Maybe You Need Some Cushion

Several months ago I was looking at my living room and noticing that even though I had warm colors on the wall and in the furniture it still was a room that didn't invite me in. The sofa, no matter how beautiful wasn't beckoning me to sit. The solution - pillows. Bought some from Ikea at a wonderful price. They have such great selection. Great for those of us who are on a budget.

The chairs on my front porch needed life and I got these at a great deal from Kohl's



for $5. I love great deals. : )

Pillows are a great way to be daring with color and pattern. Liven up your space with these pillows..

Pottery Barn - Olive Tree Pattern Pillow Cover

CB2 - Taxi Pillow


Pillows can add a place of comfort, style and a pop of color. Have a great week all.

Things I'm Loving Right Now

I love beautiful photography. Photography that transports me into the scene and makes my senses come alive.

My husband kept telling me that I needed to check out these pictures of a guy he knows. He said his work was amazing. Well like any normal wife, I didn't believe him. After a couple of weeks he brought it up again, and pulled the photos up on the computer. I was speechless. The pictures took my breath away. This guy captures the pure beauty of nature, and I'd like to share some of his photography with you.

His name is Steven Stryde and he's a forestry officer. Can you believe

that this isn't his full time profession? What an amazing gift!

Take time today to enjoy the beauty and design of nature and let your senses come alive.

Change is Good

"The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. " - Anonymous

I have a client that just got tired of the color they have in their home. They were looking for something different, wanting change but not knowing how to get there. How many times do all of us who desire change always seem to get stuck in the familiar? However, sometimes what used to be just doesn't work anymore and that's when the push of change comes in.

So, the old brown walls that her kids had a lovely name for..lol..

was finally primed!

A beautiful rich basecoat color was added.

A lighter color on top to add texture and depth...

We still have more to do and as we make progress more will be posted. Come with us on the journey of Change.
