My goodness I can't believe how quickly the year has past. I have been so busy and continue to finish up Christmas shopping and meal planning. A quick Merry Christmas to all. Blessings to you and yours. Will see you again in 2012. Remember...it's all about the things you love that make design Right.

Thanks HGTV

Getting ready to go to NC for some fun. Halloween Party and pics will be posted after the fact. In the meantime lets make some fun halloween exterior ghost. HGTV has given us easy ways to design some creative yard characters. Enjoy and Happy Halloween Ya'll.

Halloween 2011

I love every single holiday that comes into our calendar. What amazes me is how fast they continue to rotate. 2011 Wow...Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving again! Well, I have found such creative designs to share with you. Happy Boo Day to all. Blessings to you and your families.

The Twins Will Be Here Soon

"What are little boys made of?

Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails

That's what little boys are made of!"

We are so blessed to have two new additions to our family. Although, still in progress, our daughter and her husband are going to have TWIN boys. Their move to NC has been on-going and with all the renovating of the house these babies are adding so much fun to designing their nursery. Although, not complete here's a little preview of things to come. Our daughter wanted their room to be happy and feel inviting. I think she's done a pretty darn good job accomplishing this.  We are two Happy Grandparents!!!   CeCe and Poppi!
 

She used a beautiful tree vinyl tree purchased

at Babies R Us to highlight the theme. The flower

pud and snails she purchased I believe at Michaels

or Hobby Lobby.

Growing up and in college there were lots of stuff bears and animals,

she saved them for her children. As you can see she has them lovingly

surrounding the nursery. The Jenny Lind beds and dressing table she

has always loved. They are perfect for two little boys who I am sure

will climb out of them pretty quickly. The pokey dot area rug was

purchased at Lowes. Once the babies begin to crawl she will add

a much larger rug for them to move around. The walls are a soft green

paint from Lowes. The drapery, wall sconces and canopy are from Ikea.

The beautiful red cabinet was a gift from her dear friend and sorority sister.

 It now houses items from her childhood to share with the boys.

The little cradle is a gift from her Grandmother who is smiling from heaven.

She chose to a small white ceiling with a light fixture to give more light to the

nursery. And who can resist the beauty of hard wood floors!

NURSERIES and Nursery Rhythms

How much fun is this nursery design. An amateur artist from
Austin, designed this cute nursery for her son. I especially
love the giraffi. His expression and Elvis dark shaggy hair
is a hoot! She managed to keep simplicity in her design,
using elements of the clean lined crib, soft flooring, and a
palette of color soothing to the feel of the room. Well, a
huge congratulations on the birth of their son, and a design
job well done.

SARAH RICHARDSON HOUSE 2

I enjoy the design work of Sarah Richardson. I like her casual and functional designs. As I am working on a project I decided I'd post some of her work.  House 2 from her TV show. Enjoy. Lots of fun ideas and combinations of color/fabric/furnishing.
