Chiribambola. Rearranged Design. A Beautiful Mess: DECORATE. A year and a half ago we signed a bunch of papers and unlocked the door to our 100-year-old, yellow house for the very first time. It's been a trip. If you would have asked me on that day how long I thought it would take to get everything "decorated" I would have said three months.
Our closing date was in August, and I was pretty sure that by Christmas it would be perfect. I have friends and family with "finished" homes. They moved in, decorated for a couple weeks, and have lived there happily for many years without so much as moving a picture frame. Fast forward a year and a half, and I'll tell you one thing I know for sure—nothing is ever perfect. Unrealistic expectations? Today I'm here to share what I've learned from this 100-year-old yellow house and this past year and a half of in-progress living. 1. Here's what I mean. As the years went by I started to understand my look a little more. Houses are the same way. Your home has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. 2. 3. Decor happy. 4 Men 1 Lady.

Art & Mañas. 23 feb Inspiración: Mesita auxiliar en azulón Me pirra este azulón! Tengo un bote con un azul muy muy parecido muerto del asco en el armario esperando el mueble perfecto para él! Mientras tanto… me conformo con mirarlo en la distancia Enviado por: Art & Mañas 4 feb Restaurando una mesita en blanco roto decapada en gris plata Por fín está acabada la mesita de Belén! Al final hemos tardado un poco más de la cuenta ( un mes más, para ser exactos :-D), pero lo importante es que está acabada y que ha quedado preciosa. Desde le último post, sólo nos quedaba pintar los pomos que ha sido casi la decisión más difícil y al final nos hemos guiado un poco por las pinturas para metal que tenía en casa, que eran dos: color crema y un azul grisáceo que usé en su momento para las bisagras del baúl aguamarina Así que cogí todo el color crema que tenía y eché un poquito de azul y nos salió este azul que veis en la foto, que me encanta!
