Give A Little Love to the Polka Dots
So, I have SO many stripes going on in my house (and I am completely happy with that!), but I thought…. what about the polka dots?? They need a little love, too! Polka dots can be a really fun and easy way to add whimsy, drama, or texture to a room!
There’s An App For That!
I love my iPhone and my husbands iPad! One of the great things about them is that you can get awesome inspiration where ever you are! Check out some of these cool home decor inspiration apps!
Finally! New project reveal!
YAY! It’s finished and I can finally put the pictures up! Several people have posted about making and upholstering benches, chairs, etc… so I figured I would try my hand at it. My wonderful husband helped… a lot! =) We made and covered a bench! Black and white hounds tooth, you can’t go wrong with this classic look! Read The Rest
Rugs I like!
Well, like the majority of the other bloggers out there, I am in love with the chevron print! So here is my contribution for those of you who are looking for a way to incorporate this print into your homes! Read The Rest
Dining Room Pictures
OK…. it took me waaaaaayy to long to get these posted! But here they are! Finally! This is the dining room put back together after painting the red walls. Yes, there is still so much work to be done in here, but as I said before it will have to be done a little at a time…. and I am SO NOT patient!
By the way… I got this table and the four chairs at Ikea for $100 when I got married in 2007. Still love the table (even though it’s a bit small for company!) AND I picked up this wooden candelabra at a Cracker Barrel. It was a part of their Halloween stuff last year and I got it 80% off… it was like $4 or something like that. I love it! I’m kicking my self for not buying more of them. They would have been fun to decorate with for a party! I wonder how easy they would be to make….. Hhmmmm….
Now I need to find something to cover this lovely thing right smack in the middle of the wall…. yes, I know… it’s terrible. I do have my eye on a big round clock at hobby lobby though…. when I have the extra $40, I might just get it.
