Simplicity

Something about the simplicity of this, makes me love it. How gorgeous are these milk glass white bud vases with hydrangea in it.  I can see these going across a console table or on a fireplace mantle. 22 Bay Road on Etsy has these here

To Die For...

I love these milk glass lamps from pottery barn. I don't love their price tag. However, I may cave. I cannot seem to find any lamps that I love for the Master bedroom.

Go Green

Think outside the box before you throw something out.  Be green and recycle.  My girlfriend recently moved and wanted to do something different over her fireplace vs. the traditional mirror or picture frames.  So, what did she do???  She got creative.  For the center of this arrangement (she used a  wrought iron wall hanger that originally had a glass vase attached) and for the two sides (a wine bottle holder).  The wine bottle holder was unscrewed which resulted in two really cool graphic wrought iron pieces when turned on the side. The S was attached to the center to represent their last name. Really cool, huh?  What have you guys done to re-purpose items for decorating? I would love to show off your ideas... Send me link if you would like to share.

Spring Fever

Springmaid line at Target was screaming "Spring Fever" or more like "buy me".  The entire aisle had a ton of options for bedding.  Two good things, 1. Affordable and 2. Reversible.  Hello!  Sign me up. Here are few a shots taken with Mr. Droid. You can see all the reversible comforter sets, sheet sets, and coverlets that coordinate. Oh, and they had a ton of cute pillows.  I took a pic of the yellow one so you could see for yourself.  I personally am a fan of the Berry sheets and the stripe floral comforter.  They may have to make an appearance in the Master.

Rug Eye Candy

I am totally behind!  I had no idea Amy Butler had rugs too!  I love her fabric.  I am loving this rug and would love to have it find its way into my house.

Color Splash

This reminds me of the color of our kitchen, Sherwin Williams Wheat Grass. However, I am loving it in this hallway. Color adds so much to a house. What new colors have you tried in your house lately?

Roman Shades

While out this Saturday and roaming around World Market, I stumbled across these gorgeous roman shades.  The Henri Floral was my favorite.  These might have to somehow make it someplace in my house, maybe our Master bedroom:)

This print is the Savannah Ogee Medallion

Not so unique after all

Have you ever purchased something and you thought "This is great, no one else will have this at all!?"  When I went out and bought this piece of fabric from a local fabric store in Charlotte, NC I thought I was going to have these unique drapes no one else had. It was lacking in length but nothing that could not be fixed by adding some additional fabric.  It was not until months later that my ever so fav store came out with their own duvet, shower curtain, pillows, etc. in this exact print!

Does this fabric look familar?  My mother in law worked on sewing these curtains for my chocolate brown powder room.  I loved all the colors in the fabric.  It had all my favorite colors: Aqua, orange, green, browns, burnt reds, etc. We added the fabric up top and some fun fringe to make the curtain longer.  I thought I had the most unique curtains until Pottery Barn released their catalog, ha!! Nontheless, I still love them and sort of thought it was funny that PB would think so highly of the exact same fabric:)

Decorations for Summer Party, Birthdays, Wedding or Baby Showers....

These flower pom pom kits from Martha Stewart come in all different colors. They make the best decor for parties. We used white ones for the recent Gender Reveal Party we did. I shall share pictures soon! This party set up is gorgeous, don't you think???

Welcoming entry

Here are few entry ways that I find very welcoming. I love the burst of colors as you walk in.  This is such a fun way to welcome guests. If you did not want to go with a bold color on the wall then you could always paint the inside of your door a color.  I love the dark grey door from the inside of the house down below.  Are you inspired by color or have a fun entry way?

MIA??

I know I have been MIA lately (will explain more later). It has been a whirlwind of weeks. However, this past weekend the hubby and I went to buy a new bed. Bye Bye Queen and hello King! I tried to pick out two chairs for our Master bedroom sitting area. I want two chairs to sit on each side of the fireplace. However, I decided to hold off on getting the chairs since I had no idea what colors I am doing for bedding The sky was the limit when it came to picking out the fabric for the chairs.  We will see.  Sale price tag on these were still around $500.00.  We will see.  I may have to continue to bargin shop and see if I cannot find some even lower.  Besides then maybe I could throw in getting a bench to sit in front of the bed.  Decisions, Decisons.  I swear decorating the Master Bedroom seems to be the hardest room for me everywhere we live. Good night folks!

Coastal View

I am trying to get some ideas for woodwork in a bedroom, I like the woodwork that was done in this room.  I do love white/brown or cream/brown together.  This room has a lot of symmetry in the way it is decorated.  Five stars!

Brainstorming Part II

While brainstorming ideas for our Master Bedroom yesterday (see post here for those ideas), I could not resist sharing some of the fun girl bedding I stumbled across.









All Bedding can be found here. What bedding would you choose given the opportunity to go back and design your dream girl bedroom? Do tell.

Brainstorming

Snowed into today. What better time to surf around and day dream. With all this time of my hands, I figured I would start brainstorming some Master Bedroom re-do ideas. Here are some thoughts...






Gorgeous Glass Ball Chandelier and bedding found here. I could see any of this for a master bedroom. There are so many different options that I like. However, that is what brainstorming is all about, our shall I say today "snowstorming".
