Texture
Happy Monday... Busy weekend.. I have been painting and sprucing up to get the house ready to sell our selves... I just had to pause as I was packing some odds and ends away... with the wonderful textures around me.. I'm constantly looking for inspiration around me and I didn't even stop and realize I had inspiration right in my own bedroom... This is one of my bedside table lamps.. I smudged my self out of the reflection..but I just love the silver sheen these lamps have.. smooth and cool to the touch.. mini gazing balls.
This is a beautiful white rose wreath that hangs over our bed. Now with the chocolate froth walls and white trim..soft pristine folds right above our head...
Here is an antique picture that hangs on our door... simple.. the gilded frame adds a beautiful ridged trim...
Now to my favorite! I love birds nests... something about the intricate weave of the grass and fibers makes me feel all cozy.. Aren't the smooth eggs lovely? The colors are a wonderful tan and the faintest of blue... wonderful inspiration for my blog colors! I'll have to play around with that later. So lets see we have; smooth, ridges, soft, thread like...
This is the inspiration for the Mothers Nest available in the Shoppe 








Lovely post! I did a post a long time ago on textures and went all over my house hunting for them. I took pictures and then I put them together in a slide show to share with everone, just for fun! It is great to slow down long enough to enjoy simple pleasures like that!
Hope your packing is going well. Moving is always stressful, but exciting at the same time!
Blessings,
Melissa
