I'll Take Some Annechovies With That


I'm finally working on the pelmet box for my home office tonight and I am so excited that I finally have the time! The home office has really been on the forefront of my priority list (I picked up a few things at HomeGoods - post to come!) and one of the things left to do is to add some artwork.

We painted the walls in this really light, neutral color ("Papaya" by Benjamin Moore) and although I regret choosing it, I am not about to paint the room all over again. I've actually challenged myself to stick with the color because I really think I can create a space that is fabulous even though the wall color wasn't what I originally had in mind by adding colorful artwork.

Anyways, I've got a lot of artwork and framed photos that I am just dying to put up but there are a few more pieces I wouldn't mind adding to the mix. And that leads me to Annechovie on Etsy. I can't get over Anne's gorgeous prints and paintings. I love all of her works, but I have to say that these ones (above and below) are the ones I've favorited and am thinking of purchasing for the office. What do you guys think?








This, suprisingly, gets my husband's vote.

Love love them all. I hope you are happy with your paint color, it is much easier to change now than after you load the room back with furniture. Of course that is easy for me to say. I don't paint and did you read my post on the playroom green, I did called I am the Goldilocks of Green. Need I say more, my poor hubby painted it three,yes you heard right 3 times, but now Goldilocks is verrrrry happy!!! I love Annechovie's work, so colorful and fun!! Happy weekend Kathysue

Oh! I forgot to mention that I ended up getting the ginger jar print and the trifle print from above, and added this note card set too - http://www.etsy.com/transaction/43653215

I loved the black background in the note card set so much that I had to get them too!

Kathysue sent me to check out your blog. I really like the art you picked out. I am working on a home office as well. I need something for over my desk, and I also have a craft table in there that I want to put some pictures over. The hunt is on!
