Interior Decorating this week

Hello, This week has past so quickly!
It is Friday!
Now wait a minute how did that happen?

After packing this place up to sell and now moving back in I needed a little inspiration.
Feng Shui for decor...not religion :)


Thrusday
So the theory is
When you walk in the door the area should have water and depth.
It should not be crowded or cluttered.
Blue and black are the best choices of color.

Just to the left of the entry is the center and it has sunflowers and a little table with the things that are all about who I am.
The center back of the house should have red tones and black to balance it.
It is a place of ones interests and achievements.
Our little family loves rock collecting and spelunking (caves)

Before kids our date would often find us at the mall in the nature store drooling over specimens of stones and crystals.

The bottom center is a core sample Steve and I found years ago in the desert when we were on a hike.

I moved the phone that was by the front door to here and it is much nicer to grab it when I have to run in from the garden.
The stones on the table are mostly purchased except those on the black rack.
There is note paper and sharpened little pencils in the drawer.

These are some books of interest.

Following the red on that center back wall theory the garden corner by the back door was changed up.

This is the center of the house with a little table with things that are about who I am.
I offered to do this for Steve but he declined?
His would be a lot of history and Civil War, machining and nature.
I still might get a little thing set up all about who he is.
Maybe I can do something for the kids?

The far right front of the home is all about travel and helpful people.
So a beginning with that left this here.
I LOVE IT!

So I removed the phone from the master bedroom and placed it here on the landing just outside the master bedroom door.

The far back right side of the home is the corner signifying love.
So I cleared the space just outside our bedroom windows and set up a nice little tea spot for he and I. The kids and I in the morning.
If it were not for ants on that sidewalk we would be set.
I set poison something I really hate to do. Yes hate...I do not use that word loosly.
At this point it is them or me.
They will loose this is now MY turf!
They were in those bails of tomato plants and they are pretty upset to loose the resorce.
{poor things}
The plan is to plant roses and some other things like tulips and a pomegranate tree just to the left in the image (at the corner).
It is shaded in the morning and in the late evening as well.

The center of the homes right side is the creative area.
The patio has been cleared to open it up for the kids.
Now they will have a shaded play place.
When I was out last night I got some side walk chalk.

Dash was out here at 7 am this morning yep it worked!

Now here is a little trick.
:)
Mirror eye height on the refrigerator.

Needed after treating the kids to a baked cake decorating event.
It had the joy of eating it at the end of the play time.

Dove wanted chocolate frosting (note how light she wanted it) and Dash vanilla.
Yes , I know ...
It was really no bother.
Same cake mix just used two baking pans.

These little master pieces did not even make it unscathed for two minutes!
We had some Spanish rice supper on the dining table.
Leave it to Beaver
style (an old 1950's TV show).
Dove wanted to do that so I set a table cloth and place mats.
It was a bit unnerving because Dash is troubled with fine motor and man the mess!

So by the end of dinner and the earlier realization that I had not left my front door in
4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With two wonderful full of sugar and energy kids!

So I went out last night to Wal-Mart and did a little shopping.
$50. grocery budget got out the door with $47. felt good about it too.
After the wall boarder in the foyer, the other roll was returned.
The gift card afforded me a nice litte spree.
I got 4 Blue place mats and napkins for $2!
The kitchen is being stripped of yellow due to the understanding that it is color of increased appitite. So lets see, perhaps the blue will lend a better quality of dietary respect.

I'll show you it later!
Gotta run.
My Sisrer needs me.
