Thrift Hope...

I am looking forward to the weekend. I hope I can sneak away for some thrifting. It has been a while, and I am needing some creative therapy. Here are a few images that are pleasing to the eye.

Have a lovely weekend friends!

Filling in the Blank Space...

So a couple of posts ago I asked your take on how you like to display or not your television.

Now I am curious. If you are using open storage, what are your thoughts on the wall around the tv?

Do you do something with it?

Like these frames.

Or do you leave it bare?

 To bad I don't have a mantle.

 I would love to have your feedback. I know for me I like having the open storage. But as I look at the blank space around the television it drives me crazy.

What say you?

And this image is totally random, but I would love to have this secretary desk!

Isn't it fab?!

How Was Your Weekend?

My weekend was full of inspiration overload!

How was yours?

 I guess I kind of had a thing for black and white.

=)

 Also, I am pretty sure I am leaning towards using a dresser or buffet as

our media cabinet. These two photos really inspired me.

While out and about this weekend this little cutie was sitting across the light from me.

I was smitten!

Especially it's color!

Cute, huh?

 Thought I had lost my daughter. When I found her, she was in a pile of blankets and pillows

playing her new Leapster game. She was really concentrating. =)

 We had a little break from out 100+ temps, so we enjoyed a picnic at the park...

And took some 4 year old photos!

I'll share them tomorrow!

Happy Monday friends!

See you soon!

How Do You Store Your Media?

HI Friends,

This is not my TV arrangement and I forgot to write down where I found it. (sorry)

It's so cute though, isn't it?

I would love to know what type of storage you all have for your TV. 

I am ready to make some changes in that department in my home. I am over the way I have things right now, but don't really know what I am wanting. I have just been keeping on the look out for something 

that calls my name. I would love to hear your thoughts. Your like and dislikes when it comes to media storage.

Hope you are all having a terrific Tuesday!

Question...

I am curious, if you were going to buy a new sofa today,

What color would you buy?

And

What do you have now?

=)

I have chocolate brown, but sure swoon over a medium gray.

Can't wait to hear from you!

Modern Living Space...

Swoon of the day!

Could there be a more put together, perfect space!? 

Love that carpet!

The Beautiful Spaces...

Some inspiring spaces for your Tuesday!

Look at that rug and the cute little TV!

Aren't those curtain fab!? Reminds me of Joi's!

AAHHH...

Soaring Plane and Sore Back...

Yes, it was on of those weekends. I spent most of the day saturday bent over putting this together.

It's a teeter totter airplane.

Man is my back sore! But all worth it because they were tickled pink!

And speaking of pink we had a big container of pink lemonade to quench our thirst.

YUM!

In other weekend happenings do you remember this table?

Well, when I rearranged the living room I needed a coffee table. That's where this table comes in.

I really didn't have any other place for the entry table and love it's shape so I thought, heck I'll just cut it down to coffee table height. 

Repurpose right?

 I am thrilled about it's new height! I have been staring at it for weeks now, just to make sure it was  what I really wanted to do.

Now the burning question is, do I paint it white?

What do you think?

A Bit O'Green....

Happy St. Pat's Day. 

I will just be relaxing with the kids today. I have been having some neck and back troubles so we will be keeping it low key for the next few days. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

And don't forget your green.

Living Room Love and Coffee Table Ambition...

Swooning over these two imagines. I have been considering cutting down the legs of the table from my entryway to make a new coffee table, then I come across almost the exact look. The only difference is my table is a bit longer and skinnier. This is the way my mind works. I am already thinking of where this "coffee table" will be going next. When we move into a larger home I would love to reinvent that table into a bench at the end of our bed. I don't have room for a bench in our current home.

This photo has nothing to do with the one above, I just love it! That fabulous sofa and the rug. I covet the wall color, art, and sweet side table as well.

Loving This...

Entry way...

And this living room.

Full Of Charm...

I adore everything about this home... Really. The french doors painted black, swoon.

This kitchen... so charming.

Love the subway tiles, the art, the cabinetry, the floor, everything!

BUT, I think my favorite thing of the whole house are these door painted black! I am GIDDY! It give the room a whole other vibe. So striking.

Monday Motivation...

Monday Motivation...

I look around the house and see so many projects that need my attention. But with 3 small children to keep me busy, those projects are on hold. That is until I feel like staying up all night to paint trim. One of the items on my list. For some reason trim work intimidates me. I'll paint anything else, but when I think about all of that trim my hand starts to cramp. So for now I'll just swoon over these lovely images. Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week!

Happy Monday!

Soothing...

I sure love this soothing color scheme, and the little bit of zebra print. So nice...

Just A Few Pretties...

Yep, these are random shot that just make me happy. The kind of rooms

 that brighten your day!
