"Harvest Arrangement"

I don't have to be an expert to do a flower arrangement anymore. Enclosed photo showed me how easy it is to make one. Just get a tray-look-alike plate, place some small squashes or pumpkins with branches or flowers from your garden or even pine cones.

You're done...

Have a terrific wk end!

"Fabric Combination"

Just wanted to show the combination of textiles in this children's lampshade Humpty-Dumpty fabric collection. By doing this design I am able to introduce another color to the product. Gingham fabrics are available in Pink, Blue and Green. Also, solid fabrics such as soft blue, pink and green can replace gimgham. All fabrics are 100% cotton.

The idea behind the Veranda Lamp is to have a pretty chic lamp with interchangeable shades.

"Chalkboards Stickers"

Just happen to find this product which I think is fantastic for children.

These are simple and usable decorative wall stickers that not only are fun but are removable. Perfect for children between the ages of 3-8 years old. There will be a time that your child will get a hold of a pencil or marker and write on the walls. By using this writable stickers they'll know where to go to draw their masterpiece!

Let them have fun...

"Welcome Baby"

"Welcome Baby"

No decorating blog today. I am happy to announce my first nephew. He arrived yesterday @ Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach, Florida. He was over 8 pounds and he is so handsome. Glad my sister is doing well and wish her and her husband all the best! Soon I will post pictures of the baby's room for decorating ideas.

Congrats!!!

"Going Green"

"Going Green" is not only the term we use now days to save energy.

I like to go green in term of colors. Don't be afraid to be bold. Green is a color of freshness, as you can see through out this dining room. From sleek Parsons Chairs to the paint in the upper walls, the similar tones of green are splatter very gracefully. Yellow is used to add definition and break up the color a bit.

The introduction of natural woods such as on the floor, dining table and chairs is also an important element to the idea.

Have a great Monday...

Love the idea of a different, Wedding Theme!

Get inspired by this paper Chinese Umbrellas in so many different colors. The orange, hot pink and soft pink tones look so refreshing against the soft teal color of the bridesmaids dresses. I just wish I could be the wedding planner!!!

Have a great wk end...

"Guest Rooms"

Keeping a Guest Room nice and cozy is a challenge sometimes. We end up using the room to store seasonal items or our sewing machine. A guest room should be simple and elegant in order to welcome your friends and family. Above picture shows you a typical space here in Florida. A simple Mate Lase coverlet with Palm Trees. A coordinating very tailored pleated Bed Skirt and an upholstered Headboard with a cording same color of skirt (olive-n-white). A couple of accent pillows and a throw finish this look. Next to bed a round table about 29 inches high and 25 inch diameter is dressed with a white linen skirt, a modern lamp, some books and a glass vase with flowers. The drapery panels were made of the same stripe fabric as the skirt. This was repeated three times though out the space. Use simple art like photographs!

Enjoy the company!
