As per house excitement that's coming up...I moved a few things yesterday.
I basically spent 4 hours stealing from one room to benefit another.
It worked out I think.
But more has to happen.
Mostly, I need to figure out how to make the wood console in my living room look brighter and more shimmery since the rest of the room is all feminine and pretty like.
It needs something that's not be books, lamps or mirrors...the rooms already packed full of those things and I don't think it can handle anymore...although if some kind book store owner wants to ship me these two free of charge, I'd of course be more than happy to find a space for them...
Also...
I'm thinking the console really wants a pair of these sweet pooches to make it prettier...
or maybe flamingos instead...
And sconces...it definitely wants sconces...or maybe candelabras for the fireplace so my cache pots can go on the console...
And a new TV...or maybe no TV...maybe a gallery wall instead and the TV in the playroom?
Oh but PS, it's almost Christmas and I just renovated a kitchen...aka- there's a rather large fund deficit...which equates to a fun deficit.
You see my dilemma.
On the positive side of things, I did make a few small changes that I'm really happy with.
For one, I moved my MFAMB original back to the fireplace...it's just too damn pretty to be hidden away in my bedroom...though I did love it there...someday I might need to own two Jenny originals...someday!
Anyhoo...
Here's Maxine back where she belongs...
Look how pretty she is in Instagram form...
And you know what else looks pretty smashing this way?
My Leigh Viner original with a pink cockatoo in front...these two lovelies have also found a new home on the fireplace mantle...
Don't you love how blurry/romantic the Instagrams are?
I do.
I had more photos to share today of all the other styling stuff but this is actually the second post I've put together this morning (didn't like the first) and frankly, I'm a bit pooped.
I'll share more in the next few days.
Also, my sweet Lola dog is having her second operation in as many weeks this morning...thankfully, the bump looks to be benign so they're just being extra cautious.
Please think happy doogle/get well thoughts for her:)

Love the flamingos! Your home is looking so perfect, can't wait to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteOooh very pretty :) I think those pink flamingos would fit right in! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Oh your poor pooch! Hope everything goes well for her!
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts for Lola!
ReplyDeleteThat painting def deserves to be in the front of the house :) And happy to hear that your dog should be okay!
ReplyDeleteThat painting is nuts. I cannot wait to see everything all styled up.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble remembering what the wooden console looks like so I'll have to go back and dig before I can offer my two cents. Love the FP styling though.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck to Lola! Here's to a swift recovery.
ps- I think I need instagram.
I like what I'm seeing...MFAMB original + Leigh Viner original = hopelessly fabulous (c: And sending happy doogle thoughts and squeezes Miss Lola's way...
ReplyDeleteAll your home sneak peeks are killing me!! Isn't finding a place for art you adore always a tough one? You want to have it be like your own private little treasure in the bedroom, but you want to share it with the world too. It looks gorgeous over your mantle!
ReplyDeleteLove the white staffordshire dogs! The paintings beauty is still awe inspriing...and really anchors your space in such a beautiful way, keep doing what you are doing because its amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh everything is just so pretty, you're looking at it all through eyes that have seen it all a million times. Trust!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you edit yourself...I just post any old thing that comes in my head. And that's how I talk too. It gets me in trouble, of course.
I agree, the flamingos are amazing! perfectly pink!
ReplyDeleteAhh everything looks amazing!!! Obviously. And those two books are at the top of my list as well!! Heavenly. So glad little Lola is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christine! I love your beautiful artwork on the mantle - it looks amazing! I'm sending doggie-prayers to Lola and hoping she is all ok! xx
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts are sewnt Miss Lola's way! Feel better soon pretty girl!
ReplyDeletelove the artwork & those candelabras...Rococo-ish!
ReplyDeleteYou have such amazing taste! I love your artwork and agree with everyone - those flamingos are just awesome :)
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful home...hope your little friend feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your Leigh with the cackatoo! That's a perfect match! And both of those books are on my xmas list. Here's hopin I get them or at least one because I've been very good this year :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteGet well soon to Lola. Thankfully, her bump is nothing too serious. Poor girl.
ReplyDeleteThe artworks look so good! I love how you have them together. Perhaps a gorgeous vintage glass/crystal table clock for your wood console? Crystal always looks so divine and on the cheap...glass can be delish also.
Oh, poor little Lola... I didn't know anything was wrong. Sending her well wishes. I'm giggling over "stealing from one room to another." I just know you would be a blast to hang out with and if I had the money I would totally adopt your style and redo my entire home! xo
ReplyDeletegorgeous!
