Bedroom ReDo Ideas

I've been on the hunt for some ideas for Sawyer's bedroom. Here are some pictures that really get my mind going--wallpapered ceilings, cozy cubby holes with curtains, painted floors, Oh My!

A Little Birdie Told Me I Needed to Update My Blog...

...and, I know girls, she's right. I have so many great pictures taking up space on my computer and making is slower (as I've been told by my hubby:) that I've got to share some with you. Let's just call this a random-end-of-summer-post that must be shared before these ideas are past season! Enjoy!

If you're like me, you can't stand the thought of throwing away a piece of trim or ribbon that's anything longer than and inch! Well, pull those scrap sacks out and get busy!! Summer's almost over!

A Chocolate-Covered Girl's Room!

I probably wouldn't think to paint a little girl's room chocolate brown, but as you can see, in this case it works! I especially love the poofy curtains on the bookcase (an unexpected place to add a little fabric) and the pretty, sparkly dress above the bed. Doesn't every little girl dream of dress-up anyway?

Sunny Side Up!

It's hard to imagine waking up to this living space and not being in a good mood. So bright and cheerful!

I've been collecting some new images to share with you, so check back soon for more new posts!

Framed!

Frame decals are becoming easier to find thanks to places like www.etsy.com I think the ways they are used in these pictures are adorable--especially the armoire. What a great idea!

You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine

Come on...keep singing! Here are a few pictures with sunny yellow to brighten up your day!

House for Sale!

Anyone looking for a great family home in Deer Creek? If so, boy do I have a house for you! We really are selling our home...crazy, we know! I guess that's what happens when you're married to a realtor. Here are a few pics in case you need a little convincing!

If I Were 6 This Is What I Would Wear!

Do people ever say to you, "That looks just like you!" Well, I usually get that from my mom or my sisters when it comes to any clothing with applique, embroidery, rounded collars or puffy sleeves. They know me pretty well. Now, if only I could squeeze into a 6X, I'd be set in these adorable clothes!

It's in the Details

I don't know if I could live in this room, but I like it. I especially like the way the mirror was hung with funky striped ribbon. Hmmm...may have to steal that idea somewhere!

I Love Patchwork!

The title basically sums this one up--I love patchwork! Below are some pictures of patchwork items that I've either made or have been inspired by. Hope you are inspired to mix things up with fabric too!

The fabric on this pillow is actually all one piece--a dream come true for someone like me!

This ottoman inspired me to create a patchwork top for an old coffee table we had.

Adorable wall of vintage wallpapers.

Have Your Cake and Eat it Too!!

We recently celebrated birthdays for both of our kiddos. Sawyer turned 4 and Rawley turned 1. This post is to help open your eyes to ways that you can create a fun, creative birthday cake without being a Wilton Cake Decorating Genuis! (Think scrapbook paper flowers, craft letters covered in glitter, 90% off Christmas decorations, etc.) These cakes both got great reactions from the kids-- which is what it's all about!

This is the "And Eat it Too" part!! Yikes:)

Plaque You Won't Need a Dentist For!

Below are some fun ways to use simple unfinished wood plaques. Most of the ideas involve scrapbook paper, black craft paint and sandpaper. Let your imagine run wild with more creative ideas using plaques in your own home!

Add your own personal photos for a custom look.

How about making coasters or a wall full of different sized plaques with family pictures and silhouettes? The possibilities are endless--and inexpensive!!
