Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

No LACK in Style

Sometimes I feel like Chris and I live in an IKEA showroom.

We have the Karlstad sofa, three natural LACK tables, the JokkMokk dining room table and chair set, the Poang chair, aaaaaand the Hemnes bed (whew... that's mouthful!) Plus a few lamps and other odds and ends.

Some of our furniture I really love--like our lime green couch.

Buying our first couch together. Awww...

The furniture has held up great and it's perfect for our budget right now, but I've been getting a little bored with some of the pieces.

Specifically, Mr. LACK table. 




So, to assuage my desire for new tables, I went searching for some images of LACK tables (or look- alikes) in inspiring spaces. I was amazed at the plethora of beautiful rooms with these little tables! There are oodles of blog posts out there with similar collections of images, but I've pooled some of my favorites  from all over. 



Such a feminine, flirty room!



Ok, I just want to live in this room. Love it!



I love the symmetry in this room. Just add some cushions and you've got ottomans!












A vase of fresh sunflowers will improve any decor!

So, what do you think? Pretty amazing what you can do with an eight-dollar table, huh? Anyone out there with these tables? Do you hide them in corners or proudly display them?


Now I'm contemplating painting mine white... should I do it??
