These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

Home decor is all about making the spaces within your house a reflection of those who live inside. Here are some easy ideas to make your home reflect your heart.
Gather a collection of your favorite things & sayings that inspire you.
Draw from your childhood memories; cluster items which remind you of former days. This idea is perfect for a small space in an office or shelf in a child's bedroom.

Give special attention to photographs that capture the best moments in your life. Shadow or memory boxes like those shown here are available at craft/hobby stores and are an elegant alternative to standard frames. Including a tin word plaque within the arrangement creates a 'romantic' flair to the grouping. These granite pots are hand-me-downs from my grandmothers. Combined with a modern kitchen plaque, it's a perfect combination of old & new.

Bringing the Outdoors IN...

You can bring 'sunshine' into your house all year 'round (regardless of the weather outside) by incorporating florals into the decor of your rooms. This guest room is designed to mimic an English garden with the dominant bedside arrangement seen here.Old barn window frames painted white are draped with bright, cheery peony blossoms are a low-cost & easy way to bring the outdoors IN.
