There are some tricks to picking out the perfect paint colors and we have pulled a few of them together for you.</span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">#1</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't decide on the paint at the store. Bring multiple paint chips home of the color you think you like and attach them together on cardboard. Put the cardboard on your wall to see how the light in your home effects the paint. Even better just buy a quart of paint and paint a patch to see what the color will truly look like in your home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">#2</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Remember when you are choosing paint swatches, that there are undertones mixed in the paint and they may be different colors that you think. Not all gray is the same. Sometimes brown can look purple and sometimes it can look green. Taupe can look pink if it has to much red it in. This can happen with any color. There are pigments in the color that can take on personalities of other colors depending on where you put them and what light they have.This is why making sure the paint will look good in your home and not just in the store is important. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">#3</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">The psychology of color really does work. Red is vibrant and exciting and you will have a harder time sleeping or relaxing in a red room. Blue and green are soothing and calming but can also make you feel depressed. Choose your colors for each room based on the feeling that you want to portray.</div><div style="color: lime; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">#4</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last the but not least, leave the painting for last. After you get all the other elements for the room then you should choose your paint color. It would be much harder to match your furniture, fabric and upholstery to your paint color. </div>Harmonious Poshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03961913062953677628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509838389196899918.post-7024580029550991182010-08-09T13:31:00.000-07:002010-08-09T13:33:04.823-07:00Shelf decorating DIY: How to put together a great shelf display<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Decorating shelves and mantles can be frustrating. Even the most outstanding and unique piece can get lost in a mismanaged display. We came up with these decorating tips that can help you to create a more visually stimulating display in your home. I hope this helps to make your home feel fresh and organized.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #1: Odd numbered grouping...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">When decorating a shelf or table, it’s usually best to create odd numbers of groupings. One, three, five, seven and so on. You can place one large piece alone or three pieces on a table or shelf. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #2: Escalating scale...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Make sure the proportions are visually soothing to the eye by using escalating sizes. Create layers by incorporating a tall medium and short item in a group. Always put the tallest piece in the back of the display and let the height come down towards the viewer. Doing this creates a dynamic, interesting display.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #3: Make it you...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">It is important to put your personality into your home decorating. Use mementos of vacations, keep sakes and hobbies that are important to your family. Use the books you have accumulated over the years by mixing them into the display. Lay three on their side and one leaning against them. Use the books as elevators for other objects. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #4: Utopias create interest...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Create utopias of similar items like picture frames, teacups, buttons, glass bottles or trophies. Arrange things by like colors, like shapes or like textures to create a pop and a focal point. By putting lots of small objects together you will build scale and minimize clutter. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #5: Use your balance judgment...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">The most common way to create balance it by making each side symmetrical. Sometimes this can get boring and stuffy. Try using asymmetrical balance. Some things may not be the same size or color but they are visually the same weight and can balance each other out. By putting small things together you can create a grouping that visually balances out the weight of a larger piece.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #6: Create areas of relief...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't cram shelves full it's not attractive. Leave some breathing room between objects. You can treat a utopia of small objects as one large object and leave space around that instead of each individual piece in the utopia. This will make more of an impact and little items won’t get lost on the shelf. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #7: Hide clutter in attractive containers...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Adding baskets or boxes allows you to hide small busy looking trinkets or eye sores like remotes, papers, magazines and DVD's. Be sure to use boxes or baskets that go with your decor and look clean and visually attractive.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Tip #8: Let there be light...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Illuminate your shelf decor with small lamps or strings of lights. Make sure you hide the cord so that is isn't cluttered or visually distracting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hopefully these tips will work for you. If you still struggle with loving the display you have created, have someone else do it for you using these tips. Sometimes its just better when you don't do it yourself! </span></div>Harmonious Poshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03961913062953677628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509838389196899918.post-80996443942347012072010-05-13T12:25:00.000-07:002010-05-13T12:25:52.590-07:00Best job in the world...<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Can I please do this for a living?</span></span></i></b></div><br />

Its a holiday that most people despise for more than a few reasons. Women have bad memories of being alone and feeling neglected. Guys hate it because there is so much expectation for them to be romantic and spend money. Some e think Valentines day was created by card companies and it's over rated. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://pie.midco.net/grammalowe/images/barrette1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="http://pie.midco.net/grammalowe/images/barrette1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Personally, I believe that Valentines day originally comes from the pagan holiday called <i>Embolc</i>. The pagans believed that the month that is now February was sacred because it meant new beginnings. All the animals were becoming fertile, and all the trees, grass and natural life was peaking out of the winter. They worshiped a goddess at this time called Briged. She was a goddess of fertility.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Some theorize the holidy originated in ancient Rome - with a holiday called <i>Lupercalia</i>, which also had to do with fertility. I think Lupercalia was part of the evolution of the day we call Valentines day. It is celebrated with different names and rituals all over the world. I think it is lovely and it is one of my favorite holidays. Its cheesy, fun, romantic, exciting and it has an amazing history. I do agree that the holiday has been overtaken by hallmark. Thats why I think its important to come up with ideas that are thought out, home made and unexpected. You can't "treat every day of the year like Valentines day", peoples lives are too busy for that. So, its nice to have one day to celebrate love, fertility and new beginnings. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><br />
</span></b> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"> Here are a few ideas that might help you enjoy this holiday with your beloved. These ideas are sexy, creative and even inexpensive. </span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Spa Night</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Suggested ingredients for spa night: Candles, scented message oil, bath salts, music and rose petals.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For this night, make sure you have a clean bathroom and bedroom. Send your love out to the store to pick up something or tell them to wait in the other room. While they are out, set out lots of candles around the bathtub and in your bedroom. Spread the rose petals all around the bathtub and the bed. Fill the tub with hot water, add the bath salts and light the candles. Fill the evening up with a relaxing bath together and take turns giving each other massages. I'm sure you will figure out other things to do! You can add chocolate strawberries to the evening as well. Even more romantic bonus idea: make the strawberries together during the day as a romantic activity!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Picnic at Home</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">How to have a picnic in your living room: gather together finger foods. At my local grocery store they offer olives, cheese, bread and other easy sexy foods. Get a good bottle of wine. If you have a fire place, light it, if you don't, light candles and pretend that you do. Lay a soft blanket out on the living room floor. You can toss rose petals around the blanket for the romantic cheesy factor. Put all the finger foods on a nice platter and place it on or next to the blanket. Have fun feeding each other or just talking and reminiscing on why you fell in love in the first place!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Scavenger Hunt </span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This one takes a lot more effort and pre-thinking! Hide little notes all over the house, one leading to another. You can have a mini gift with each note, like a flower, bottle of wine, strawberries, chocolate, message oil, or what ever you want. At the end of the hunt, leave a card with a heartfelt note about how much you love your love. You could also leave a bigger gift but its is not necessary. To begin the scavenger hunt, you could write a note on the bathroom mirror or underneath your loves dinner plate. Get creative with this one, you could use it to lead them to what ever you want.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Meet at a hotel bar</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sometimes when two people are a team in life, daily life becomes a routine and your home may not feel sexy and romantic. This valentines idea may help to make you really feel like your on a date. After work on Valentines day, meet at a hotel bar and pretend that you are meeting for the first time. Make up a scandalous story about why your there. Have a few drinks together and see where it leads!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Spell it out in candles</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Instead of roses or flowers this year!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For this one, you will need to purchase a jumbo package of tea light candles. Use the candles to create a love message on your living room floor or dining room table. Even a simple I LOVE U will work. This is a very romantic and passionate gesture. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">A sweet email</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There is nothing like getting a real love note from your love! For some reason most people find this hard to do. Get over your pride, and put everything you love about your person into an email! Send it during work hours on or before valentines day. Tell your love that you want to have a romantic valentines day with them and this is the kickoff. If your feeling frisky, add a few naughty things to the email but mostly make it about why you love them. This valentines idea might be the best one yet!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Bake together</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">this is an easy romantic way to spend time with your love on valentines day. Make heart shaped cookies or chocolate covered strawberries together! Leave the clean up for the morning if the melted chocolate gets you going! Or keep it rated PG if you have kids and have a fun family Vday!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Make a play list</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pick out all the songs that make you think of your love. All the cheesy romantic songs and the sexy songs that make you feel randy! Put them all on a c.d. for and write "happy Valentines day, love songs for my love" on it in red. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These are just a few romantic Valentines day ideas. If your feeling super romantic, you can do all of these activities for one Valentines day! Whatever you do, remember to embrace love and appreciate your loved ones!</span></div>Harmonious Poshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03961913062953677628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509838389196899918.post-85121791305689774402010-02-04T07:59:00.000-08:002010-02-04T07:59:15.680-08:00Fun design from Etsy...I have the big green painting of New York that is in this video.

More exciting ingredients are starting to pop up in drinks at trendy bars and restaurants. Ingredient like rose water and strange vegetables are making there way into the spot light. I looked around on the internet for some more creative mixes that I could make at home and I didn't find much so I decided to experiment for my self. These ingredients were what I already had in my refrigerator. I think this recipe came out nicely. Its not to sweet but has a unique kick that I don't often find in alcoholic beverages. If you make this drink just right, it is hard to pick out any of the ingredients on there own. They simply become a new entity together. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I really want to start experimenting in savory drinks rather that sweet ones, so my next endeavor may include something like liquid smoke or bacon. :)</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWvcHueMdzrsliz0q7dB_WGGas9szcSksDrceDBpbBfNyknvqU9p_eY3CJUc4SNNXgwi4z3UaMdEclRxZJh_gqfa5VExNsSiKWQsMNi3PsouvuJmw-Id-n9nYWfT4RjcTzA81tWsOgDs/s1600-h/0_59.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinWvcHueMdzrsliz0q7dB_WGGas9szcSksDrceDBpbBfNyknvqU9p_eY3CJUc4SNNXgwi4z3UaMdEclRxZJh_gqfa5VExNsSiKWQsMNi3PsouvuJmw-Id-n9nYWfT4RjcTzA81tWsOgDs/s200/0_59.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />

Use a muddler to grind these ingredients together until the fruit and veggies loose there shape and meld into the ice. You will need to use a little elbow grease. Once everything is muddled together and it almost looks like an icy, add the liquid ingredients. Put the lid on the shaker and shake the hell out of it. Use all the muscle you have. I want your whole body involved! This is one of the most important parts. Don't be a pansy and shake that thing! Now, time is crucial here, you don't want to much ice melting in your martini or it wont be a martini anymore. strain the mixture into the glasses and garnish however you like. Some ideas might be an orange slice or a toothpick with a chunk of orange, maraschino cherry and cucumber. You could also get more creative and garnish with fresh rosemary.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">If you want to cool your martini glasses before hand, you can get them wet and stick them in the freezer for about 15 min before you begin to mix your drink. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Saturday night I attended a pub-crawl that is put on annually by the Brickyard guys in Wichita. Usually there is a theme and this year it was old Thrift store clothes. Luckily, my basement is pretty much an old thrift store, thanks to <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">Harmonious Posh</a> so I ended up supplying many of the outfits. We went to about 10 dive bars, did a lot dancing, a lot of walking and a lot of drinking. It was like being in old Vegas! Here are a few pictures of the night and the outfits that people sported...<br />

Designer looks from Etsy!<span style="font-family: 'Univers Light', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Univers Light', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">I love looking at magazines for the newest fashions of the season. The sucky thing is that most people can't afford the designer clothes! I pride myself in being a savvy shopper, so today after looking at some runway photos of 2010 spring fashion I decided to do a little experiment. I analyzed the designer runway fashions and put together items on Etsy.com to copy the designer looks. Take a look at how easy it is to create designer looks with inexpensive <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> finds!</span></span><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Sunday was flea market day! We have two flea markets in wichita. One of them is north and only goes on every third Sunday at a local coliseum. It is wonderful. I usually find lots of pretty things for my home. The other one is south and in a shady part of town. Its a little more like a swap meet but sometimes you can find things hidden in the rough and sellers don't know what they have. I have found a hot pink Herman Miller chair there that I got for free! I get a little creeped out going to the south flea market sometimes. Thanks to my new I-phone app that shows where all the sex offenders are, I now know that pretty much every other house in south Wichita harbors a sex offender. Ew.<br />

</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b>As creator and former owner of <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">Harmonious Posh</a>, you must have seen a lot of trends reinvented over time.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I have definitely noticed some fashion elements that I believe will stand the test of time. Some of them have had and will continue to have a little tweaking one way or the other, but these are some of the things I believe will never go out of style.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b>#1</b> <b>An antique broach.</b> Broaches have always been in fashion. They are very versatile no-matter what era they come from. You can where a broach on your shirt, scarf or in your hair and even on your belt. You can wear them to church or on a night out on the town. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b># 2</b> <b>The big belt.</b> Belts have not gone out of style yet. Weather the trend is to wear it up high or down low, a belt has always been a figure flattering accessory. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b># 3</b> <b>Bangles.</b> Bangles can be thin, thick jingly or soft. The most time tested bangles are simple and thin in gold or silver.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b># 6</b> <b>A good pair of jeans.</b> Ever since jeans have been invented, they have been in fashion.

</div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I have always been a thrift store shopper. I think this stems form the early 90’s and the grunge days (thank you Mark Jacob's!) . I love to have <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">unique items</a> in my wardrobe that nobody else has. Growing up in wichita, It has been hard to find different fashion pieces that nobody else has and <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">shopping at the thrift store</a> helped me to find funky items from our passed. Actually, my first love is not fashion but interior design. I love to find furniture and and change it. Chopping off legs and giving it a fresh coat of panted stripes or dots. I treat interior design the same way I treat fashion. I love to use eclectic, retro, <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">vintage</a> and new elements all together to get to a perfect finished room design. Any time I travel to another city like Chicago, Kansas City or Phoenix, I would much rather go to the <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">vintage shops</a> than to the trendy expensive shops. I love the feeling of being around all the one of a kind items that someone hand picked. Wichita has only had one other really interesting and trendy <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">vintage shop</a>, so I decided to be the one to bring it to our town. <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">Harmonious Posh</a>’s concept began with furniture in mind but as it evolved, I realized that it was the clothes that were selling, so I went with it. It was a blast! I created a organized, fresh, clean and comfortable atmosphere for <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">Harmonious Pposh</a>. Most vintage shops seem to be a little dingy and cramped (which can be fun), but I wanted my store to be like me, modern but with a strong vintage ground. I think I was a little ahead of my time because the <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">Harmonious Posh</a> online store was still selling to L.A. and New York. I don’t think vintage had quite made it to the mid-west yet. I closed the brick and mortar doors about a year and a half ago after two years of business. Now, Harmonious Posh is an online store only. It's sad but at least HP still lives!</span><br />

</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I have to credit a local retail shop in Wichita for getting me to think about my next few blog post. <a href="http://www.pinksaloon.com/">pinksaloon.com</a> The Pink Saloon is my favorite store in Wichita and The owner asked me to answer a few questions for her blog. The fallowing is the first question:</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Can you give us a brief history lesson of your fashion journey? </b></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b>And this was my answer:</b></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I usually go back in vintage time to find my personal style inspiration, but I try to mix the old with new so my wardrobe will still look up to date. I don't want to look like one of those old ladies who could get out of a certain ara. (although I find them awfully cute) I just need to bring a little of the soul of the past into my wardrobe. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> In the early 90’s I discovered my passion for fashion. Between the ages of 12 to 14, I mixed grunge with hippie 60’s. I would like to credit my parents record collection as one of my biggest fashion inspirations. I would sit my parents basement, listening to bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beetles, Cat Steven's and Fleetwood Mac. At that time, my closet held things like 5 pairs of all-star high tops in bright colors and flowers and doodles scribbled all over them. I wore my flannel shirts and cutoff shorts, and a dandelion crown over my parted down the middle hair. I still see little middle school hipsters and think fondly on my mini-rebel days. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">In high-school, I chopped my hair off and idolized Drew Barrymore from Mad Love. My motif of choice was a butterfly. (gag me!) Thank god I didn’t get a tattoo! I still had a hint of hippie but my inspiration moved from the peace loving 60’s to the psychedelic 70’s. </span><br />

A DIY Concrete Countertop Idea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I recently had concrete countertops installed in my kitchen. I got a pretty good deal on them so I guess that is why I had to finish them myself. It sucked at first, I couldn't find anything about how to finish concrete! During the time that they were unfinished they were so fragile and easy to stain, I had to do something! The only things I found when I searched were extensive messy ways to finish concrete - and my kitchen was not the place to be using chemicals that needed to be sprayed off with a hose. I looked all over the internet, I looked at lowes, home depot and all the local hardware shops in my town. I couldn't find anyone who really knew what they were talking about. I could have acid stained them but that would have been to messy in my new kitchen.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I decided to take a chance and come up with my own way finish them. What follows is a creative, do it yourself way to give a luxurious, natural finish to concrete countertops. I made this up as I went- and we were happy with our results. If you give it a try- let me know how it turns out!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>The inspiration:</b><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Part of the appeal of concrete is that it has a natural quality to it... surface and color variations that will make it completely unique. I wanted to take that natural feel even farther. The dark gray color of the concrete already gives it a stonelike quality- so I figured, let's really run with the aged stone look... here's the inspiration: <br />
</div><a href="http://images.travelpod.com/users/big_d/manilla_001.1196496000.worn-stone-work.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://images.travelpod.com/users/big_d/manilla_001.1196496000.worn-stone-work.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Getting Started:</b><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I practiced my idea in my garage on the floor to see how concrete would take stain. I used wood stain, wood stain is just pigment in water. Its the same thing that is used in paint only in a much more concentrated form. I bought a black and a green. (Technically it was a Minwax Water based stain- Ebony and Mediterranean Olive.) Our concrete was completely untreated - so it was very porous and absorbed EVERYTHING. A drop of water would soak in within a second. It's important to note this - not only before you stain your countertops- but during the process. Because they are so absorbent- a little bit of color goes a long way.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also used a sponge for texture and an old t-shirt rag to blend the stain.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPP4zd5YiywpsNpQI5cj9i74dKD0bnzEfKdpIntYxj8vKnF27ZwGiR9OjqYWQwPvJ6uAbfuo9a5hplk_h11mN-NU_a7e4xY9YVF_XI_5YGgDTFnQA4DpjwvXkO6dRp9g5CtVSRiUVg9_o/s1600-h/DSC_0026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPP4zd5YiywpsNpQI5cj9i74dKD0bnzEfKdpIntYxj8vKnF27ZwGiR9OjqYWQwPvJ6uAbfuo9a5hplk_h11mN-NU_a7e4xY9YVF_XI_5YGgDTFnQA4DpjwvXkO6dRp9g5CtVSRiUVg9_o/s640/DSC_0026.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wore gloves because wood stain does not come off skin! I diluted the black stain. I used 3/4 water and 1/4 stain at first. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUxwYHMBdMbKMraqpeBv2FYZRC59z66dkJ35o8J7_uwKMfMMP1Bfpe290FoE5eoxGD-S8_24z2TbWoIuDYcIStjxrRYT-8QJAmYcx95bijMO4VDbm2qnRT77t6M3iwj-KHDC9ZBU0BMf4/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUxwYHMBdMbKMraqpeBv2FYZRC59z66dkJ35o8J7_uwKMfMMP1Bfpe290FoE5eoxGD-S8_24z2TbWoIuDYcIStjxrRYT-8QJAmYcx95bijMO4VDbm2qnRT77t6M3iwj-KHDC9ZBU0BMf4/s640/DSC_0009.JPG" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Rubbing It In </b><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started slowly with a rag soaked in the water stain mixture. In a circular motion I started just barley darkening up the outside of the counter. I wanted an aged look with a lighter middle so I slowly worked my way into the middle, adding more layers to darken the color around the outside. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I worked the rag in a circular motion so it would look more organic. I kept another rag with only water on it close by and as I went along, I buffed my marks with the wet rag to dilute the stain. The photos make the stain look very dark- this is an illusion because the concrete looks dark when it is wet. As the water dries out, the first layer of actual stain is considerably lighter than what you're seeing in these photos.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After i got an even color that was a little darker on the edges and lighter in the middle of the counter tops I began using a sponge. I used the sponge to give texture. I used the same mixture of water stain that I had used before.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidnFfXr2KS1tdDi9OO07DEU4tkx3RYn01wOvPAXd1L4HgYJiPs0LIBQUOEcfVk57So-BHW2EOGRlErGtyz_rCnE7wOjNggC8gkTKg053jc3WbxsqfVf2NwXmlobCGs7Y9G-I8dl468X9Q/s1600-h/DSC_0028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidnFfXr2KS1tdDi9OO07DEU4tkx3RYn01wOvPAXd1L4HgYJiPs0LIBQUOEcfVk57So-BHW2EOGRlErGtyz_rCnE7wOjNggC8gkTKg053jc3WbxsqfVf2NwXmlobCGs7Y9G-I8dl468X9Q/s640/DSC_0028.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I kept the damp rag with water only on it and buffed out a lot of the sponge marks. I didn't want it to look sponged, I wanted an organic aged look. (Safe to say, my favorite things have a little history to them since I own a <a href="http://www.harmoniousposh.com/">vintage clothing shop</a>!)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is about the time I started sponging on some of the green. I just wanted it to have a bit of a mossy look. I sponged the green on very sparingly, mostly in the darkest areas. Then I buffed it and patted it with the water rag to get it blended in. I didn't buff all the marks, just enough to make it look natural.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQR8xRkBBZob-5PA1Dv0zXxnjjwPb68V_5J6wL77e4WXLFdZh3pgsE7dsOdmCvsUWRldqipwZK5eyiqjj-KInemfxCoEuFDu0nxHceKaUE-Mpf2JeRJRaApKQTLgigRm2T4MECHFM6kxU/s1600-h/DSC_0043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQR8xRkBBZob-5PA1Dv0zXxnjjwPb68V_5J6wL77e4WXLFdZh3pgsE7dsOdmCvsUWRldqipwZK5eyiqjj-KInemfxCoEuFDu0nxHceKaUE-Mpf2JeRJRaApKQTLgigRm2T4MECHFM6kxU/s640/DSC_0043.JPG" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After the layer of light sponging and green stain sponging, I used 100% stain to get some more dramatic marks. I patted the concrete in certain spots with the pure stain and then I patted those marks a little bit with the water rag. I didn't want it perfectly even so I only did this in some spots. I went back and forth with the green and black blotting it in between to give it an organic mossy rock look. This is where your artistic skills have to take over. You cant do this if you have none. Sorry.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I kept going with the sponging 100% stain until I was happy with the outcome. I used the water rag a lot just to blend while I sponged. Another note: That highly absorbent concrete we started out with was quickly becoming "sealed" as I added layers of stain. This can actually work in you favor because you gradually have to let the stain sit on the surface longer as it becomes less absorbant. This makes it easier to regulate the color.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm just about done remodeling my kitchen and I'm starting to put the finishing touches on the dining room and kitchen. I need to find some kind of seating and some window treatments. Why in the world is it so hard to find window panels? I have been to World Market, Target, Dillards, Pier 1 and I even went to the local fabric shop looking for a fabric that would work so I could make my own! Nothing. I can't find anything on line except plain neutral colored window panels and hardly any of them are grommets like what I want. Below is a fabric I found a while back in a pillow that I love. Can I just please find a window panel in a fabric like this with grommets on it? PLEASE! Jonathan Adler, please help me!<br />

</div>Hello world! My name is Heather and the above picture is me. Before I start this blogging voyage, I want to say a few things about me. I'm not going to say my age. :) Thats a secret! I do want to write a bit about the things I love in life. Here is a list of my top favorites:<br />
cooking, interior design, vintage clothing and furniture, fashion, gardening, creating art, enjoying art, music, wine, my boyfriend, my dogs, my friends and my family.<br />
So, that is what I will be blogging about.<br />
I am trying to get into this blogging thing but its a little awkward! I will pre apologize for any grammar mistakes or bad spelling! I have never kept a diary and if I did, I probably wouldn't let anyone read it. But I am going to do my best to open up and let a bit of my psyche out into the universe.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After a year, I found a much better location and moved my store. The Delano district is a funky little shopping area just west of the river in down town Wichita. If your ever in Wichita, I recommend checking it out. Its where all the brothels and saloons were in the old days!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> \<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_Fxblivd8Y_io8AuTjsUoROCrklUHB3kK_6SzJsZluNtcDoCyaYCFURKHQq4q2OMAo3GQ2FP_X5cX6hvZjU_0gbRWu-iOZlUGXO2o_kjatFlRzp85DyOu5g20MY0x3sBa-liJZDrQxw/s1600-h/DSC_0409.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_Fxblivd8Y_io8AuTjsUoROCrklUHB3kK_6SzJsZluNtcDoCyaYCFURKHQq4q2OMAo3GQ2FP_X5cX6hvZjU_0gbRWu-iOZlUGXO2o_kjatFlRzp85DyOu5g20MY0x3sBa-liJZDrQxw/s640/DSC_0409.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The town I live in is rather middle sized and its in the bible belt so try to imagine the style that people dress in here. There is a lot of Abercombie, Gap, Uggs, Ed Hardy and anything that is brand name. So my little vintage shop didn't get a ton of shoppers. The shoppers that I did have were super cute but there just weren't enough. So, I moved on to other things. I was a Wine rep for a while at a local liquor distributer. I loved selling wine but, I have a problem with old school, in the box thinking so that company didn't hold me for long. Now, I sell vintage clothing on Etsy. I love it and I am trying to do everything I can to make my store thrive. So shop there! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Harmoniousposh">http://www.etsy.com/shop/Harmoniousposh</a><br />
