For a living room, a sofa is a statement piece; the perfect dress for that upcoming event you're oh, so excited about. You all know as well as I do that there are more sofas out there than meets the eye; more than I even care to think about - can we say exhausting?!? They come in all types; lovely ones, atrocious ones, in subtle tones, some so bright I need my shades, wallet-friendly versions, as well as budget-busters, the possibilities are seriously endless! All of these options can be both good and bad - good because people love <span style="font-size: large;">options and just like <i>Goldilocks and the Three Bears</i>, </span>you too want to find the one that's juuusssst riggghhhttttttt...... With all of these options, it can also be bad because, well, there are so many options - ha! </div>
<br />
As tempting as it is to go with some amazeballs print when picking our your sofa and/or the fabric for it, my rule of thumb on this is ALWAYS go neutral on the fabric!! If you do decide to go with a print, be sure and pick a subtle/classic print that is not too trendy, otherwise, you may be left shaking your head and wondering whyyyy (insert tears here) a few years down the road. You may be thinking there is no fun in picking a boring fabric for a huge piece of furniture that you're going to have to look at <u>every</u> <u>single</u> <u>day</u>. Well, this is where the fun of accessories come in! Fun pillows, bright or sophisticated throws, or even throwing in something "outside of the box" like draping a cowhide can look amazing and chic on your sofa and really will liven up the neutral fabric. The fun part is these accessories can be changed out as often as you like and your budget will thank you in the end! <br />
<br />
Here are fab some sofa's that I've been crushin' on lately - enjoy!<br />

I never did my New Year's post - say what?!? I know, I know, I'm a LOT behind (only by a month), can you believe it's already February - but....HAPPY 2-0-1-3!!!<br />
<br />
<i>(Even though this was written at the beginning of January and never posted, we'll just go ahead and do that now...) </i><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With each new year that comes, it seems that everyone jumps on the boomtastic-sized and sometimes unrealistic resolution bandwagon. These usually last all of about a week or two and then magically reappear on next year's resolution list. I myself have learned that it is far better to set reachable "goals" and then proceed ahead!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few things I'm trying to stash in my little baggie of goals/reminders for this year: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Try to surround myself with people that are positive, uplifting, and those who add a bit of sparkle to my life!<br />
-Live a little simpler! I think we can all benefit from this...<br />
-Be constantly & eternally grateful for the people & things we have in our lives - enough said!<br />
-Be healthy: no hospitals, no surgeries, no major illnesses, no pain - for this I PRAY, for all of us! <br />
-Do what makes you healthy & happy in life. It's never too late to start!<br />
-Take it a little easier on myself! (Sometimes my expectations can be a wee bit high...) <br />
-With Melange Designs, I have a lot of things going on behind the scenes and a lot of ideas churning, so with that said, I hope that this year is full of exciting and fun-filled projects that I can continue to share with all of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With each day that this new year brings, may it too bring peace, love, joy, and happiness to you and those around you! ...here's to an extra sparkly and blessed rest of this year!!</div>

was also really happy at how this one turned out. I decided to paint this table a lighter shade, because sometimes the simpler the better! There was a lot of detail to this table's design to begin with, so sweet and simple on the color it was, and I think
it turned out quite nicely. The info and pics of it are below...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
**NOTE: Each of these pieces are for sale unless otherwise noted; feel free to contact me with any questions. Remember - I also do custom requests! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The
3 Tier Table is just a lovely, light grey color, that I
slightly distressed. I then added a bit of dark wax to give the paint a bit of
an aged look. The dark wax really brings out the details in the claw, ball feet, as well as the carvings! <br />

To be honest, it's probably my favorite piece thus far! I especially ended up loving the fun punch of color I chose for the inside of the drawers! Kind of reminds me of the saying surrounding the mullet hairstyle (horrible analogy, I know); except with this, it's all business on the outside and a party on the inside - HA! The deets and pics of this piece are below... <br />

This Chippendale Low Boy was painted a gorgeous and sophisticated shade of
blue, all the while I decided to mix it up and paint the inside of the
drawers a bright and fun shade of coral. I refinished the original
Chippendale hardware by painting them in a soft hue of gold. I then
waxed this lil' in a clear coat to forever protect the paint and lightly distressed
only a few places to finish off the piece. Hope you like!</div>

In the meantime, here are some lovely, creative, and inspirational pumpkins for Halloween and/or fall (if you paint the faux versions). Can't wait to see all of the fab costumes out there - probably my most fav part of all! <br />

It's been WAY too long since I last posted - I apologize for that! I have been one busy girl since my husband I made the decision that I would transition over from my federal career into my new career of Melange Designs full time!<br />
<br />
Without getting way too personal on ya - it's not something we had at all planned for. But, after the numerous surgeries and recommendations/advice from my amazing neurosurgeon at the Mayo Clinic, we quickly realized that I was not going to be able to tolerate (pain-wise) a full-time desk job, or not at this time in my life anyway. It was one of the toughest decisions, one we prayed long and hard about, but one that God completely led us towards! <br />
<br />
Now, to get back to where I'm at now... I've really had to hit the ground running and have kept busy with pretty much anything I can get my hands on. As an appetizer, I'll start with posting a few shots of my very first antique furniture redesign project I worked on. That's not all I've been working on, but more on that later...<br />
<br />
As a side note - each of the pieces I post are for sale, unless otherwise noted as such. I hope you all enjoy and if you have any questions/comments and/or project inquiries for me, please feel free to contact me! I can always do custom color requests and/or even paint pieces that you already own. <br />

Everything associated with them, makes an adult (myself included) ooh and ahh, all the while making those silly faces with the squinty eyebrows. I'm even willing to bet there's a few of you trying it right now.<br />
There's no secret in the fact that all things bebe's and kid's are just so much more adorb because they all look like they made it onto the set of the movie<em> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097523/">Honey, I Shrunk the Kids</a></em>. (If you don't get the analogy on that one, GASP, let me stop for a second because I just realized I'm getting old.) I'm simply meaning that everything of theirs is just so darn cute because they're like the miniature version of everything great to be had! Not to mention, they come in the cutest patterns, prints, colors ever imaginable and as adults, we secretly desire to have one of almost everything they own, and be able to get away with it! <br />
Prepare to Ooh and ahh below - while making THAT face of course.... ;)<br />

It's quite simple; it's almost summer, it's blistering hot outside, and who doesn't love a relaxing and inviting (one that makes you either daydream or jump right in while looking at it) pool? <br />
They are inviting, soothing, and will most definitely leave you feeling refreshed and invigorated after taking a dip! Even if you don't particularly enjoy swimming in a pool, who doesn't love to at least gush at their pure aesthetical charm and architectural beauty? All the while, one simply can't help but enjoy being surrounded by lush gardens and gorgeous pool houses! Whichever kind of pool lover you are, take a peek below, and please, try not to drool - I dare you!<br />

In the case you haven't noticed (as in had your eyes open), BRIGHT and BRIGHTER is everywhere you turn; YAY, I say! I've always loved me some brightness! Whether that brightness was incorporated into something in my wardrobe or into something home decor-related, I continue to ask for an extra helping. Even as a young lad (severe tomboy stage we're talking), I always rocked something outrageously (& painfully) bright! With this deep seeded love for all things bright and colorful, you can imagine how excited I was to begin seeing all these fab lovelies coming back - and in a big, BOOM-tastic way! Now, to go find my shades - enjoy!<br />

Blog name & site - check! Blog itself - check! Logo - check! Now, meet my latest addition; my new and very own, custom, hand-carved LOGO STAMP - check & check! <br />
<br />
This is all in good fun of course; nothing too serious, because I do have a real job, but while I'm at home recovering, what else do I have to do besides looking at and drooling over gorgeous interior design images on the internet?!? ;) Now back to the stamp! <br />
<br />
I searched high and low and finally came across this Etsy shop: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/brownpigeon">Brown Pigeon</a>, by Meagan Lewis. Not only was she amazing to work with, but her hand-carved stamps are such great quality and really speak for themselves!<br />
<br />
I simply contacted her, via etsy, and ended up sending her a b&w image of my logo. After that, she began her magic and let me just tell you, she actually hand-carves these babies, from scratch! For custom orders, it takes 4-6 business days until you get your proof, via email. After you approve her proof, she then makes your stamp. Can I just say what an amazingly beautiful job she does - so talented she is! Thanks again, Meagan! It has truly been a pleasure working with you and I cannot be more excited to begin using my new stamp!<br />
<br />
Below, are a few pics of my latest addition, for you enjoyment. <br />

If you're not familiar with this style/term, here's some quick little background for you. Campaign furniture was introduced in the 18th and 19th centuries and was made to travel with and breakdown easily. It was an extremely popular choice for and highly demanded by the traveling soldiers during that time. Probably the most popular piece of that time and what we are now starting to see again is what is called the chest of drawers, often referred to the campaign or military chest. It has such a sophisticated and classic look to it, yet still somehow maintains a masculine elegance about it. <br />
<br />
If I ever find that right piece, I will be snagging it right up and making it over asap! In the meantime, I will show you a few amazing DIY and hack versions that I have come across lately.<br />

OK, so these next 4 pictures are ALL of the SAME piece. Yes, you read that right... The first time around, it was refinished from black to white. Then a few years later, the top (piece with shelves) was cut off. The bottoms were then carefully and securely attached to each other and it soon became the most fab kitchen island, ever! This is by far my most favorite of all the makeovers; what an amazing job they did!</div>

I love me some fresh flowers and especially love being able to go outside, cut a stem off, and put them in a lovely vase! Flowers don't have to be complicated or expensive. Even a single flower in a bud vase can add just that perfect touch. Flowers are like sunshine in a bottle; they can brighten anyone's day! Here's to you having a bright and fab spring!<br />

<br />
<br />
OK, with that part out of the way, if you do happen to follow a good deal of blogs (like me), then this is actually a great website for you! I just discovered it a few days ago and am already thinking, I'm really liking this!<br />
It basically boils down to the following: You can find and add ALL of the blogs you love and follow, and have them ALL in ONE place! You won't have to go back and forth, between each and every blog site anymore, just go to your bloglovin account and there she is - all of them. It will even show and tell you (on the blogs that you follow) which are new posts, that you haven't read yet. Enjoy!<br />

It's no secret that <a href="http://www.dashandalbert.com/">Dash & Albert</a> have some lovely and durable <a href="http://www.dashandalbert.com/indoor-outdoor-rugs">indoor/outdoor rugs</a> for the taking. Having owned a few of these rain or shine beauties, I can attest that they are in fact visually striking, as well as durable. You literally can just throw these in the washing machine - shut the front door! </div>

Here's a few that are inspiring to look at. They would look amazing in your house, on your porch or patio, especially this time of year! There is no one place they belong, which is always comforting, so feel free to close your eyes and scatter them wherever they shall land. <br />
Wondering how much they all get along with dogs though....<br />

I actually do own this rug, so I can give a little personal review on it. I have the navy blue version and after swooning over it for a while, waiting til there was a sale, plus having an extra coupon, I went in for the kill! I had already looked at it in the store and was actually surprised at how much this indoor/outdoor rug actually felt like an indoor rug. It came and in the dining room it went. I loved the look of it, but quickly realized it and dogs were not the best of friends. Being hand hooked in a loop also means dog nails pick out these loops. I've had to do a lot of trimming of the said loops ever since and thus, am officially on the hunt for a better version for our dog friends. </div>

After a great deal of divulging my personal style, preferences, likes & dislikes, etc., this is the custom logo she created for me! I would highly recommend her, as I think she did an amazing job!<br />

inspiration behind my search for the perfect outdoor rug, is thanks in full to
these three - see below. I lurve our dear Quincy, Josie, and Rio to death, but finding rugs
that cooperate well with these doggies (in the house) is anything but clear-cut
and simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s so complicated and
frustrating to try to find THAT perfect rug – in terms of looks & design,
as well as functionality – with three dogs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the design world, there is seriously a lacking for gorgeous/dog-friendly
rugs! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

To remind you; my particular dilemma is simply what to do with them. They are plain, ivory, dupioni silk drapes and I want to jazz them up a little. My last DIY design idea for what to do to them is to simply paint them. <br />
To me, there are fewer options in this category, as opposed to stenciling them. The color selections in this category are still immense, but the actual patterns/styles to paint are somewhat limited. Painting drapes is similar to stenciling them, but a little more lenient and stress-free. As always, below are some DIY inspiring ideas.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">OK, so back to
the whole dilemma (from </span><a href="http://melangedesigns.blogspot.com/2012/02/to-dye-for-drapes.html"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">yesterday's post</span></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">) of exactly
what/how to change up my curtains. Another idea I've been entertaining -
actually stenciling them myself! There are so many options in this category, as
opposed to dying them. Not to mention, there are literally endless options when
it comes to the actual stencil design and paint color. Here are a few images of
inspiration.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Before we get started, I should also
mention that a way to keep the costs down for your own <span style="background: yellow;">DIY</span>
custom stenciled curtains is to use <u>painter's drop cloths</u>. Yes, you read
that correctly. I'm talking the same drop cloths you can purchase at any paint
or home improvement store. They come in various sizes and have a nice weight to
them - perfect for drapery. </span><br />

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If your next thought immediately goes
to, "...but, I can't sew." Well, there is a solution for that as
well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Below are two brands of
"no-sew" bonding tape, which works perfectly for making that ideal
hem, without the whole sewing part. These can be purchased at any craft store.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">OK, let me just first mention that these are not stenciled -
but an inspiration for a possible stencil design! The pattern is actually
hand-stitched and they are <span style="background: yellow;">gorg</span> in person. They are from Ballard
Designs and while I have loved everything about these for a while now, well
except for the cost. The price for 4 - 96" panels (for just 1 of my
windows) would be over $800!</span><br />

Not sure if you're aware or not, but when it comes to fabric paints, the selection is a little lack thereof. There aren't that many colors to choose from, the bottles are small, and the price is large. So, in doing some research, if you click on this link above, here's the lowdown on how to get a lot of paint for a lot less change. </div>

OK, so now let me go clean up all the beans I've just spilled. In the meantime, I'll leave you with some branding & logo love.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80′s arrived at the hospital to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. The nurse took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’ He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ‘She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.’"</div>
