My obsession to finish my house has continued.  You may remember my search for the perfect rug for my living room. Since I finally settled on a grey and cream zig-zag design, I am now focusing on curtains. I look at curtains all day, everyday! It is a sickness that won’t end until I decide on what to do. I really want to add some texture and pattern to the room (that is full of basics right now). In my search for the perfect mix or playful and chic I have become obsessed with all things malachite. Green is one of my favorite colors and when it is mixed with blacks and whites in the perfect pattern – what could be better. I have been drawn to little malachite accessories, like boxes, trays, and plates but now I am moving into fabric. I have ordered three fabric swatches from Spoon Flower and am eagerly awaiting their arrival. Since my windows go around the entire house I plan to only put curtains at the two which face the street. I think it will tie the area together and make it feel a little cozier.

I also plan to add a neon sign above the T.V. which I am currently having made. And I ordered these beautiful prints from One Kings Lane to go on each side of the windows. The best part of everything I have ordered? I can always find a place for the items to go. If I hate the drapes or paintings in the living room, I can just throw them in a spare bedroom – so I feel a little better about ordering all of these “final sale” items.  Everything is coming together, but it is a SLOOOWWWW process to get it exactly how you want it. Since the hubs and I are planning to be here for at least another year, I feel I need to finish it before I go insane. I am excited to keep you posted on the progress!
