The End of the Chevron -- Almost

You know about my dining room curtains ... and how they're an awesome navy blue chevron (zig-zag) pattern. Well, since they went up, I've been working on incorporating the pattern on the other side of the room to "tie everything together" to use an interior designer term. Cuz, I'm fancy.

Well, as of last night I finished the throw pillows. AND Target delivered my grey chevron slipper chair. So, yeah ... we're all chevron in this part of the house. Happy me!

Grey Chair - Brings Together Grey Walls and Zig-Zags

Wellllll ... almost done. As I posted last week, the valences from the dining room are a GO. But I'm going to de-prioritize that work until the new year. My To-Make list is filled with holiday gift projects. It's that jolly time of year! 

(Editor's Note: Grams, that's the chair you found on the Target website and sent to me. I did some comparison shopping, and that was the best deal and chair. Thanks for contributing to my decorating madness!)

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
