I do with them. <br />

I happened to run across the tutorial over at <a href="http://bringrestoration.blogspot.com/">Restoration House</a>. Make sure you check out her blog. It is fabulous!<br />
I was looking for the pictures I took along the way but somehow they got deleted. However, you can check Restoration House's tutorial <a href="http://bringrestoration.blogspot.com/2010/10/driftwood-candle-holder-tutorial.html">here</a>. <br />

I bought some cheap cardboard boxes at Walmart. The material I found for cheap at Joann Fabric. The rings are curtain grommets that are sold in a pack. I drilled the holes first and used adhesive spray to get the material to stick and then cut the material around the holes. I used a hot glue gun on the grommets. This took me about 2 hours from start to finish! So relieved!!! </div>Kimberlea@SaVvyDeCorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856601693464918537noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3208410798802504117.post-28316429790000359272011-03-16T14:14:00.000-04:002011-03-16T14:14:48.463-04:00Pool Time!So I have been a busy bee lately. I have finished my husband's office (photos to come later) and I am almost done with the dining room! Then I will move on to the entry which gets tons of natural light but always seems so boring. It should be the most beautiful part of the house but it is actually my least favorite.<br />
<br />
As for right now, we are in the process of having an inground pool installed. I am so very excited! A self-proclaimed sun junky I am, I am.... <br />
We have the pool picked out and the digging should start at the beginning of April. The fence will go up this weekend. Here are a few photos that I have added to my idea book from Houzz....<br /><div><a href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/7613/David-Ludwig-Studios-traditional-pool-san-francisco'><img src='http://st.houzz.com/simages/7613_0_3-4232-traditional-pool.jpg' alt='David Ludwig Studios traditional pool' border=0 width='320' height='213'></img></a></div><div style='color:#444;'><small><a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional/pool'>traditional pool design</a> by <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/professionals/architect/san-francisco'>san francisco architect</a> <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/professionals/298/David-Ludwig-AIA--Architect'>David Ludwig AIA - Architect</a></small></div><br /><div><a href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/60468/Hyde-Park-Residence-3-contemporary-pool-chicago'><img src='http://st.houzz.com/simages/60468_0_3-9481-contemporary-pool.jpg' alt='Hyde Park Residence 3 contemporary pool' border=0 width='320' height='221'></img></a></div><div style='color:#444;'><small><a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/contemporary/pool'>contemporary pool design</a> by <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architect/chicago'>chicago landscape architect</a> <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/professionals/7690/The-Garden-Consultants-Inc'>The Garden Consultants, Inc.</a></small></div><br /><div><a href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/20817/SchappacherWhite-Ltd---pool-new-york'><img src='http://st.houzz.com/simages/20817_0_3-4039--pool.jpg' alt='SchappacherWhite Ltd. pool' border=0 width='320' height='240'></img></a></div><div style='color:#444;'><small><a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/pool'>pool design</a> by <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/professionals/architect/new-york'>new york architect</a> <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/professionals/1474/SchappacherWhite-Ltd'>SchappacherWhite Ltd.</a></small></div><br /><div><a href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/133519/Patios---Pools--pool-'><img src='http://st.houzz.com/simages/133519_0_3-9160--pool.jpg' alt='Patios & Pools pool' border=0 width='320' height='238'></img></a></div><div style='color:#444;'><small><a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/pool'>pool design</a></small></div><br /><div><a href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/88858/swimming-pool-traditional-pool-atlanta'><img src='http://st.houzz.com/simages/88858_0_3-5194-traditional-pool.jpg' alt='swimming pool traditional pool' border=0 width='320' height='212'></img></a></div><div style='color:#444;'><small><a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional/pool'>traditional pool design</a> by <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architect/atlanta'>atlanta landscape architect</a> <a style='text-decoration:none;color:#444;' href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/professionals/11720/Charles-Hodges-Ltd-Gardens'>Charles Hodges Ltd.

Of course as soon as I open the box, I notice the chip and crack on the corner BUT like any impatient girl, I feel the need to put it together and admire it until the replacement comes on Monday. I have a few more things to do in this room before it is complete but I'm feeling good about the direction I chose to go. With all the dark colors in the room, a bit of shine is just what it needs! <br />

I have been busy this week! I haven't had much time to post because the flu had found it's way into our home. However, while taking care of sick children I managed to sew some pillows for my family room sofa and my husband's office. Just to be clear... I do not sew. I once took a sewing class in the 7th grade, but if I remember correctly, my teacher wasn't very impressed with my work. Even so, if I had to describe myself in one word, determined would be me! So I dusted off an old sewing machine stored in the basement and I got to work. Lord help me! I could not even remember how to thread the machine and the bobbin! YouTube my friends can get you through anything! Ha Ha (true story). </div>
So here are the pillows I made. I am pretty happy with them. If someone was to look closely, they would see my amateur work. I did have a lot of fun though and I think I may have been bit by the sewing bug. I am going to take some classes soon!<br /> The brown pillows were made from a shower curtain that I found at TJ Maxx.<br /> The black prints were stenciled on. <strike></strike><br />

My dining room is a work in progress. I still want to do something with the chairs. I haven't decided what yet. Either I will make slip covers or just redo the seats. The cabinet is going to be used as a liquor cabinet. I am looking for decanters, a tray and anything else I might find. The little gray table in the corner was also painted with stripes. I'm not sure if I will keep it that way - it might just be too many stripes for me.<br />

Just a typical February day on the North Coast. It is about this time every year that I start dreaming of sunshine and sandy beaches. Since I can't really do anything about that right now, I have decided it's time to pull out the seashells. I do this every year. I pull out my collection of shells and try to find different ways to display them around the house so that I can feel like summer is near by. I admire them until October and then I pack them back up and start the redecorating for fall/winter hibernation. <br />
<br />
For all of you out there who also need a winter escape, I am posting pictures of my all time favorite home. The home from "Somethings Gotta Give". Enjoy!<br />

I am very excited! I finally have decided on how I want to paint this cabinet. It was my husband's grandmothers and we love it very much. It doesn't really go with our room but I love to mix different styles. Besides, after I am finished with it - it will go beautifully!

I have had my eye on this for about a year. Going back and forth wondering if it would be right for my room. I absolutely love it! However, it did not come without a headache. Reading the instructions on installation should have been my first sign of things to come when it read: (Warning contains lead - keep out of reach of children and wash hands immediately following). Yes, I probably should have and maybe would have marched it right back to the store had it not been two hours away! Besides did I mention that I absolutely love it! After three phone calls to replace the missing pieces and two weeks later - I finally have it installed. Let me know what you think!Kimberlea@SaVvyDeCorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856601693464918537noreply@blogger.com1
