Modern Nurseries

I am not a "girly girl" I don't do the whole baby nursery with ducks and bows thing.  I love that nurseries these days are getting more bold, they are rustic or shabby-chic or modern, but few of them are really "baby".

Shabby Chic



Rustic



Modern
 
  


Ahhh, so fun!  But there are many more styles out there - monochromatic... eclectic... girly... etc.

Old to New

I love the concept of taking something old and making it not only functional, but amazingly beautiful!  There is so much creativity out there with so many fun ways to take things and re-furbish them without spending hundreds of dollars for similar products from fancy stores (I won't point fingers, but we all know)...


Who doesn't love this whole - old window to what every you want look?




So yes, windows are fun... then there are the doors!  I die. Just die.

  


Now all I want to do is go find old things and make them pretty!!!!

Seeing Spots

Polka Dots are in right now (at least that's what I keep telling myself and my two polka-dot sweaters)... but seriously, they are adorable.

Big Dots, Little Dots, Red Dots and White Dots... Sorry I tried for Dr. Seuss got, bad arrangement of words.

Okay, that... was much more like Dr. Seuss

Be Bold - Use Color

Holy Smokes!  The first blog post - that's a big deal... so what do I blog about, in design related things?  I think... color.

It seems like these days most people are going for the muted colors, or the all white designs... meh... I say - go bold or go home.






Seriously... who doesn't love at least a little bit of color?
