Countdown with Marce - My Houzz




Last year June, my partner and I bought a house but with a two year rental in place.  I was upset with the wait but now can't believe it is less than a year away.  I am always on Houzz, getting inspiration and choosing furniture and decorating ideas.  I spend as much time on that site as I do blogging now.

I decided I am going to share some of my choices here on my blog, one weekend every month.  Hope you enjoy my excitement.

My house is called Amethyst.  I was born and raised in Bermuda. I am a 1st time home owner. Bermudians say 'owning a piece of the rock'.

My first choice to share with you is my inspiration for the bookshelf and art.......

All pictures are from the site Houzz

I love the mix of shapes. I can see books, book art and our Swarovski crystals here.

  1. I love your taste in bookshelves, and art, it is lovely. Will it be in your new home or is it just a dream library for now?

    1. Thanks Naida, sometimes my taste is extravagant and out of budget but the bookshelves inspiration is a keeper. My partner also thinks white would be a great contrast on the wall colour I choose. Very excited.
