See How Fashion Relates to Interiors

Hi Everyone,

Cynthia Rowley just recently advertised one of  her beautiful new dress  designs for Spring.  In My opinion, Its feminine yet simple and elegant and really the subtle touches in the details makes the design.  Ruffles around the neck and bodice, plus the interesting graphic design printed on the bottom portion of the dress.  Now lets take a  look at similar images as these dresses and translate them to the pretty rooms with interesting details.

Similar pastel colors in the painting and pillows.   Nailhead details on the furniture and pinch pleat sewing technique on the pillows.  The graphic design is mimicked on the rug.

Fashion  design very much correlates to interiors.  I wish I was a few years younger! I might just have to purchase that dress:)

Crushing Blue

Hi All,

This week I have spent many hours in my eldest daugther's room planning, prepping and decorating.  Her wish was a more grownup space, a little more removed from usual  color pink we have done  in all her rooms.  Somewhat reluctantly I obliged,  I  do love a pretty pink room, but I understanded her need for a color scheme change.  So she chose blue and I couldn't be happier.  It reminds her of the ocean and so many wonderful memories at the beach with her cousins.
I began with the paint, although I have read that painting should come last in the decorating process. She has a desk and bedding already and in the interest of staying within a budget we decided to keep these intact.  Choosing a color paint for the walls would have to work with what she currently owns.
 At the moment I am finishing up with the panels and plan to paint one accent wall a deep shade of blue, called Respite.  Danielle is excited, she can't wait to see that bold shot of color in her room.
All this blue talk has me dreaming of beautiful shades of blue in all the rooms in our home.  There is a plethora of  blue decorated rooms  on the web to take as inspiration.  Take a look at the  below images.  My  hope  is that you are  inspired  and take some ideas into your spaces.

Guest Bedroom Projects

Hi Everyone,

We use this room as a guest bedroom in our home, although, I think it was intended to be an exercise room or craft room by the builder.  Admittedly, I have struggled to decorate this space over the past couple of years, I think because of the size and we tend to put toys in here for the girls.  I will spare you the pink clutter and just show the bed for now.  Of course, there are several DIY projects here.  The most recent being the pillows on the bed.   The end tables I purchased about 15 years ago from a consignment store and really haven't done much with them.  I guess I just like them the way they are, for now, at least.  The pictures on the left are prints I took from an old Modern History book.  The colors in the prints were perfect for the room and well, inexpensive.  So here are a few pics for you.  Maybe you will take away a few ideas for your home. 









A closeup of the DIY Prints and the pillows



This summer we picked up from the beach a fun memento, driftwood, which I hang above the bed. It adds to the modern rustic feel in the room, I think.



Here is a closeup of the pillows on the bed with a pretty decorative stitch around the perimeter. I love the shades of green in the thread~I think it pulls in all the shades of green around the room.

Hopefully, I will have the slipcover completed in a few days to show on the blog.   I hope you are all having a great weekend and thanks for reading.

XOXO,

SK

Pretty in White Bedroom Reveal

Hi Everyone,

Difficult to believe this week is almost done...time flies when you are having fun.... I would have to say this bedroom is just my style.  Its has a vintage feel, with collected objects and whimsical details.  I think perfect for a little girls retreat.  This bedroom of course had a few DIY projects, my favorite being the lamp shade covers.  Such an easy DIY project with a big impact.  I will show you how I created these lamp shade covers in my next post.  I also painted the branches above the bed and added fabric covered rosettes to the wall.  Tutorial here for the rosettes.  My inspiration for the painted branches came from this lovely blog.  So here we have the finished project.

View from the door, I know bad lighting.

The headboard I repainted in a shutter gray several years ago and her bedding we had already.  Unfortunately, I don't remember where I got them.  That sweet pillow I purchased last year from Pottery Barn Kids on clearance and I took the same branch theme and painted it on the wall.  I  thought it would be easier  to paint the wall, since I am not sure this is our forever home and didn't want to rip down wallpaper.

Closeup of the lampshades and vintage lamps.

Reading nook on the other side of the bed

It was so magical to see my little girls face when she saw the completed projects and her finished room.  She was smiling ear to ear, a win-win...I am  in my element creating for my little sweeties.

Happened upon these beautiful images on Pinterest this week that I thought I would share.  I wish there were more hours in a day to blog, peruse pinterest and read others blogs...maybe someday when my sweeties are older...
