Inspiration "Bits and Pieces

In my" bits and pieces", I get inspired everyday.  Today as I was going thru some things, I found some other pictures of things I have done.  I may have put them on one of the past blogs, but here they are.

I talked about striping.  This guest bath was striped in 1993-94.

 
This is an old camera photo, so it didn't scan in great.  First let me explain a few things.  First of all, I first painted the walls white, and let them dry a good week, then striped in in an old color, a Ralph Lauren color that is no longer available.  It had a shimmer to it, although I no longer remember the color.  It had silver in it.  If ever I remember, I will let you know as it was beautiful.
 
I have always been a blue and white person, and I love to add different colors to it.  This particular one was a sunny yellow.   This pattern was popular in the early 1990s.  The fish above the towel rack was purchased at an art fair, and it now hangs in the guest bath in the house I live in now.  Since the towels matched the shower curtain, I left them with the house.  The shell  on the commode is made of wood.  It is a piece that goes anywhere.  It is even great on a table setting.  I think at the moment it is on the lanai here.  In the mirror is a reflection of some koi fish I did in the early 1990's and is above the commode in my guest bath today.  So things do travel well.  " If You Really Love It, Buy It, It Will Fit Somewhere."
 
Here are the same pieces used today:
 
 
 Here is the same fish.  It really can go anywhere, and it is blue and white.   This is in the guest bath.  Remember, we talked about the framed mirror previously, and the lighting.

 
This is the koi fish picture that I painted years ago.  See how much blue and yellow is in it.  Then orange is added which is the compliment to blue.  You can see in the fish ceramic piece above the top of the bottom picture frame.  They are together on the same wall.  this is also wallpapered, that you can see in a previous blog. This painting is for sale, but please contact me about it.
 
 
 Here is the same sea shell used as a table decoration.  To me all of these things are usable everywhere.  I love to change things.
 
What can you change?????
