Home Decor

Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Some of my posts from earlier this year featured pictures of our new home. Some were the building stage, then moving in...but I have not posted since. I went around the house taking pictures last night and while doing so, found some parts of my home a little bare. I went with the less is more concept...but I'm starting to think it's a little too bare. Help me out!
I would love suggestions!!!
(Sorry the pictures are a little dark, I took the pictures in the evening)

The front door with the wreath I made back in April. Click HERE for the tutorial.



The floor in our entry way. I LOVE the design!





The entry into the living room. Eventually the two windows on either side of the tv/fireplace will have window coverings with a little something above. Something like THIS .


I found this at Kirklands. I love that store!


On to the kitchen. My star chest <3


At our house warming party I made huge batches of the drinks listed. I printed out the list and put it in a frame. I liked it so much...I just left it on the countertop.


I wanted to have my utensils handy so I decided to use an industrial size measuring cup. Fits my most used utensils perfectly!


Since moving into our home, we have been saving all of our corks from the bottles of wine, champagne and beer. I plan on making something out of them...suggestions?


Upclose.


The finale: Our bedroom. On the wall is our engagement photo with our wedding invitation. The curtains are a silvery blue, the linens either white or burlap and the furniture a deep dark brown.


Our bed usually has a really pretty duvet cover...but it was being washed. I want to put something above the bed, inbetween the two windows. I was thinking framed pressed flowers. Suggestions??


Close up of our lamp.


Another angle.


Pillows. Kirklands and Ikea.


Our bathroom. Definately needs more...something. Maybe carry the framed pressed flowers into the bathroom and put them above the towel bars? Suggestions???

There you have it...a mini tour.
Let me know what you all think!



Home Trends 2012

Monday, April 2, 2012

I have been researching to see what's hot in
home trends for 2012
...this is what I found:

Owls
Owls were popular way back in the 70's...I remember my grandmother having a miniature owl made entirely out of sea shells. Owls were a HUGE decor must have...I think it's still a little too early for me to incorporate this into my decor scheme. Although, I will admit that it looks pretty cute in the kid's rooms!



Decorative Stairs
Make those stairs REALLY welcome your guests! I could never honestly do this to my home...





Ruffles
I must admit...I love the ruffles!




Wallpaper

Do you recall all that wallpaper you peeled off of your dining room or bedroom walls? Remember the awful, ugly and tedious stages of removing that stupid wallpaper? Well guess what, it's back! Wallpaper is seriously back! Now someone, years from now, gets to peel off all the wallpaper you are about to put up this year! I am going to be considerate and stick with paint...






Color of the Year:
Tangerine Tango

Interesting....

Hot Trend 2012:
Global Style

I ~like~ it...
