Pretty colour combinations revisited

I'm re-posting this, as it managed to get a little lost yesterday in all the excitement, and it also gives me the chance to add a pic from the latest issue of <a href="http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/home-beautiful/">Home Beautiful</a> magazine. This laundry/powder room is so bright and beautiful, with such happy colourss. And even though it's really out of character colour-wise for me, I love it! Maybe it's all the gloomy, rainy weather we're having that's making me crave sunshine, and if you can't have the real thing, just add it in the form of wallpaper and some pretty yellow penny round tiles.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Cabinet of curiosities

One of the advantages of living on acreage is having the space for a shed. A big shed. Big enough to <strike>hoard</strike> store all manner of vintage treasures, collected over years of thrift shop and garage sale stalking. Over the weekend, I managed to re-visit some of the pieces I have stashed away, and found these cabinets.<br /><br />The blue hutch has the original, crazed painted finish, which is just gorgeous, so I'm looking for a new finish for the interior. I'm leaning towards painting, to complement the simple, rustic appearance:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWni5iMM5QPy8tHGXZfwGUe7V3_QTRt0DeyczJ-DAMccOKQmVsaKKAZ43dQQuCoJOoVCHbCkVk4-utXIsqyGvedpfrgZ1Fx78tBHjQrl82UfW95lSdBeZxBQI69MdQ7DYJsW-5-sGRQiU/s1600/DSC02334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWni5iMM5QPy8tHGXZfwGUe7V3_QTRt0DeyczJ-DAMccOKQmVsaKKAZ43dQQuCoJOoVCHbCkVk4-utXIsqyGvedpfrgZ1Fx78tBHjQrl82UfW95lSdBeZxBQI69MdQ7DYJsW-5-sGRQiU/s640/DSC02334.JPG" width="408" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF1pjrNDMSKzVKgDOpVJyGT28FHsC-B2ZcZg7SWIAqd7SlFu5QqeOR1IUr98-aT0tVR2nrMx-CL68AmZeBresPwp3UJOVDqnwi40tVe3ofjcn_zTN0eSzRQm9zWsNYQunrHUfP3AmaopA/s1600/DSC02338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF1pjrNDMSKzVKgDOpVJyGT28FHsC-B2ZcZg7SWIAqd7SlFu5QqeOR1IUr98-aT0tVR2nrMx-CL68AmZeBresPwp3UJOVDqnwi40tVe3ofjcn_zTN0eSzRQm9zWsNYQunrHUfP3AmaopA/s320/DSC02338.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">...maybe something simple like this: </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4s4Ky6gI9b3KQ2hTY0DWqK-Dsafaso5WQkVGD_64pvc3b5EarRCfKH51cB5WBfNZSedapv0Z1rQtjP2nhRsyQ2k1Cp5SwiOtjGXxT2ttn7cqZD8IDxjTHAYScHJ5_lWDl8_y89TlyfS8/s1600/cupboard+via+738nicola+wordpress+com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4s4Ky6gI9b3KQ2hTY0DWqK-Dsafaso5WQkVGD_64pvc3b5EarRCfKH51cB5WBfNZSedapv0Z1rQtjP2nhRsyQ2k1Cp5SwiOtjGXxT2ttn7cqZD8IDxjTHAYScHJ5_lWDl8_y89TlyfS8/s400/cupboard+via+738nicola+wordpress+com.jpg" width="312" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">via <a href="http://738nicola.wordpress.com/">738nicola.wordpress.com</a></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLgDvp4-HX00S2NHL_SvKob_aZDBGbX6kxF8BB8_Kthy5AV5ARHE_y7ruRvJuv5dmHcGz4c9mg6eOL8K-nuSDxb1xzcLdkmr55CQ7CZZdyTb1lflCuS2Zvq2v_sSBk1L-9zsH-Hlm_eKY/s1600/cupboard+via+lauracaseyinteriors+blogspot+com+picture-45.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLgDvp4-HX00S2NHL_SvKob_aZDBGbX6kxF8BB8_Kthy5AV5ARHE_y7ruRvJuv5dmHcGz4c9mg6eOL8K-nuSDxb1xzcLdkmr55CQ7CZZdyTb1lflCuS2Zvq2v_sSBk1L-9zsH-Hlm_eKY/s400/cupboard+via+lauracaseyinteriors+blogspot+com+picture-45.jpg" width="287" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> via <a href="http://lauracaseyinteriors.com/">lauracaseyinteriors.com</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The second piece has been varnished a truly awful, streaky brown, which will soon be covered in a fresh coat of paint.
