Vacation Wall Art

Friday, February 21, 2014


I love to use art in my home that is personal to my family as I think that helps make our house a home. I am a big fan of Albie Design's. I would love the Washington DC, San Diego and the San Fran prints. 





I found a similar style of prints at Ikea of Paris and London which were some of our favorite vacations.

Do you have any travel prints in your home from vacations?  Or vacations you are dreaming about?

Meet the newest member of our lighting family...



And while we are focusing on the living room, don't our Kirkland's mirrors look an awful like these from Restoration Hardware?



WEATHERED ZINC TRIPLE FEZ MIRROR

$1495

I am so glad that Handsome Hubby (he's smart and thrifty too!) found our mirrors on clearance! They were $1400 less!

Update to Christina's Front Room

Sunday, February 16, 2014

Happy Sunday to you!  I am so excited because the Handsome Hubby is currently installing our new ceiling fan.  Yay!  No more boob light!


While we were all snowed in, we had dinner at Christina's house and were hanging out in her Front Room.  She mentioned that she really wanted grey walls instead of the teal that I suggested.  I updated the board and swapped the paint color, curtains and pendant light.

Here's a mini update for her dining room.  Christina already has  a gorgeous dining room, all we needed was paint, curtain and some accessories to tie it to the adjoining Front Room.
