Hey there, this is my first blog, so bear with me. Gsnags is from a nickname my husband gave me years ago, when we were dating. My first name is Gail (G), and I had to have a tooth pulled (snaggle-tooth), so he started calling me Snags. I come from a family of seven children, and believe it or not, never had a nickname. Except, my sister Sandra would call me "stinky" sometimes. I love crafting, sewing and decorating, and I love most shades of purple. Lately, I've been fascinated with reading blogs on crafting and decorating. I want to be apart of this so I plan on publishing my thoughts and ideas, too. We just moved into a new home, after thirty-five years in my old house. I am excited about home decor all over again. I have this purple comforter on my bed. It's no longer available from Bed, Bath and Beyond, but I love it. The chair is from Target and is made from a Duralee plum fabric. I have two of them in my living room. I was able to find additional fabric online. How cool is that? I want to make pillows and other decorative items from the fabric, and I need some ideas. I have so many ideas and projects going through my head that I don't know where to start.
As Always,
Beautiful rooms. I'm looking for a round accent table like the white one you have in front of the fireplace.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that the walls of this room are painted. It looks like a gray color. What is the exact color you used? It's subtle and complementary to your furniture colors, which is the way I think wall colors should be.
ReplyDeleteHI Gail,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog today through Thrifty Decor Chick & I just had to comment and say Hi. Purple is my favorite color, I love all shades as well, especially plum. I'm actually in the process of planning out my master bedroom makeover with more plum & grey colors. I love all your plum & purple! I am new to blogging as well. Stop by if you like. www.ourhomeofplenty.com
Although I have had my blog for a year now & love to photograph & blog I have been laid up with some complications from and umilical hernia repair with mesh & just had my 4th surgery to remove the mesh. Hopefully this helps and I can get back to all things fun, decor & crafty. Best of luck with your blog!
What an enjoyable read this is! The origin of your moniker is unusual. I relocated too, and selecting a new single mattress improved the comfort of my apartment. Your décor, with purple tones, sounds great. Making pillows from the leftover cloth will provide something unique. Seeing what other house décor ideas you have excites me. I wish your new blog a great success.

ReplyDeleteWelcome, Gail! It sounds like you’re already off to a great start with your crafting and home decor ideas. I love how you’re planning to incorporate the fabric from your Target chairs into pillows and other items. If you have any smaller rooms or spaces to fill, a single mattress could be a great solution! It’s perfect for making a small but cozy guest bed or even a comfortable reading nook. You could use your sewing skills to make it a true reflection of your creative style, adding color and texture that matches your beautiful purple theme. I can’t wait to see what you make!
