OlioBoard #1

Olioboard.com is a really great website where you can create interior design moodboards. You can browse through furniture, paint colors, etc., that other users have already added to the site, or you can upload your own. I've been using this to see what our house could look like with a few changes. :)

The very first OlioBoard that I made was for one of our spare bedrooms. Right now this room is where all of our miscellaneous things are stored. It also still has the crazy crayola colors on the walls from the previous owners...our poor house guests probably have nightmares of rogue Sesame Street characters when they sleep over...not so good :/ Here is what I came up with...

Office

I am OBSESSED with this white bookcase from Ikea. It's 6'x6' and is perfect for displaying picture frames and holding baskets, folders, books, etc. It would definitely be the focal point of the room and can store so much! LOVE :) Desk is also from Ikea. Instead of a boring old leather chair for the desk, I'm thinking it would be more fun to find a vintage chair and reupholster it with a bright yellow print. I really like the combination of the teal wall and the yellow chair :) I also plan on framing old magazine advertisements from the 50's and 60's for cheap, vintage wall art. It could be due to the fact that I have watched every Mad Men episode way too many times...but I think vintage ad's are really interesting.

So there is my OlioBoard for spare bedroom #1, a.k.a the office :) More boards to follow!

Peacock Blue :)

So the husband says that peacock blue is a bad choice for the living room...right now he is singing the Cheeseburger Song from Veggie Tales...do we trust this man's judgement with paint colors??? Look how gorgeous this color is!

We have cream couches, espresso furniture...it would be gorgeous!


I'm currently making a list of redecorating to-do's for the summer...hehehe :D
