Fun With Frames

I have a few perfectly imperfect vintage gold frames in my shop right now. No worries if you don't have the perfectly sized art piece - you can still do cool stuff like this!

Gold on white - always right!

Show your home how much you love it!

Art is something one should never feel bad about buying. It is also one of the few things in life that appreciates in value - and who doesn't need a little bit of that! Nevertheless, not all of us are in the spot to make an investment right now, but these lovely works are affordable! And did I mention how pretty they are - and how perfect they would be for that spot on the wall?


Eve Simone's delicate prints are so nostalgic - they'd make me feel at home anywhere.

My favorite photo- I love the colors in the sky!

it's all you need

The makeover includes painting, furniture and accessories, and the winner’s room will be featured in the November issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine and on the website.

This bland living room turns into this:




...and my favorite makeover (sorry, I couldn't find the before photo), is a shabby-chic room made from mismatched furniture and accessories from the inhabitant's previous college dorm.

My favorites from this month's Domino - what are yours?

There was one piece in particular I really loved from the February issue of Domino. It was a piece on flowers as decor and the photography and styling was particularly beautiful - and achievable! What do you think - what's your favorite "flower style"?

Modern rustic?


Romantic sophisticate?


or Exotic bohemian?

There was also a house tour featured which had some nice photos:

Love the black for the bathroom walls, and the framed detention paper!
