Powder Room Help

Hi all!

We have several rooms in progress in the house. One of those rooms is the powder room. I painted cream and tan stripes over a month ago but I have yet to find the perfect inspiration to decorate. I'm looking for 2-3 framed prints to hang on the wall in addition to a few knick-knacks for the counter.

Lately I have been leaning towards the color coral/poppy as an accent to bring a splash of color into the small room. Here are a few rooms I love with a coral accent.

I have come across these prints on Etsy and I think they may fit the bill.

10 DIY Nursery/Baby Projects

Good morning!

It's a gloomy morning here and it seems spring forgot that it already sprung. I'm trying to make the best of it by running errands and marking items off my list. In the upcoming weeks I have several nursery/baby related projects I hope to accomplish.

Like many people (or maybe I'm an oddball) I have been bookmarking anything that catches my eye for some time now. In fact, I have a whole separate baby related folder under my bookmarks. Weird? Maybe. Anyway, I figured I might as well share some of these cool DIY ideas with you all since I probably won't end up doing half of them at least not before June.

Here are 10 Fun and Thrifty DIY Projects

Have a great day!

Sarah Richardson

Hi all!

Sorry for my absence but we have had a bunch of company and we were out doing fun things! My baby shower is this weekend and I can hardly believe I am approaching the 30 week mark on Thursday. We are making progress on the nursery and I hope to have something to show you in April.

Unless you live under a rock you are probably aware of designer, Sarah Richardson. If you aren't familiar you are definitely missing out. I love her use of color and eye for design and thought I would share a few pictures from her portfolio.

Top 25 Rooms

Good morning!

Today a good friend is coming into town for a few days and I can't wait!

I ran across a posting of the top 25 rooms of 2010 and thought I would share some of the pictures. Click here for the rest!

I'm loving the bright pops of color in almost every room. I also notice a very collected look, which is definitely "in" right now. One of my other favorite things is the mix of fabrics and patterns in most every room, which plays into the comfy collected look.

Have a great day!
