Decorating a Nursery for a Baby and Beyond

It’s so fun to decorate a nursery. There are so many options… especially nowadays. A boring, typical glider was the norm but within the last five years, designers have created new styles. The designs are modern and fashionable and have stunning pattern options. The chair could used for the nursery and into the teen years […]

Colorful Mondays {violet}

There are certain tidbits from school that I’ll never forget. One of them is that purple is not a real name of a color. My teacher said that Crayola created the name and we should refer to the color between red and blue as violet. Do you refer to the color as purple or violet? […]

Friday Finds {college}

With a lot of high school graduation parties this time of year, a lot of people are thinking about useful gifts for the grad. I found a very cool trunk at Factory Girl’s shop on etsy.  The owner, Jessie Silver, opened the store in 2012 thanks to her passion for interior design.  Factory Girl sells […]

Colorful Mondays {green grass}

This weekend was a great time to work on the yard. I feel like I got a lot done. I planted flowers in the front yard and in planters on the front porch and by the patio while my husband worked on the lawn. There are so many beautiful ornamental grasses and I love the […]

Set a Formal Mood with a Piano

A piano not only fills a room with beautiful music but also with beautiful design. It’s important to always have the piano on display and not hide it in a corner amongst old, dusty books and blankets. I am always dusting mine and keeping it shiny. It’s nice to have beautiful flowers on top or maybe […]

An area rug can make or break a room. It ties the space together with size, shape and colors. If the rug is too small or the wrong colors or pattern, then it can break the room. There are many rules out there such as to have the furniture all on the rug or all […]

Friday Finds [personal touch]

I found a couple of classics with a customization twist. Two weeks ago, I wrote about the beauty of vintage posters. I love striking, large prints. They really make a statement with the bold color and type. Well, this week, I found the coolest vintage poster because it’s not vintage at all and it’s completely […]

Let’s Just Get Away

Do you ever get the feeling that you want to get away? But also just stay home? I found some perfect retreats within the home. What do you think? I’d love to stop everything and take a break in one of these spots. Maybe I could close my eyes for a few minutes and be […]

Looking at Window Treatments

When I’m decorating my house, I really get stuck when it comes to the windows. They bring in all the light and are such a focal point. I’m afraid that if I use the wrong treatment, then I could block a ton of light or my eye will ignore the rest of the room and […]

Colorful Mondays {orange}

Orange is red and yellow. It takes energy from the red and happiness from the yellow and creates an overall feeling of well-being with emotional energy of compassion and warmth. Studies show that the color orange creates increased oxygen supply to the brain and enhanced assurance. This vivid color also helps decision-making and enhances confidence […]
