There has been some major drama over here at the Woods’ household.  First, we are stuck in Zelda (curse Snow Mountain!).  Second, Dallan and I are in a heated debate about whether it would be “better to live next door to a mortuary or next to a cemetery” again (Yes, we’ve already been down this path once.  Dallan says mortuary.  I say cemetery.  Not that we have any plans to move…).   Third, I can’t decide on the perfect green paint color for our guest room. 

You see, I thought I wanted to go with a “Seafoam” color.  However, now that I’ve been looking at “Seafoam” paint, it all looks too blue.  Who knew Seafoam leaned more towards blue?  So, I’m back to square one.  I guess the color I am really going for, is an antique-ish green.  Does this make any sense?  Here are the colors I currently have up on the wall in my guest room.  I don’t really like any of them. 

Of the four paint colors I currently have up on my wall, these two greens are closer to what I’m looking for.  However, the green on top may be a little too “vibrant” and the one on the bottom right may be a little too “dark”.  So, I’ve decided to find a color that is more in the middle.  What do you think of this paint sample?  I also thought about mixing these two colors together.  I still have a ton of leftover paint.

Can’t envision it?  Well, here are some of my random knick knacks that will probably go in this room.

1. Milk Glass Lamps: They still need lamp shades.  I’ll probably go with something simple (i.e. nothing frilly).

2. Woman Praying Painting: (I need to clean off the rest of price tag). Not sure if I’ll put this in my guest room or office.  However, I love the color of her blouse.

3. Coventary Ware Bookends of Child Reading: I found two of these at the thrift store and had to have them.  They are from the World War II era so I won’t repaint them.  I’m thinking about modernizing them with shadow boxes. 

4. Bronze Metal Owl: I’m kind of sick of the trendy Owl craze.  Yet, this little antique owl made me smile. (I may put him on a shelf).

5. Knit Afghan: I found this at a thrift store last year and instantly fell in love with all of the bright colors.  This will probably go on the foot of the bed.

6. More paint samples: The one on top is my favorite.

7. Bronze Metal Rocking Horse: Another one of those thrift finds that I talked myself in to buying.  I thought “better to have it and sell it, than regret not having it at all”.

Kind of random, huh?  I guess, I find little bits of inspiration in every one of these knick knacks.  What do you find inspiration in?
