Valentine Banner

Valentine Banner

Banners are so much fun to make! I've been wanting to make one for a while now so I finally sat down and taught myself how to make crepe paper rosettes, cut the triangles, and got busy creating. They're pretty easy to make, especially if you have a lot of scrap paper and trims already at home.

I hope you like them.

I made two of them. One is listed in my Etsy shop

 and the other will be at the Mercantile Mall in my space. 

Have a great week!

Merry Christmas

Here are a few random Christmas photos from around my home.

Enjoy and thank you for stopping by and saying "hello."

RED

Style File- RED

There is something about the color RED that draws me in every time.  Red is a highly stimulating color that evokes happiness, love, excitement, and even hunger. 

I love the vintage typewriter and the screen on the back wall of this photo. The dark color compliments the red well.

I would love to have an armoir full of red and white quilts and a the dresser below. Both have a different style but I seem to be drawn to both. It's so hard to choose one style.





This is the photo that started my search for red and white photos. It's simple, clean, and inviting. It makes me wish for a farmhouse. 

Have a great one!!

The Man Room

The Man Room

I just love old globes. You know the ones... the ones with the perfect blue/green color. It was a huge obsession for a long time. In my old house, we built a wall unit especially for them and a vintage map. It was perfect... then a few months later we moved. We moved to a bigger house so the girls could have their own room. In the new house the only thing my husband asked for was to have one room that he could decide what went in it. I think that's pretty fair considering he lets me make the rest of the house as girly as I want. We call it the "man room" . Here's what he wanted....a big t.v., leather reclining chairs, and a monkey drinking booze print hanging above the bar.! I think I can live with that.


The frame on the bar really isn't empty. It is a poem my youngest wrote me when she was six. I just adore it.
