If you have been following me for any length of time, you know that I am trying to bring the color tones in our home lighter and airier.  It is a fun job, and causes me to create and try new ideas all the time.  AND, I love the color blue.  If it’s blue, I need to have it or find a way to make it work in our home.

Since I LOVE blue so much-I thought it would be FUN to have a “Monday Blues” post every Monday.  Then I can share what I love and what I love to do.

My Invitation to you:

I would like to invite you to share your “Monday Blues”, too.  Email me YOUR “Blue” pictures or ideas, and I will be glad to share them the following Monday!!  My email is: whatmeeganmakes{at}gmail {dot}com  I am excited to see what you “Blues” you have to share!!  If you email me in html format-that would work best.

Here is “My VERY FIRST Monday Blues”:

This is what I did in a small space in our bedroom that was something simple but made a BIG difference:

This was a little maple stained table from my grandparents.  I painted the table white, then painted over it with light blue craft paint-yep, craft paint.  I really like how the white comes through as well as the wood after I sanded it.

I found the Mason jar for a $1 at the thrift store then filled it with Grandma’s button cards.  I LOVE that they all still have buttons attached.

I painted the bamboo pot, and tied twine around it.  I painted the terracotta pot white with some paint that I found for $1 on the “Oops Table” at Home Depot-SCORE!!

I like numbers.  I am not sure why, but I like them.  I wanted a number on this pot.  The number 9 sticks out for me-we have 7 children, then with Hubby and me makes 9.  Awesome!  No.9 it is.

I simply practiced making a No.9 on a piece of paper.  When I got enough courage to use a permanent marker and wrote No.9.  Yep, that simple and that easy!
