New post on Honeypot and my whole world is misty blue… by osunyoyin now that i've been turned on to painting... it is ANYBODYS game folks i'm gettin ready to do this accent wall in here.  gem turquoise...i followed my mother's advice and got the kind that has primer IN the paint. cause who needs that additional step. i decided on the color above by bher and i've been thinkin' on spray painting my photo frames to make them pop against that wall and considering what elements i want to use in putting it together long before it became popular my momma always loved to have a whole lotta stuff on the wall as i got older...i realized that i do too i call it a "junky wall"  it can have anything on it...from framed postcards to an old license plate a tambourine just whatever moves me here lately in decor i started seeing walls like this pop up gallery wall   i love that! though it's a lil bit more than i'm actually going for but the above pic looks like a collection of trinkets that you'd find in your grandparents' dresser drawers. i love the trend of adding letters in to the mix.   i want to do something similar on the wall behind my couch...once it's completely turquoise i'm gonna rummage through my bins and see what i have and whatnot over on ladybird and fellow they did something wonderful over their mantle i LOVE the look of what they achieved in this photo with air plants and driftwood. larger photo of what ladybird and fellow" mantlepiece masterpiece.   now i don't want to do that on a large scale...but to have a short piece of wood...or maybe a longer one depending on what i find/how i feel and then do some air plants hanging from it/nestled on it and maybe  hang one of these luscious feather ornaments on it as well. feather ornaments from merridian.com   i'm also not opposed to adding one of these exquisite things to the mix...to hang my feather ornament from. so yeah...a partially live gallery/accent wall.  i'm down wit it.     osunyoyin | December 25, 2011 at 1:36 am | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pyz6b-5r Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

New post on Honeypot “satisfaction…i have the right tactics…” © q-tip by osunyoyin i'm feeling deeply satisfied... scented candles burning bathed and oiled and replete with ethiopian food wearing a silk kimono under my FAVORITE throw sitting on my golden couch  toes enjoying the texture of my rug and listening to my jazzy christmas station that i created on pandora i know things are coming together in my home when i cannot WAIT to get home  JUST to sit inside of the sanctuary that i've created for myself... and i'mmon tell y'all what i'm not finna mention that i want my walls painted too many more times before i go on and do it my blessed self... i just want some accent walls done... and i've been inspired to stencil some curtains... i plan to gather up some simple sailcloth curtains and doll them up with this  i'm actually considering using it on my side tables too i was initially gonna top them with fabric i have two more major purchases to make my pots and my tv after that...people will be hard pressed to get me to leave my house... seriously... and THAT is how i know i'm doin' the damned thing! *blissful sigh*         osunyoyin | December 9, 2011 at 3:12 am | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pyz6b-4Q Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

New post on Honeypot i have had an awesome visit with my family… by osunyoyin nobody knew that i was coming except for my brother after thanksgiving dinner...he told the fam that he was going to pick up a special dessert and when we got home... he said the chocolate mousse has arrived and i stuck my head around the corner my parents were suitably shocked and delighted this morning when i came in to the living room my mom said OH YOU'RE STILL HERE! I DIDN'T DREAM IT! i missed these people!!! and i'd partially forgotten how irritating my father can be the tension in my shoulders is easing a bit well water tastes AWESOME it feels nice to sleep in my old bed in my old room i've been going through my comic collection... my mom pronounced that she is "tired of all this singleness" i raised my eyebrows and said oh...YOU'RE tired of it? LMAO i sat with my paternal grandmother yesterday and she told me stories about her parents. including the fact that the sewing machine in her bedroom was purchased for her by her father when she was 14. her sewing machine looks JUST like this one today i went and saw my mom's parents i asked my granny if she had any napkins that she'd embroidered that she'd let me have. she took the napkins that were on her table at that moment and told me that i could go through her cedar chest and get whatever i wanted! i got a runner...a table cloth and two pillow cases! i am SO so excited! then i sat in the living room with my mom, dad and brother and watched charlie brown. took a nap woke up and watched conan the barbarian and my mom taught me double crochet. i'll be back in about 4 weeks. *sigh* lovely to visit and i'm looking forward to next time... but i'm glad that  i don't still live here osunyoyin | November 27, 2011 at 4:40 am | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pyz6b-4M Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
