Guest Room Update

They've changed SO much - I must get new pictures. For now - here is the orange guest room - added the wrought iron piece on the side and moved pictures to the top - fun!

Enter idea I saw at Pottery Barn

Welcome to to the new guest room

So what did this have to do with that piece of wall decor? There it is! And it kind of goes with the swirly pattern on that PB pillow!

And on over to the corner where my favorite little chair sits - loves it

New Den Wall Art

I moved some art around because of THIS:

I've been eying it for a while - I just love it. It's a 40" square - so a pretty substantial piece of wall art. It's wrapped on canvas. I wanted it so bad, but wasn't crazy about the $300 price tag.Here is is on their site.

But never fear, when there's a coupon there's a way. I received a 20% off entire purchase for Ballard Designs Back Lots (outlet). I headed over and there, in great condition, marked down to $223 (before tax). So with my 20% off it was still $178. Not cheap enough yet. However, I went back and wall art was 20% off, and then another 20% off with the coupon. Yes, I purchased for $143 (before tax). That's what I call a bargain, right? Heart! Here's a pic I took of it in my casa - just hung it last night!

I think I need to take new pictures of this - I like it MUCH better in person - it almost seems bare in pictures?? I dunno! I ended up putting the piece that was above the couch in a guest room - perfect!

New Canvas Print for the Casa!

I found this today...

But never fear, when there's a coupon there's a way. Enter yesterday, I received a 20% off entire purchase for Ballard Designs Back Lots (outlet). I head to the gym on Sunday, walk over, and one was there, in great condition, marked down to $223 (before tax). So with my 20% off it was still $178. Not cheap enough yet. However, today I went back to the gym and waltzed over and wall art was 20% off, and then another 20% off with the coupon. Yes, I purchased for $143 (before tax). That's what I call a bargain, right? Heart! Here's a pic I took of it in my casa - haven't hung it yet though, clearly!

TOTALLY worth the $ - can't wait to hang it and take updated pics - YAY!

Green Guest Room Gets Wall Art

I finally got some good pics of a new project – wall art! For our wedding we had guests sign a piece of canvas that my sister had written a big M on! Then, 2 years later, my lazy butt had it put on wooden backers at a framers. Now, it hangs proudly in our guest room – I love looking at it. It’s about 3’x5’ – and I personally think it looks better in person!

farther away!

what do you think?!

It's electric!!

K - let me preface this all by saying that I think that color is WAY too bold (for me). Maybe on one wall? Or maybe on wall with a few horizontal stripes? I dunno - but it's INTENSE! K... that being said, here goes!

Love the curtain hung high, the "fruit" art, the blue chair, the "bird cluster, and that awesome blue lamp.

Um, too cute - matching blue lamp and awesome cluster of colorful frames/animals!! Also think those bins are TOO cute!


I love all of the seating! But now that I look at it - who would sit in that little blue chair?

What do you think? Lots ot like but WHOA that room is seriously electric!!

My Wedding Wall is Complete

I'm very happy with it - hard to get a good pic though with all of the reflections!! I like that it's right outside of our bedroom door!!! Hope you like. :)

And Another One Bites the Dust: Art!!!

Whilst at Z Gallerie for the green guest room pillow, I came across this little 26"x26" gem. It spoke to me. I liked how simple it was. I liked the shapes and colors. I liked the frame. It's called Warm Bubbles. It reminded me of planets. It made me smile. As did the price tag. $70.

I took it home knowing there was a chance it wouldn't speak to Austin. But it did. He also liked, as did I, that it was on sale. I actually got it for 20% off - $56. Here it is in our home (reflections and all) leaning against the wall.


We're thinking half bath OR moving the entryway pic into the half bath and hanging this in the entry way. Decisions decisions. Either way - I'm so glad I found it!!!
