Now if you could just find some to hold up the Ikea cube, then you could swap back the cabinet when Brian wanted to see it again! If only!

M...I love what you did with the tray, very unique. My problem is that I don't have enough walls . . . they are all full and I wish I had more. I've been wanting to put up a design wall for quilting, but I just can't make myself take other favorite things down to create the space for it. You certainly gave your blog the perfect name. Your home always looks so inviting and comfortable; the way a home should be. I think that some people get the words "home" and "display-room" mixed up. To me a home should be pretty and clean but also a place to kick off your shoes (and your bra, if no one is coming over) and relax and be yourself.

Then again, we hang on to stuff for sentimental reasons when it no longer really serves us. Funny that you are ready for change and Brian is the one that might not be ready to let go. :) You could always just get rid of the cart and find a bookshelf that would be the height of where you have the frame on the right. That would balance everything out and you'd have room for those things you want to display/store there, rather than hanging something else. I have zero wall space ... hanging things and filling up empty spots has never been a problem for me. :) Have a wonderful Wednesday!Tammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-29518154545100540412017-07-26T00:45:04.855-07:002017-07-26T00:45:04.855-07:00How great that you made your own art, far more ind...How great that you made your own art, far more individual!Amy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-89356992704326270822017-07-25T23:01:24.999-07:002017-07-25T23:01:24.999-07:00I love your new art and that cute stool with the p...I love your new art and that cute stool with the plant.<br /><br />I never have blank walls with Steve's art.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-2699211882546464902017-07-25T19:51:42.087-07:002017-07-25T19:51:42.087-07:00I love your new art!

Or having something similar to the plant , stool, and framed pieces on the other side of the cabinet, instead of the rolling cart. It's a pretty cabinet just like it is, but painting it may be an option for a pop of color!Little Penpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374048900216199298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-58422630321414272742017-07-25T13:59:05.366-07:002017-07-25T13:59:05.366-07:00I like what you did with the frame and tray, very ...I like what you did with the frame and tray, very nice. The two canvases that you hung look great too.<br /><br />Maybe you could move the china cabinet to where the stool and your new artwork are hanging, with the IKEA cabinet then in the larger open space? Just a thought. I can understand your husband not wanting to get rid of it for sentimental reasons. Could you paint it? Don't stress but relax and something will come to you.<br /><br />Have a great week ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-65859517597486074832017-07-25T11:23:34.883-07:002017-07-25T11:23:34.883-07:00Cute idea with the tray and frame...sometimes thin...Cute idea with the tray and frame...sometimes things just pop out at you and you know they are just right! <br />I think the cubes would be a great idea. I know you said the first floor doesn't have a place for it--but how about downstairs as a storage/decorative piece? Just hard when you like something and it has some meaning to you but doesn't really fit into what you want to do with your home.

I might try that first instead of getting rid of it altogether, it's such a nice piece of furniture, but you have to do what works for the space in your house. I finally got a china cabinet after about 7 years of marriage - part of a used set with table and chairs from IKEA that I bought on Craigslist. It's nothing special, but it was so nice to finally unpack my better set of dishes that had only been in boxes in the closet before that. I have often thought I'd enjoy having open shelves or some kind of cube storage instead, but it works for now. Hope you're having a good week, Melanie.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-8791496759894258322017-07-24T21:56:09.420-07:002017-07-24T21:56:09.420-07:00I really like the frame and tray---it is such a c...I really like the frame and tray---it is such a creative idea and looks fantastic! I also like the canvas prints. Sometimes I look at some of my art and little pieces downstairs and I have a whole new liking for them, just no place to put them!<br /><br />I like the cabinet but sometimes we evolve and want to try new things. Is there someone in your family who might want it? You want a good home for it, I'm sure.<br /><br />I'm enjoying the nice temps, aren't you? Please let it stay this way for a while!<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.com
