I got an email from my friend and client in Colorado last night and I decided it may be time for a visit
. I did her house a few years ago and I did and a 'Jane Coslick Happy Place' above the garage and away from the main living spaces.(In Case I ever needed to run away)
This space has some of my favorite FFF's (funky fabulous finds) and a great Lee Industries sofa with the perfect size bench seat cushion for watching the world drift by. The view of Sleeping Giant Mountain is breathe taking and so are the sunsets and cool nights and great fires we build.
It is such a contrast to the beach but the Elk river runs by so I still get my water fix.....
When I started the project....
I decided that turquoise being both a beach and a mountain color, would be the thread of color that was woven thru the house.
PS. Don't forget the Giveaway...I am loving the comments about what each of you love about your home. Focus on what you love not what needs doing....it will all get done one day!!!!
