Updates..

So a couple Weeks ago I Posted a simple Burlap wreath I did... I Decided it was a little bland and since spring was on its way i figured maybe it needed a little sprucing up!

This is it Before!


After...I Added some fabric flowers from a couple pieces of fabric i had just laying around!

Best part of this project is it doesn't take any sewing skills i learned how to make the fabric flowers from mysparkle.blogspot.com she does a great job at simply explaining the how to's!

Unusual Space

   If your looking for a little extra space for that extra bedroom or even office one unusual Idea is   turning that Shed Filled with tools and junk into a useful space.

They turned there small shed into a out door office! Perfect!

Be Mine!

 Valentines Day is around the corner! Whether you like to spend it alone with your sweetheart or have a Valentines day gathering with friends we have you covered!
This is a great Valentines Day outfit because its something you can go straight from work to out with your valentine!


If your not one for red, Try going with varietys of pink.

Valetines day is a great time to wear that ultra feminin dress! One Way i would add a little valeintines day color is maybe change out the white clutch with a red one, red tights or even a red lip!

I do.

Spring is coming and with spring comes  summer and once summer is  here so is wedding season! So It got me thinking of some beautiful wedding bouquet and center piece ideas....I think i might have a bad case of spring fever since its been so nice outside lately!!!


I love the mixture of simple white flowers and succulents!





This would be a great wedding center piece, and I think if your lucky enough it would also be great in your home!



 I Love the idea of simple elegant flowers with  rustic raw wood containers!




Beautiful succulent boutique! Best part about this boutique is some of those succulent can be replanted after the wedding!

Secrets of Simplicity



   A  while ago i read a cute little book about the secret of simplicity by Mary Carlomagno, Which had a lot of great tips on how to live better with less.... I personally love living in Simplicity for two reasons        A. Because i live in a very small home which mean minimal storage and   B. I just work better knowing everything has a place!
  The best part is she brakes it down into seven lessons so you can go at your own pace and has inspiring quotes threw out the book.


Theres beautiful art threw out the book as well!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Colors in your home!

  Next Time you paint a room in your home think of how you want to feel and what you want to achieve in that room before choosing a color! The colors we choose in our home have an affect on how we feel when were in that room!!



Yellow makes us feel cheery and warm, Yellow is best used  in a place to evoke energy so its put to best use in children's play rooms!

Blue is liked by most people especially men. It makes us feel peaceful and tranquil. Blues are perfect for space like bedrooms!

Red evokes emotions, associated with love, warmth, and comfort. Red also makes people feel hungry so its great to use in kitchens and dinning rooms!
