Fresh Picks: April 2012

Happy April! Spring is in full force here… which means I have been doing some organizing & cleaning, planting new flowers, brightening up our home and switching out my closet! What about you? Any annual to-do’s being checked off on your spring lists?

Spring on the Wreaths

It’s Spring… hopefully you are feeling it outside too! I L-O-V-E the warm days and cool nights… don’t you? One of my favorite things about the seasons changing is updating my decor! I especially look forward to popping ‘life’ back into our lanai’s/porches.

Giveaway: E-Design It!

Happy Monday! I am not sure why time is flying by so fast, but I can tell you I am so happy its spring! Spring is my favorite season! I love the flowers, colors, the weather, the clothes and the days of longer sunshine! I just love it. Summer comes in to a close 2nd, but spring just does it for me! So… To celebrate the start of spring right, I thought it might be fun to host my own little giveaway…

Cushion Covets…

Pillows are a bit of an OBSESSION for me, I won’t lie! My husband always cracks on me about it (& I usually won’t admit it to him), but I do L-O-V-E decorative pillows. I’m still VERY into paint patterns, chevron, ikat & classic patterns too! I like to change around the pillows in our house from time to time… Kevin always says… here today, in the bedroom tomorrow. What can I say, I move things around a lot!

Trend Watch: Color It In!

Color blocking… It’s a HUGE trend this year. Have you noticed too? I am sure you have seen it all over the fashion world… I know that’s where it first caught my eye…

Fresh Picks: March 2012

Happy March friends! I am thrilled March is already here…. I am a big ‘spring lover’, so the faster I get to put out my spring wreath, plant new flowers and brighten up our home for the season the better! Plus, I can’t help but l-o-v-e spring clothes… (I am such a girl). How about you guys? What do you look forward to the most about the pending spring season?

Trend Watch: Ikat

Hi! It’s Wednesday… already, can you believe it? Happy Leap Year (day)!!! It’s been a pretty busy week over here! We are preparing to finally open up our e-shop, doing a few lil diy projects and picking out new paint colors for our bedroom. (What can I say, I love to change things). I’ve got TONS in the works that I just can’t wait to tell you about! In the meantime… It’s all about Ikat today!

Rehab House Before’s

Happy Monday!! Hope your weekend was full of fun and relaxation! I had a list of to-do’s… I just didn’t get to all of them! It just makes for a busier Monday, that’s all!

I am really excited to show you today’s post! It’s been a long time coming and I have been talking about it for like EVER. Remember the good ol’ rehab house we bought and are fixing up? We posted about it, oh… like back last April… wow! It’s been almost a year, so in case for some reason you can’t remember the ugly house… here ya go…

Color Crush: Chartreuse

Friday I showed you some candlesticks I had picked up from a thrift store… They were brand new from Crate & Barrel… still had the packaging and tags on them. I am not sure why someone wouldn’t have taken them back from store credit or a refund, but I sure am glad they didn’t! Anyways, I had been ‘eyeing’ those candlesticks for awhile… it’s something about greens that have me a little excited these days… especially chartreuse!!

Score! Fun Finds…

Happy Friday everyone… Hopefully all of you have a fun weekend planned! I am hoping for some sun, fun & family time. I also have a few diy plans up my sleeve!! Right now it’s a bit cloudy, so we will see if my plans come through or not. For now, I want to show you what I scored late last week…

Office ‘Lineup’: Painting Stripes

We painted stripes, again.

Remember awhile back when I mentioned we had plans to (finally) design our home office? Well… it’s happening! Actually, it happened! We are in the ‘styling & decorating’ phase of this fun little project and I can’t wait to show you the entire project!! You are going to love it (hopefully)! But for now… I am only showing you the accent wall phase…
