I’ve Got The Monday Blues

March 11, 2013 By Meegan 4 Comments

Good Blue Monday to you!! How was your weekend?? What keeps you busy?? This past week I had the flu…Boo!! It really knocked me for a loop. But I am feeling much better. And blue always makes me feel better, that’s why I’ve got the Monday Blues.

Today I am taking a little different approach to my Monday Blues. I thought it would be fun to show you a couple of the blues in our “new” office. The reveal for the office will be soon, but until then here are just a few blues that make me smile.

We say this is our office, but it is really a bedroom with one whole wall being a closet. It used to be our TV Room, but after moving a few things around we have transitioned this room into an office. The room is so much more convenient and useful like this. As you walk in the office from the living room, there is a tiny wall on the left. And my blue framed silhouettes of our kids fit this space just right.

I've Got The Monday Blues This is the perfect home for these lovely blue frames. We had them done when all of our kids were small. The frames were black but I couldn’t resist and painted them with Turquoise Mist by Olympic. The silhouettes blend with our gallery wall now.

I've Got The Monday Blues This candle stand also adorns the tiny wall. When I bought her she was gold. But, that didn’t last long.

I've Got The Monday Blues I painted these jars and vase for a wedding last Summer. Tying them with twine adds texture and an aged look. They make me smile with Tiffany blue.

They are sitting on top of our bookshelf:

I've Got The Monday Blues I bought this lovely at Target. The white back was too stark, so I added pieces of scrapbook paper to add depth and color. She looks much better, don’t you think??

You will also find another blue in our office. This thrifted shelf I found for $3. She is hanging just above our computer desk. (where I am sitting right now) It is refreshing to look up and see this delightful shelf.

Now you can see why I’ve got the Monday Blues. Gotta love me the Monday Blues.

I’ve got the blues every Monday, so come back again next week:

Happy Monday!!! I’ve got the Monday Blues-but in a good way!! Gotta love me some blues and to share them with you!!

House of Turquoise

What is not to love about this blue bedroom?? From the headboard, footboard, to the blue picture, and the blue poms. And then the dark wood floor to hightligh all of it. Love this look.

Lamps Plus

Oh, to have a tub like this!! The blue walls, the shutter, the chandelier, and then the towel armoire. Pure blue perfecton in this room.

Martha Stewart

Who would have thought?? Blue ombre staircase spindles!! Genius blue idea!!

Cottage Chic Store

This blue cupbaord is pure inspiration for me. The books, shells, birds all inspire me. And look at the handles and key holes in the drawers!!! Icing on the cake for this blue love!!

Can’t it Be Mine

How cute is this playhouse?? The deck painted gray is just the right touch for the aqua door. I think the grand babies need a play house….

Now for my fave Monday Blues in our home:

This little cute cupboard was just adorable in the 90s with a painted cherub on the front. Then she was bright red. When we moved in here, I knew she needed to be blue.

This beauty finds her home in our guest bathroom. Just the right spot for her. She holds our toilet paper, along with a few added embellishments on top. The green stencil flows with our TV Room, right through the bathroom door.

I’ve got the Monday blues after after seeing all of these gorgeous blues?? Don’t you??

Monday Blues-Wrapped and Stenciled Monograms

February 25, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

I have the Monday Blues!! I have them every Monday… And today I want to share my fave blue in our home this week. Wrapped and Stenciled Monograms.

Don’t you just love monograms?? They are everywhere right now-and there are so many varieties! Today I will share 2 that we have in our home…

You have probably seen a twine wrapped chipboard monogram. They are so versatile. They work with vintage, cottage, and eclectic decor. I have used them and have seen several of them used at weddings as well.

For my blue “m” I started out with a styrofoam letter. You can purchase them at any floral supply. You can also purchase any type of letter cut out for this idea and look.

Using my turquoise mist paint from Olympic, I painted my “m”. Once it was dry, I used the same stencil that I used for my Stenciled, Refreshed Rug. Easy!!

The stencil for the “m” monogram was done in Antique White craft paint. I like the stenciled corners as well, as an added touch.

The “R” is for Hubby’s name-rustic and tough. He also lived in Texas for awhile, so this look is perfect for his monogram.

The “m” is more feminine and more like me. And of course, it is blue…

These wrapped and stenciled monograms have found a great home right next to my grandma’s vintage shelf.

Do you have monograms in your home? There are so many ways you could incorporate them. Let me know of your ideas and creative thoughts about monograms. I would love to hear them!!

Join me next Monday for another Monday Blues!!

I hope we can stay connected:
