I am so excited to share our little girls room with all of you today!! I find when I decorate my kids rooms, like any spaces in our house, it’s a pieced together look, and sometimes those take time to put together. There is waiting involved as you gather those pieces and inspiration. That was certainly the case for this room. Come and see how I created cozy nooks, with a vintage feel and a one-of-a-kind look!
You can thank my husband for this, because last night he asked me what I wanted for mother’s day, and nothing came to mind. It’s not because I didn’t want anything, I just couldn’t remember any ideas I had previously thought of. So instead telling him ” I don’t care”, I said hold that thought, and let me get back to you, because I know there are things I want! HA HA, said from someone being totally realistic. I mean if he is going spend our hard earned cash on something for me, you can be sure this thrifty mom is going to make sure it’s something she wants! Come see what my 10 gifts are …
I pushed it off for months and months, but I finally came to the conclusion that giving our bathroom a mini makeover by painting our stripes a new color was mandatory. And I am so glad that I did. Every time I paint with gray I fall in love with the color all over again. Come see which gray I used this time!
As I said in my last post, knowing what to hang on your walls can prove to be tricky sometimes. Today I’m going to highlight different art I have on my walls, and hopefully provide you with some inspiration for different types of art for your walls too! Again I will say, that I love framing family photos, especially large prints, but I’ve found if I’m doing a mix of different sized frames, I need to mix up what I put in those frames as well. For instance …
Today I’m going to share a great place to find art for your walls. If you haven’t been around here for a little while, you may not know this, but I have a love for gallery walls. Maybe more like an obsession! I often get asked by clients what they should fill their frames with when they hang them on their walls. My first go to would be family photos, but you don’t want to go overboard. Hanging art on your walls is a great way to show everyone your personality and style. So this week we are going to tour all around our house as I show you different ways to decorate your walls, but first I’m going to show you some amazing prints, and a fun giveaway too!
There is something truly restful about being comfortable in a home and allowing it to refresh you as well. For me it goes so much deeper than attaining that “magazine perfect” look. It’s how it makes you feel. And when it impacts the lives of others who don’t even live there, you gain a sense of accomplishment. I have done my job, in making home inviting and welcoming to all, even the smallest …
All those investments of pouring into our house came full circle when we were sick, and our home offered us a place of comfort and rest so we could get better. As I laid there and looked around our home, I felt refreshed because I was in an environment that inspired me and welcomed me in to rest, so I could regain my energy to go back out into the world. Something, that in the busy everyday life can get over looked. So the next time you think it’s silly to fluff those pillows, or buy that pretty frame that makes you smile …
Spring! Just saying the word puts a smile on my face. I don’t know why, but I don’t think I can say the word “spring” without smiling. I instantly get visions in my head of flowers popping up out of the ground, and trees budding outside. A sign that winter is over, and a new season is beginning. I always say the fall is my favorite season, and Christmas is my favorite holiday, but secretly every time spring hits …
I’m joining some pretty amazingly talented bloggers this week for a fun little tour along with some fun questions we will all be answering. To be honest, I feel a little star struck to be in this group, and a whole – lotta gratitude to be among some amazing people, that inspire me on my own blogging journey. The one thing we all have in common is …
