My Color Theme & Some Quick Upcycled Pottery

Ready for the first project post in this series? You bet I am! Check out the reveal HERE!
I hate clutter. I think I am becoming more of a “minimalist” every day. Hey, less stuff means less stuff to clean up, right? I love it when everything looks planned and purposeful in a home. To achieve this, design-wise, you should base your designs off of 3 color tones. By doing this, you will give your space a really great flow. Not to say you can’t have other colors, but try to focus on just a few.

 In this space, I choose two neutral tones (white and gold/beige) and one loud “fun” color (teal). Because we are renting, Silas and I decided not to paint, which means all our walls are white. But that’s okay, I LOVE white. It makes everything pop! I brought in lots of neutrals with baskets, gold accessories, and the natural wood stain on the desk and shelves. And then I had fun with my large & colorful statement pieces to bring a punch of boldness.
One fun & cheap way to downsize the busyness of a space is to neutralize your mismatching accessories.
I was given this adorable piece of pottery as a gift, and while I loved the shape, I really hated the color. So I decided to revamp it, making it one of my favorite little accessories in my house. 
I was a high gloss piece, so I did sand it slightly. Then I painted it with regular old latex paint. You could use spray paint specifically designed for bonding to glass… but I admit it… I am cheap and used what I had on hand. Since it’s high gloss, the paint will come off if scratched too hard, but that’s okay with me. It isn’t meant to be a functional piece, but I did leave the inside alone, in case I want to use it as a flower vase.
Here it is all pretty and white! *SIGH*
How I love these three items! The teal vase, apple, and basket are from TG MAXX & Homegoods. I love that store!
One last look. I love how simple and dreamy it looks, even if it’s white on white.
What do you think about layering textures and colors?
