A room with a view

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a file on there computer or a folder tucked away with ideas and dreams of how you want your house to look like or feel like. My folder(s) seems to get bigger and bigger all the time.

My new favorite show is "9 by Design" on Bravo. I'm no interior decorator, nor will I ever be one or have the talent for it, but I appreciate beautiful home design inside & out.

When I came across this picture it went straight into my home folder. I've always loved the look of these chairs and the exaggerated drapery and don't get me started on wallpaper. Yes I know it's so circa 1980 :) I'm a huge fan of it, but our walls are pretty heavily textured though I did find out that with backing paper it might just be possible! If we decide to do the addition on the house some day (i.e. more kids=more space) (another i.e...no I'm not announcing anything:) this kitchen table would be loverly! and I know now that with little ones dark cushions is the only way to go and I love the contrast of dark and light. Nate Berkus would be disappointed, but my flowers in the vase would probably be silk and not fresh. I'm not Oprah!:))

The past couple of weeks I've been doing some home projects...I'll share some pictures soon.

Saylors Room

the dresser is an antique that has been handed down from my mom to me now to saylor.

little peanut waving hi!


i've had a few people ask me to post some pictures of Saylor's room, so I'm finally getting around to it. it's almost done, with a few things here and there left to do. I have to give a few shout outs, first to my awesome dad who put up all the wood paneling and my mom who helped paint, and to my friends mother-in-law who made Saylors bedding, and of course to saylor's daddy who helped with all the hanging. we think it turned out pretty darn cute.
