Ruby Tuesday: a new living room

we moved recently and we are all so loving this hotel vibe that this smaller but cozier place resonates. for me it’s more of a ’starting-anew’ or ’starting-all-over’ phase once again. and as always, what goes with moving is the opportunity to practice my craft in interior design. so my good ‘ol turquoise and chocolate brown theme is now the color of spring-summer-fall rolled into one. winter is all behind us now…so to speak! think blood oranges…cinnamon, pumpkin and some chunky chocolates.  which used to be the color scheme of my NY bedroom, then it went to my daughter’s bedroom in our previous house here in Mass…and now has evolved into my living room.

i even have a new comfy sofa! it is in chocolate brown and i am just trying to protect it from two not-so-spill-proof-critters…[read:my lovely kids] hee! design, painting, arranging, organizing has all been taken cared of [except for the kids room, wherein organizing and cleaning is never ending! geesh!] and this is the exact reason why i haven’t been blogging and cooking [or vice versa] much lately. see? this is what i get so hyped about moving, the creativity part. and there’s still more to be accomplished…sewing some panels, cushion covers probably, some artworks to be painted by my artsy daughter and /or created by another artsy me and some shelvings, frames to be hung still…notice that almost bare wall with just one artwork?  i am still contemplating on other options to put up there.

…as for the kitchen, stay tuned as that’s another story:] on my Saturday/Sunday post to be exact.
