I am happy to inform you that the room is finally done!It has made a big transformation from the nursery days to a big boys Pirate/Nautical themed room.I just finished taking a few hundred pictures to share with you.I hope you will agree that a good before and after can be pretty amazing!To see how far this room has come, we have to travel back in time.Way back, to the toddler years...

A Christmas Vignette
My Christmas Vignette is done.To be honest, I almost wasn't going to share my holiday vignette.It is just so hard to take quality pictures of my entryway table.For one there's no direct lighting along this wall.I also have the light reflection of not only one, but three windows!And then you have the mirror which reflects everythingincluding me trying to take the picture! Sheesh! So I tried my best, I did.Maybe Santa will bring me a new camera for Christmas.Of some photography classes. Something, cause this girl needs some help!Now that I have shared my disclaimer on my ... View the Post
Fall Vignette with DIY Grapevine Pumpkins
I am so happy because my favorite time of year is almost here...FALL!I love the cooler nights,the pretty colors,the crispness in the air, and oh, chai tea. I miss that bad! :) But most of all I love the fall decorations.This year I decided to give my pumpkins a new twist with a little grapevine. I wanted to bring a natural look to my fall vignette this year.I was inspired by a picture from Better Homes and Gardens...They used grapevine twine, but I could not find that anywhere.So I got creative and found something at Michael's called Naturally Wired.I think I was able to pull ...

Time For A Spring Vignette
It feels so much like Spring outside that I wanted to bring it indoors. I started with making my Spring Vignette. I decided to stay in a theme of mint green with touches of white. I went to Micheal's last week where I found the birds, butterflies, and flowers 50% off. Works for me! The rest of the items where things I gathered from around the house.I had this white picture frame just sitting in the garage. I was laying in bed almost asleep when this idea hit me. I have to say, I think it looks pretty sweet and it lightens the space up. I also love these guys...My little green butterflies. They ... View the Post
My Shelves Are Sparkling!
Today was a bitterly cold day. A perfect opportunity to stay inside by the fire and finish putting up my Christmas decorations.I wanted to share with you my Ballard Designs shelves all Christmas-fied. (Yes, I believe that is a real word!)I gave myself a challenge this year...a time limit of one afternoon and I could only use things I already had in my home. So I kept it simple. But I think it turned out pretty nice.The pitcher was probably one of my best purchases from Target! I have used it in a ton of different decorations. I found the Merry Christmas sign last year at Wal-mart. ... View the Post
I Finished It Friday: Fall Decorated Shelves
When the holidays arrive most people decorate their mantels. Well, my mantel is rather small and holds a very big television. Which doesn't leave much room for decorations. So instead, I decided to display my fall decorations on my new Ballard Designs shelves.One of my favorite decorations on the shelves are my little mini white pumpkins...aren't they cute?And on the second shelf is where I displayed my fall printable. I think all the colors in the art go well with the display. Just because I love to share, one more picture.So has the fall bug bitten you yet? I am still trying to add ... View the Post
Spider Bathroom…what do you think?
I have been working on putting up all my Halloween decorations. I think, maybe, I finished my hall bathroom. What do you think?My bathroom was already red with black and white accessories. So I thought I would just add a few black and white Halloween decorations with items that I already had in my home. I already had both frames and the candle. I only purchased the candle holder and black letters. I made the EEK sign using scrap paper as the background and black letters I got at Micheal's for $.50. I used scrap paper again to wrap around the candle. I then printed out the picture along ... View the Post
