FRIDAY HUMBLE ABODE..COLORFUL THINGS...

SO...
I'm rounding out this week with some pretty and colorful painted floors. I think I'm like most people that see painted floors and say-"oh-that is so cool-but I don't think I could paint over wood like that!" If you have really nice floors-of course not! My brother is one of "those" people that say you should NEVER paint over wooden things in your home (he and his wife restored a charming historic bungalow in midtown Memphis) However, I'm of the opinion that not all wood is created equal! In our house-the wood floors and trim are kinda trashed, therefore painting them becomes an option and I'm open to lots of options! :)

I have begun the painting of our staircase and trim-you can check out what I've done so far HERE and some pretty, inspiring, painted staircases I love HERE..

Here are some other peoples houses with painted floors....

FRIDAY HUMBLE ABODE-OFFICE SPACES I LOVE...

There are so many kinds of home offices out there it's hard to say-"this one suits me best" I think you just have to figure out what you need and then find what you love based on that. For example-I always fall for the cute, tidy, simple, little office nook-tucked away in an unused hall space or closet-but seriously-where do these people put their stuff? I have a whole bedroom full of stuff plus I have things in the basement!! I think it's safe to say that my office space needs to be more than a bill payment center and place where I make my grocery list! I'm craving an inspired place to work and be creative-somewhere colorful, organized, spacious and artful-and maybe if I'm lucky from 11:30-2:30-peaceful! Well a girl can dream right? Here's a few dreamy offices I love-
ps-I colored my chair drawings and posted those too!
