Last Wednesday afternoon in the office...

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

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

I want to paint the office, so I tried my sample out. This color is really for the family room, I am sick of the blue in there. I am thinking of painting the family room & the office the same color...they are both the brightest rooms in the house and can take this deeper grey...

Keisha, these are beautiful! Do you mind if your layouts are pinned to Pinterest? I get so much inspiration from your layouts, but I do want to be respectful. Love the shipping tag flag! I think you are probably responsible for everyone buying tags today!

Almost done with my studio closet revamping! This is where I am at so far-and I am pretty happy with it. LaVaughn did a good job with adding the new shelves, love that guy! It looks so much better and it smells so good(not that it was ever stinky!)...just added a candle & diffuser. I will need to hang a few photos, and maybe a mirror-to make it feel bigger. I hope to add a new light & a french door in the next few months. Plus, a few more covered boxes or baskets while the Container Store has a sale going. I also want to spruce up that chest of drawers this week. The closet only had one shelf-LaVaughn added three...it is a big relief having more shelf space in there...

Hi Sandy...I made my scarves thinking of a few pins of mine on Pinterest. I just made a random chain and hoped that it turned out as well as the scarves I pinned, lol!!

Sherly, I have been a tad bit obsessed with Tim Holtz products! The wings are apart of his line-I think you get 2 sets of wings(large & small) and some crowns in a package. Oh, I also use liquid leafing over them to make them gold metallic or a bright metallic silver!

Where do you find white shipping tags? Love the tags!

I am taking a break-just for a FEW days!! We started working on my studio closet yesterday and my room is a mess. Today we will finish painting the closet with Martha Stewart's antique metallic gold paint from Home Depot. Then LaVaughn can start to hang the shelves-I am hoping that things turn out like the picture in my head!! I'll be back soon...

I have had these Making Memories chipboard hearts for years. When I first got them I did dress some up, but I had a couple more packs that I have had stash away. I like to keep them white and add just a few little somethings to them!

Inside of my little walk-in closet-this is where I go to use my Slice & do all my stamping/embossing. I keep all my clear/unmounted stamps in the white canvas bins. OK, so this closet is a mess in my opinion. I told LaVaughn that for my bday I want to jazz it up-something that I have been asking him to help me with for months!! I want more shelves & to finish painting it the metallic gold(it's only halfway done, lol). I hope that next month I will be able to show updated pictures of this closet!

My latest addiction-glitter ribbons spools!! LOVE love LOVE. I made all those necklaces on the dress form(lots of Making Memories pieces), they've been there for months-so pretty all together. I forget to wear them & that scarve.

I spent yesterday taking some new studio photos-while the sun was around. I just need to finish editing them...

We are well overdo for some updated furniture in our living room-it's been 14yrs. I was pregnant with Amira when we bought our current furniture, and it is still in near perfect condition. It's just a bit dated! It will work much better in the basement, which desperately needs furniture. Last week we bought these two Lyon chairs from Restoration Hardware, they came Monday. I just love them! Now I am having trouble picking a sofa-for months I thought that the Azure sofa from Crate & Barrel was going to be the one. I really love it, I just don't think that it will work with the chairs. I am now on a sofa hunt, sigh...

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::This month the JBS dt is lifting Jenni -this is my take on her page that is posted below...

happy haunting...

-------------------------------------------*Today I made my first fan/accordion flowers-using some papers & stickers from Making Memories. I've only just begun with this!!! I wish the light had been better-the photos are a bit grainy, sorry.

 

pretty buttons=love...

I LOVE buttons...vintage glass and mother of pearl are tops on my list. I thought that I would put my favorite ones on a mini cork board...

Last month LaVaughn hung my new ceiling medallion...

 

I painted the inside of my closet metallic gold. I plan on adding new shelves-it's a work in progress now.
