Shelving

Gardening is something that I enjoy but living in a condo there can be some obstacles when trying to grow plants. There was a good amount of light in the dining area, but there was no space for plants besides the dining room table. So I decided a shelf would be the perfect solution.

I chose a crisp, white modern shelf to match the curtains and light in the kitchen. The shelf is almost as wide as the wall for maximum storage space and I hung it so the items placed on it would be at eye level.

Once the shelf was up, the wall looked plain so I hung a couple pieces of art staggered above it to create some interest and make the wall look finished.

Kitchen Lighting

Coming up on three years in September, I bought a condo. Since then I've discovered that I have a passion for fixing the place up. I always have things I am working on or want to improve and this is where I will showcase them.

Before moving in, I painted the entire condo in a light grey satin finish paint. This had to be done because I just could not live with orangey-pink walls, old lady wall paper and a randomly brown room.

The second update to the condo came unexpectedly when the "sky light" fell down in the kitchen. I had a lot of options to replace it with, but I was unsure about what style I wanted. I chose an energy effecient modern drum light with an artistic giclee canvas shade from Lamps Plus. This set the tone for the updates to come.
