Back on track! ~_^

Long time no blog {again :/} I apologize for those few people who look forward to my posts {if there are any at all.}

My new fave designer is: Sarah Richardson! She's absolutely amazing! I love all of her houses, and her shows are just fantastic! I've watched season 2 and 3 , Sarah's House all the way through every episode! Her show Design Inc. is also great! She got me started on HUNTER rain boots in SH Season 3 where she renovates a fab farmhouse! Heared of 'em? They are these fabulous boots that are the new thing! They prepare you for any and all weather and are sooo cute! Doing an ext. design job in the muck and mud? Pick up a pair of Hunters! They usually cost around $100 each! Not too bad eh? ^_~

Crate and Barrel has come out with some great new accessories! I recieved their latest catalog just a day or two ago and let me tell you, their mailing list is the place to be! They came out with some fabulous china thats smooth charcol on the outside and glazed white on the inside. I love{excuse me, want} them! <3

I might be making some new curtains soon! Theres a loomcraft right by my house so I can't wait to pick out something fabulous!

Tata for now<3

Add color to a bland room. No clash involved!

FOLLOW ME!(:
Who says BTS shopping is limited to tees and tunics? This year, make sure you check out crate&barrel as you make your merry way through the mall! The new school year is the perf time to spice up your space! With my help of course!(;

My last post was a link to the oh-so-fabulous Thread Banger, to help you put a stop to white walls. This week I'll give you tips that are uh...a bit more specific (and mine! loll)!

Begin by judging your room. Look it up and down and see if you can check off everything on my Do you have a good looking room(like a good looking guy except you spend even more time together! ;) list?
[] The color of my room is good. ie. not tacky, kitchy, smudged with dirt and years of damage, or just plain ugly.
[] My furniture is good. ie. matches or works well together. Not written on or hidden with loads of stuff.
[] My bedding and window treatments go together (and match my wall color). ie. similar colors, patterns, and oh yeah, not ugly.

If you weren't able to check off everything on this list, then you may need some help!
(more later)

I saw this and thought it was sooo smart and super cute! Also, I might make some video tutorials soon so you can see how to make something cool for your room instead of just reading about it! :)

Adding Pizazz to Any Lamp!



Is your room missing something? Try this 3 step inexpensive craft to give a plain old lamp shade, a face-lift!
1. Take the shade off of your lamp. Make sure it's turn
ed off before you do this and that the lamp shade is fabric!...Preferably one that's has no pattern or anything coming off of it. Like this one:

(target.com)
2. Get an embellishment! It could be a hair piece, a ribbon, or an embellishment purchased from a craft store! It might look like this:
(michaels.com)
3. Use a hot glue gun to apply your embellishment to your lampshade. (be careful! The glue gets HOT!)

And...Vwalah! You have a unique beautiful lamp, that no one else has :

Hope I helped!
