Inspiration: Decorating with Branches

The Knot In our eco cottage style, I think branches would be the perfect accent for parts of the living room. We recently added two bookshelves to the room and so far, they have nothing on top. Seasonal decor for Halloween was up for a while, but now they host two lonely pumpkins and that's it. So I started looking for some tree/wooded/natural looking decor, can came across these inspirational photos.

Finally!

The new washer and dryer are here! They were delivered on Friday afternoon and Francisco came this morning and connected everything. Do you think I can get my installation fee back? Here are some photos. We're planning to put up a screen a la Young House Love in front on the hot water heater so when I ran out of leftover living room paint right next to the darn thing I said screw it and called it a day! These are two small prints on metal that my friend Stephanie encouraged me to buy while we were exploring a little shop at Avila Beach. So glad I did. Thanks Steph! Because I was not in love with the dozens of crisscrossing wires that helped light the room, I've opted for a nice little eco friendly lamp. This one came from Southern California Edison's Lamp Exchange Program. The floors have taken a beating in this process so we'll repaint/polish the concrete again at a later time. I'm just glad to have my own laundry room!!!!

Changing It Up

While we love the wallflowers we've hung above the television, I've never been 100% satisfied with how it looks. So we've decided to change it up and we have two options we're considering. 1) Collage Frames The idea of hanging photos and shadow boxes in a collage has always appealed to me. But I'd never considered hanging them around a TV until I saw Emily A. Clark's photos on her amazing blog which you can check out here . I just love this idea and I've been collecting similar photos ever since. Emily has a bit of a nautical theme going on, but I bet you can guess that we'd be going with a more tree centered look. 2) Ceiling Medallions Usually used to accentuate a chandelier on a ceiling, I'm really digging the idea of hanging them on a wall instead. Especially if you paint them all the same color, I think they would look great. And from yet another awesome and inspiring blog Nuestra Vida Dulce that you can check out here .
