I would love this mirror for above the fireplace - art deco, brass style. From Anthropologie |
Steve will be taking on some manly building projects:
- building a coffee table
- building a book shelf
- eventually a kitchen table
and I will be doing a fair amount of crafting and decorating:
- finish crocheting a huge chevron throw blanket
- rewiring vintage lamps
- crochet a huge rope doily rug, crochet a cotton bathmat
I don't expect to fully complete our house decorations within a month of moving in... although I get antsy, I know to make it the perfect home we are looking for, it's going to take time and patience. Plus, finding special, antique or vintage items will be much more important and loved than buying new.
Items to acquire in the next year or so:
- a workbench or console table
- a kitchen island with a dark hardwood top
- a mirror for above the fireplace
- lots of brass details - lamps, middle eastern figurines, bowls, and picture frames
