Treasure

 Finally a chair that was picked up off the streets by me with the help of my mother 3 years ago is  getting a make over. It just so happened the owner of it was bringing it to the  curb as we drove by and someones  trash is another ones treasure (Sometimes).  I could not let this chair go so we grabbed it. I always said I will reupholster it some day. Well today is the day! This chair has traveled from room to room in my house having everything just thrown on it. I decided it would be a neutral chair for anywhere in the house first stop the nursery.  Its a Good Day!

Does it Make a Difference?

Crown Moulding its a wonderful thing to add to a room but for many not the easiest to install.  We came to this bump in our road with the nursery. We have crown moulding through out the house but obviously left some spare bedrooms without since it can add up in the beginning of house renovations. Now that we are putting the room together for our new family member there was no question his room would have crown moulding. My husband has been working on putting up the crown molding with no shortcuts and the occasional question of does the room really need it? YES! If you don't have crown molding up I honestly suggest looking into it really does make a world of difference to any room. Of course its not cheap and not easy to install. But with a lot of patience and some time our nursery has crown molding and it really does look amazing! I think my husband is getting more and more into home design  uh oh!  With that being said he shouldn't have done such a great job I have (3) more rooms that need it! Here is a glimpse.

Weekend Love!

Since my weeks are slowly dwindling down to D- Day! I wanted to finish up some of the projects that have fell off the To Do list for me. I recently had to rearrange some rooms in the house for our newest member, but that's not always easy. The office became our dumping ground and its just keeps piling up! I want to at least try and keep it organized. Since my last post on organization I have to say I have kept up with it not to the fullest but almost! (its a start.) I found these great finds at +IKEA USA and they are the perfect fit for the room.  I wanted to keep it all neutral in color and a clean look since the room is so packed with things.  Loved adding a plant stand to bring some life into the room!

Giving it Some Love!

Monday Madness

Usually I dread Mondays but not this one, We have another SNOW DAY! Today I hope to tackle a lot of things I just can't seem to check off my to do list and its oh so frustrating. One thing I am trying to do today is to be more organized and stay that way. I spend a day getting all our stuff organized and say "I'm going to keep it like this" Yeah right! Give me two days and its all over the place. I have all the tools I need hopefully its successful! I am hoping it last the week! If any of you have good organization tips please share!!

Snow Days are Dangerous! (For my Bank Account)

Unexpected Snow Day= Online Shopping! I am always into reading a good book and love books on good house keeping, organization and entertaining. It was just fitting that I found the Madame Chic Book Collection.

Inspiration!

We sometimes need a little inspiration to get us going on a project , out the door  or whatever it is we need to do .  I love designing and making rooms pretty but it does not always come so easy to me with certain rooms. The nursery still is my biggest trouble project in our whole house. (8 weeks to go).  That being said I do love my self a good book. I have read these books below and even passed them along so others can get new ideas and inspired.  If you are in the middle of redecorating or even want to change up a room check out these books!

Love Grows

February a perfect month to talk about LOVE.  I recently did some rearranging in our home I think some call it nesting. I am on 32 weeks of pregnancy and just can't seem to stop moving or organizing things that are in my line of sight (not always good). I  purchased a sign from +Etsy that I have always loved and definitely felt it would be perfect for our home. Once it arrived it inspired me to change up our family room wall and make it about our home, I made the longitude and latitude sign (snow day project) but the piece that put it all together was when we closed on our house, the first owners gave us the original blue print of the home. This blue print showed it was a farm that had sold its plots and where the house would be built, dated 1959. I was saving this piece of paper for something special and decided it belonged on display. I would say we are  keeping to the request of the original owners
"Always have love in the home".
