Mirror collage art
Our entry way-mirror was looking a little dated and sad after hanging up with the same photos from our wedding reception back in ’03. Wow, can’t believe it’s almost been 9 years! And since it was coming down off the wall for our gray and white...
Gray Stripes on the wall
One of my posts last week showed some inspiration photos for Gray stripes on the wall. I jumped right on the idea because I loved it so much. I decided to paint them in my entry way/hallways because the walls were already white, so adding gray stripes would be the way...
Sheer pink nursery curtains
I was so inspired by these ruffled curtains by Urbanoutters.com that I wanted to try making some myself for my daughter’s bedroom. Aren’t they simply adorable? I love the color. I found sheer pink fabric from Joann’s fabrics and with my 50% off...

Yellow front door?
After living in our home for 5 years, we’ve known for a while that we need to paint the exterior. For some reason, I’m really liking yellow front doors. Owning a house is so fun. Being able to do whatever you want, (of course if it’s approved...
Inspiration: Horizontal Painted Stripe Walls
Today I saw a striped wall for a brief second in the house of Nate Berkus’ featured guest blogger. I can’t find out her name, but instead searched for striped walls. I really want to try this somewhere in my house. It looks pretty easy...
