Wall Frosting

As an interior design aficionado, I know that taste in art is preeminently important in making a room comfortable. No matter how much you invest in furniture, the blank canvas of your walls must be addressed! In this vein, the issue of decorating with color weaves itself into the challenge. One should incorporate the warm base colors of the room into the wall hangings(tapestries, canvases, etc), while subtly departing from the color scheme in order to avoid being monochromatic.

In my home, I am feverently devoted to the work of Natasha Wescoat. I decorate in warm colors (ruby, chocolate, pumpkin) in order to give the room a cozy feel. Her work incorporates these tones in the subject of abstract trees. I have these three pieces, and I plan buying more.

My wish list

The Christmas holidays are only 45 days away as of this post (doesn't sound too far away now does it, slackers?). I am really excited about decking out Casa de Wagner in full festive regalia this year. I usually buy all of my Christmas decorations from the thrift shop next door then donate them back at the end of the holidays. I can't wait to see what tacky finds await me this week.

Another Christmas idea I have for you readers is kaboodle.com. For those of us who are more on the materialistic side,(don't be ashamed, I unabashedly include myself in this category) you can create an online wishlist for yourself! Anyone can search for your name on the website and access your list, which resembles a department store gift registry with quantity desired, color, size, and priority with which you desire the gift. All you have to do is find an item online that you want, click the kaboodle toolbar, and it's instantly on your list.
