• ~A New Design Path~

  There are always rooms and spaces at The Painted Nest which need some sprucing up. Our beloved cottage is in a constant state of  “creation”. And I love it, I certainly do For me, color is my companion. So imagine my beloved’s shock, when this color palette was placed before him! Admittedly, this would be a new path for me. The Muse has creamy antique white accents throughout her cottage…but there is not a room which totally embraces the hue. [...]

• “Tablescape Tuesday” ~ Picture

  White dishware can offer so many options… Each holiday or event can be celebrated with basic pieces of white china or stoneware. For this Christmas table, the colors of silver and blue are combined with white to create this modern setting…the objective…to create an effect that would play off the branches (seen in the vases)… Add some wispy white feathers, blue and white snowflake tablecloth, miniature tea lights,(sprinkled with gold glitter) and a few silver ornaments…voila, the table becomes an [...]

  The options for tile are almost limitless. It is easy to be lured in to the purchase of blending tiles, creating a mix and match elaborate pattern can be very appealing. And yet, so much can be done with a singularity of choice.
