Bedroom Inspiration

Spring is my favorite time of year to get things freshened up around home especially in the bedroom. Buy some new linens for the bed, add some bright new colors or some fresh new accessories! I'm on my way now to look for some new bedding today!!

Stepmom house....stood the test of time!

Lastnight I was browsing the channels on tv and the movie Stepmom was playing....of course I've seen it before but I had to watch it again all for the house!!! I began to see that this movie made over 10 years ago and well decorated in traditional style had truly stood the test of time! Just look at the color scheme or the taste in comfy chairs, you could still buy ones just like those in the major furniture places today! I'm not sure who decorated this but kuddos to you for a job well done!

Dreamin about the country!

Since we are approaching deadlines and showing our home more and more, I've spent some time dreaming about country living and what it will mean to me. I've always dreamt of the cleaner air, my laundry hanging on a huge clothes line, a ranch style fence, tall wispy perennials, hanging baskets and sitting on my front porch! I couldn't exactly come up with those images today but wanted to share some decorating ideas that I think suit my country style--a little rustic, a little relaxed, a little simple and a whole lotta living! What is your country style?

a new adventure

This is why I've been absent for a few weeks! We've decided to buy this home out in the country! The deal is not complete yet, we still have to sell our current home first. I've been trying to sell our home privately and I'm doing all the showings myself, it's a lot of work but in the end it's a huge saving for us. The new home is not quite complete yet and can't wait to see it finished! I will keep you updated!!!

Dining Room Art

I finished hanging my art for my dining room...I originally wanted to frame botanical prints like you see in the dining room below this post, but I was unsucessful in finding ones that I could afford. So I decided to dig into my stash of fabrics and pulled out some beautiful fabric that I picked up last fall at walmart (in the ends bin for under $2) that I intended to make pillows from it, (which never happened) thankfully. My frames worked out to be just over $10 so all together it cost me under $75 bucks!!! Someday down the road money permitting I will purchase prints or b/w photos and replace the fabric but for now I love the look of them~Please visit the inspired room for more ways to live beautifully. Thanks for lookin and have a great day!

Update on Dining Room Art
