We love color too much! White just isn't us. I appreciate the delicate simplicity of white and muted tones with well-placed art or colorful furniture that pops, but here in the Lichtenberger house it's all in living color. That's just who we are. It probably causes some of our guests to get a headache and for that, I apologize. However, it's warm and calming for us to have our idea of beautiful surrounding us.
World Market is my favorite. Jeka found these curtains online during their friends and family sale. My sister knows what I love and she was searching high and low for me, because I had become a little obsessed with finding just the right curtains that weren't too plain and would match our color scheme, but wouldn't break the bank! One evening she came over with a glimmer in her eye and said she had found the perfect curtains. She was right! I was head over heels and when I saw the price plus an extra 25% off, I was sold. We bought new heavier rods at Ross (of course) for like $13 each and raised them above the window to try to pull the weight of the room up. (Jenn's suggestion.) I am so glad we did. I can totally tell the difference.
Now we just have to take the lower rods down and sew the off-white curtains on back to line them so the sun doesn't fade my brilliant colors out.
The new red throw pillows and tray are also from Ross...love that place.
Our kitchen to back porch door...
Is it stained glass or film? You'll never know unless you examine it in person.
Jesse picked these beauties for me on this rainy day from our garden.
We have 3 rose bushes. These pink ladies are from the baby. The other two produce red roses. One of them was originally planted by the first owner 100 years ago.
It is ginormous.
The Princess Leia glass is a part of our new Star Wars set...from Ross.
Oh, and I had to capture the girls' Easter bunnies while they are still white.
{Maybe that is why we like color so much?!}
