me seeking all your amazing decorating opinions...



i'm at my wit's end trying to decide what to do up above my couch in my living room....

Photobucket

before i had photos of my kids....




would still like to have photos of the family....maybe silhouettes??



french nordic meets the american prairie type of thing???



i have the matching side tables and lamps on either side of the couch....to symmetrical??



yes, the lamps are me trying to bring a little stripped down industrial style to my home...hhmm...working? not working? {plan on changing the bulbs to clear vintage style}

would love to hear any ideas you all may have...getting desperate here....

Girl, you just have me in awe at the kindness you have shown me by featuring my little ole shop in such a wonderful way!!! You are a sweetheart!!! Thank you for this!

...how about hanging some cool grain sacks on the wall...that seems like French-Nodic meets prairie to me! You could hang them by themselves or put a slightly bigger frame around them, no glass, just a cool Frenchy frame to add emphasis...might I suggest a pale grey:) I'm all about juxtaposition!

Thanks again, really, you are too kind!

btw, I ran out of my usual pretty tissue and it was on back order, so Kasey lent me some of hers to get me by for a few days...hence her comment :)
