The Wheels Are Spinning…

March 2, 2010 at 2:59 pm (Inspiration) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

The wheels in my head are spinning, the ideas churning around.  I said before that I have some big projects in the works, and when I said big I actually meant HUGE.  Here is a bit of the funky inspiration that is going on right now.  Soon I will hopefully be able to let you all know what is going on around here!

I love the shape of this sofa and the bold pattern is growing on me.  Just wait until I can tell you why I am thinking about buying this baby!

Maybe I’m loving the pop of color because I’m craving SPRING…

No, I did not disappear again!  Just so many changes are in the works, and I have been BUSY!  I will have many many updates soon! 

For now, here is the weekly chair love:

I’m a sucker for acrylic chairs.  And vintage leather cushion.  Love.

Chair Website Love

I came accross this very interesting web site with a bunch of great chair pictures!  It even describes this history of the chair.  Check out the website:   http://myamazingfact.blogspot.com/2009/08/sleek-funky-and-weird-chair-designs.html

And here is a sample:

I think this recycled chair would be very neat in a game room or boys room or hang out spot.

This one reminded me of how long it took to collect corks for my cork board! Also very neat looking!

Christmas Decor For 2009

December 17, 2009 at 11:59 am (Seasonal Decor) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

This year’s Christmas decor at our house is looking pretty similar to last year.  But, I did add one project, which didn’t turn out quite as planned, so I need all of your help!

Here is our tree, similar to last year, but always fun!

Here is the feather boa wreath- also always fun!

And the new project for the year was clear ornaments with the blue and peacock feathers in them for the table.  (Very cute when Rachel Ray did it!) My problem is that the ornaments were too large to fit more than a few in the cake stand.  Also, the feather look a bit blah to me.  What do you all think?  Hunt down smaller ornaments?  Different feathers?  New vase/plate?  Hmm…

Let me know what you think!

A Few New Scrapbook Pages

December 17, 2009 at 11:44 am (Scrap-booking) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

I have been getting some things done over my past blogging absence!  I accomplished many many scrapbook pages.  Here is a peak at just a few.  I hope these inspire you scrapbookers out there!  Feel free to ask any questions!

I personally like my pages to be handwritten.  I like the imperfections and mistakes.  It makes them feel more personal to me.  My pages are also always original.  Personalizing is my best advice for scrapbookers, it will always mean more in the end!

Hope that gives you all some ideas!  And feel free to give your ideas too!
