Can There Be A Happy Marriage?

I spend way to much time looking on the computer for design ideas.  It's a problem, or maybe I'll just refer to it as a hobby.  My problem is I am indecisive.  I wish I could love something and stick with that style.  Here are some examples,

How can I have both in the same room?  I'm thinking of my front room for this marriage of "Hollywood Glam" and the "Traditional Blah".  The first picture I like the "hollywood glam"  (as it's referred as) feel of this room.  And the second I like the colors, I feel this is the color sceme already in the front room. The latter picture is a gorgeous room, but I enjoy the slap in the face of the first.

Oh, can this couple come together in a harmonious union?

Spring Green

My Spring-y piano top, isn't she so green?  Not to much just a little splash to freshen her up.  A little rearranging and something old looks new and fresh.

Now let's hope the weather outside can follow suit and spring up around here.

Bed Springs as Decor?

My inspiration thanks to Ty Pennington at Home Magazine.  Something cool and different, that maybe my neighbor might not already have.  And, if they do, wow they are super hip.


My interpretation of the bed springs -   

After a small purchase of wire and a few hours of bending and tying, Ta-Da a unique piece of art.

Like winning on the penny slots

I imagine this is like winning the jackpot on the penny slot machines, it's a great excitement but maybe a bit small to require a full on jumping and yelling scene.

But hey, I found one, everyone else has one and now I have one of my very own. It may be small but it's a start. It was a thrift store find to top it all off, too.

I feel like summer is over once the kiddies are back in school, but hey better late than never. So, now I can check off one more thing on my to-do list.

Isn't she lovely

It has always been a want of mine. My husband actually listened to me rant non stop for months maybe years, and he did it, he found me a piano. I just think some things kids need to learn or be exposed to as children, sports and music are some of what I think kids should learn or participate in. And it makes me so giddy inside that it is so pretty. Well, it has great potential to be lovely.

When it first arrived home.










And after some quick alterations.






The wall in my front room was built for a piano, it fits perfect.
P.S. Thanks to the family that gave her to us. We will love and cherish her, hopefully for a very long time.

front room

This is my room, I love this room, it is just for me to decorate. At least that is what I like to think in my head. On occasion I will allow the rest of the fam to enjoy this space. Also, I have had help with it, thanks Sara.

Let's see how many things have been altered, thrift store purchased, clearance rack or hand made? I can only think of the sofa, curtains, and rods as being placed as is from retail to house. Wait the rods were from a clearance store, and the sofa I asked for the sale price a month after purchase and I got a hundred bucks back. I guess still not altered though.
