Incorporate This On Your Walls

I am always looking for ways to dress my walls!  

I go and look for inspiration everywhere but little did I know it was right in front of me.

(sorry for the lighting..it's in the hallway)

 I decided to use my daughter's art!

She draws every day..it's her passion!  What better way to encourage than to display her work.

I found the cork "bark" background at a local store.

Here is some other inspiration for you..

How To Decorate A Tall Fireplace Wall

Good Morning!

I love my job!  Being an interior designer gives me the opportunity to enrich lives and bring so much joy to clients as well as people I meet.  I recently got asked a question on how to decorate a tall fireplace wall and on a budget.

Here are some ideas that can be used as inspiration.

BTW..

I feel so blessed about my business.  It's growing and I must say I have the most awesome clients.  I thank God I get to do what I love.

Here is a sneak peek of a space I have just started working on ..

Some Vintage Scores

Good Afternoon!

I love a good garage sale and I have now got my daughter hooked as well.  We were on our way to the grocery store and we saw a sale going on.  I was doing my best to look away but she said, "Let's just take a look. "  Well, if you insist.

So here are her finds..

She got this for a $1 (I still have to take the orange tag off).  The frame was in rough shape so we sprayed it down with a silver metallic paint.  

This picture will go great with this..

 The candle sconce from Zgallerie still had the original price tag on it $25.  Yep, and we scored it for $4.  I am proud of my girl.  She can't wait til we hang up her finds in her room.

This is what I walked away with..

The paint on the legs were brown and chipped pretty badly.  This little stool ($8) needed some love.  Gave it a fresh start with some red.  I love it.

Then for me my ultimate find..

This was my Hallelujah moment.  Angels were singing and I made it mine ($8).  So for the total of scores equals to $21.  Yep, a real good day.

Do you enjoy going garage sale hunting?  What have been your most recent finds?
