A Bit East-coast

recent layouts.

============================================================================

A few of my recent TCD's projects

===========================================================================

new stuff...

======================================================================================

First page, was done for my first post from TCD's design team blog post yesterday. I used her new Sweet Afternoon line and stamps.

======================================================================================

====================================================================================

These next two pages I have been working on for the past couple of days-I used BG Konnichiwa line

====================================================================================

Since it is spring break for the girls this week, I did a layout & revamped a page today! The card I did two weeks ago. I really love the new BG What's Up line-I seem to be drawn to the muted colors. I used it for the layout & card. Accordion flowers

====================================================================================

===================================================================================

OK, so one of my pages I did using Teresa Collins' Sweet Afternoon line was bothering me. I rushed to get it done after giving up on that page I did with Kiela & the butterflies(3 posts back). It still didn't turn out like what I had in my head, lol. But better then it was! I keep looking at it and thinking 'why did I do that and why didn't I do...' Oh, well.

Keisha, if you're not set, I would highly recommend either Revere Pewter or Edgecomb Gray, both by Benjamin Moore. They two of the most fabulous grays and Ben Moore is the best paint on the market. Edgecomb Gray kind of changes with the light and it can give a room so much depth.

Trell, thanks so much for the BM tip! I am going to check it out-not sure if I have ever looked in BM paints. Home Depot is just the place that we go to all the time.

I absolutely LOVE all the natural lighting your office gets, makes it look so awesome. Your home and your family are stunning Keisha. You are very blessed! I have Cloudy Day in my bathroom, it's very pretty but I don't blame you for not wanting it in the living room. I think they greys will look fantastic!! Please show us pics as you go, I really love "watching" you make your home beautiful. It's very inspiring.. Have a great day!! :)

GOERGEOUS.. I love the layout and the green and white look so fresh and inviting.. I love the grey colour as well, will you be doing that on all the walls or just some feature walls?? I just love the home you and your hubby work so hard at making so beautiful.

Nope, Angie...it will be the whole room(s). The girls & lulu have scuffed the walls and they need a fresh coat all over.

I started putting up some Valentine decor a few days ago. I will add a bit more to what's up so far, I need some garlands. I am not sure if i will make it or buy it! I did make the framed pieces with BG Kissing Booth line.

Two weeks ago West Elm had their pillows on sale and I had a 15% off email-perfect time to get some new pillows for the chairs. Again with neutral tones & metallics! I am waiting on one more pillow that was on backorder. I really love the Mongolian lamb and I would LOVE another-when they are on sale again. Our new sofa came yesterday and it needs new pillows-I am hoping for another sale real soon.
