<div style="text-align: center;">
I had planned to do some major spray painting, but unfortunately the rainy weather prevented that from happening. It forced me to turn my attention to this trunk that I have had collecting dust in the garage. I am in the process of revamping my screened-in porch and needed a coffee table. I am challenging myself to use what I have in an effort to redesign this space with little to no cost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I decided that I wanted to use the trunk, I did a little searching for some inspiration pictures. That's when I came up with the idea to paint out the hardware. Here are a few pictures of some other options. My option was quick and fast, but if you have more time on your hands these other options would be really fun. </div>

I knew the trunk could use just a little umph ( yes, that's a word!) I had some left over metallic paint from a previous project and decided to "sparkle up" the hardware. It took just an hour or so and ta dah- a fun bohemian inspired design plan emerged. I'm also considering adding some legs to the bottom. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned. I'm hoping to finish and show you more pictures by the end of the week! </div>

I'm going to try not to use this post as a platform to complain about the weather. I just have to say that my attitude will continue to be poor until it reaches 70 degrees in Western NC. So brace yourselves. I'm pretty grumpy. Enough with that... on to my weekend!</div>

I spent some time chillin' with my girl. We watched my favorite movie of all time on Netflix, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and she loved it.This was very big to me being that she is such a tomboy. I also played some crazy video game with her and was horrible at it. Nonetheless, it made her very happy that I made the attempt. I'm all about the little things being big things in their eyes.</div>

I also really tried to ignore the weather and proceeded to get a jump on some of my spray painting projects. I've been wanting to spray these wire ginger jars for a while. Believe it or not, that's hot pink fluorescent paint. It looks red most often but I still like it. (I have 2- each shaped a little differently)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been trying to figure out how to configure this little vignette in our breakfast table area. I considered painting the wicker console a funky color but thought I would try using the punch of color in the accessories first and seeing how that would work. I'm pleasantly surprised how it has all come together.</div>

I also squeezed in a quick Goodwill diy. I could kick myself for not getting a before picture. I did not anticipate how much I thought I would like it. I was initially drawn to it because of the shiny gold frame but had a really ugly custom mat. I spray painted the mat black and added my own sharpie geometric art work. Pretty swanky for a dolla', huh?!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a great weekend!<br />

It looks like today is the day. I've been gone since November- over three months and yet it doesn't seem that long. I have had a multitude of events happen the past few months, the latest was my grandmother's sudden passing two weeks ago today. I wish I was one of those people who can juggle it all. I really needed to put some things on hold and focus on my family. I do desire to continue this blog and my design work that my grandmother was always so proud of. I wasn't sure for a while but I've missed having this outlet.<br />
<br />
Today, I am missing "Grandmother" so much and I dedicate this post to her .She was like a mother to me and there for me always. She was beautiful, thoughtful, and most of all, selfless. I am truly thankful to have had her in my life.<br />

When it is gorgeous outside, most people around these parts think about going on a hike or bike ride or hopping in the ole' kayak. Not me. I think, "what a gorgeous day to spray paint!" So, that's exactly what I did all weekend long.<br />

What I'm up to today, y'all! Painting makes me so happy.(So does that sunshine peeking through my window!) What are you doing today? Hopefully, something that makes you happy too.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wanna know what else makes me happy? My doggie, Birdie. She is just the best. She hangs with me through all of my crazy projects and keeps me company. One day I will devote an entire post to her because she's just awesome and is often times my favorite. Did I just say that? Sorry. I'm in the throws of raising a teenager. I'll be honest. Sometimes I like my Labrador Retriever better. As I'm typing this, my teenager has just walked up to show me that he pierced his ear. I'm going to go hug my dog now. </div>

Okay, so I've hit a tiny wall (not literally) with my never ending dining room project. As I predicted, the seats of the chairs are bolted in with some very strange hardware that I am probably going to have to take to my upholsterer to remove. I was really holding out hope that this part would be easy. Apparently not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a lovely birds eye view of the seats. It's so unfortunate that "Baby's First Year" yellow crunchy fabric is not "in" or these would be keepers: </div>

Ta Da! I think she is pretty happy now. This project calls for spray paint but I had tons of silver paint left over from my cabinet. Brushing it on seemed just as easy- it maybe took 15 minutes to complete. (And I didn't have to tape off any areas which was a big time saver)</div>

Have I mentioned that I love handcrafted items? Well, I do. I used to have my very own handcrafted boutique children's clothing line. I know firsthand the amount of hard work and dedication it takes to put yourself out there while painstakingly filling orders into the wee hours of the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I also mention I'm an Etsy-holic? I love skimming through different vendors looking for unique creations in fashion, jewelry and home goods, to name a few.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are the Etsy shops I'm featuring today:</div>

I am crazy about these prints by Geraldine Adams based out of San Jose, California. The clean simplicity of the illustrations and the combination of colors caught my eye immediately. I could see a grouping of these displayed on a large statement wall in a kitchen. </div>

How many times have you scrolled through a maze of pillows only to get overwhelmed, log off and take a nap? I just placed an order recently with this fabulous pillow company based out of Chapel Hill (I love to support my fellow North Carolinians !) The collection is carefully curated with current on-trend fabrics that makes the decision process easy- peasy.</div>

I don't know about you but I love when my Ballard Designs catalog comes in the mail. Even though my design aesthetic is a little more eclectic than what Ballard typically offers, I still find items I could mix in my slightly more funky style. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For instance, I came across this little collection of illustrated dog prints:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cZZpySAA5mNkVz-eLNhqUEavCV7D_XyyoHHxxOUFE4DlPU01uveApyLz8BT9_WZBgn7u9tMf1ggqjw4CL6SMD9UMJtIFbZWdPXOb26GVqXVBRIUiQmBRjGRpNCMPy1r0G0EDVhL7zK-A/s1600/ImageReader.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cZZpySAA5mNkVz-eLNhqUEavCV7D_XyyoHHxxOUFE4DlPU01uveApyLz8BT9_WZBgn7u9tMf1ggqjw4CL6SMD9UMJtIFbZWdPXOb26GVqXVBRIUiQmBRjGRpNCMPy1r0G0EDVhL7zK-A/s400/ImageReader.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So cute! I love how they are all in different frames giving the gallery wall the look as if they had been collected over time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, the do-it-yourself-er in me is considering drawing a few of my own. Some these illustrations have lines that would be pretty simple to sketch up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also reminded of this photo of designer Erika Powell of Urban Grace Interiors. I love the gallery wall of dog paint by numbers she slowly collected. Also, That daybed cannot be ignored. I believe she had it made. Gorg!</div>

Are you interested in starting your own collection? Just hop on to your virtual surfboard and hit eBay. They have lots to choose from and the best part is they are affordable. Yes, an afforable art collection. That could be an oxymoron!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a sneak peek of my current project:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One more layer of white paint on the interior and shelves and I'm done with this soon-to-be-fabulous china cabinet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Deadline: Today!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> This is where the fun begins. Okay, not really. I have to spray paint 6 of those chairs and THEN recover them in that fabulous lavender ikat fabric. I have yet to inspect underneath to see how difficult the seats will be to remove. I'm hoping for the easy button. Prayers, my people. Prayers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fun will begin when I am able to stand back and admire my completed dining room from afar.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Deadline: next week???</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Hopefully! I have to get the hubster to hang and assemble a few things. That can be a challenge because he works alot and when he's not working he's golf's alot. Did I happen to mention I'm quickly diving into this project because I'm hosting our family Thanksgiving this year? I think that might be a sign of the Apocalypse. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a nutshell- I am slightly stressing to meet some deadlines. I will have a more detailed post to follow next week on the design plan and details. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Friday!</span></div>

Maybe not. Well, I really do. Our old house did not have one. Anyone that stopped by had the pleasure of walking smack dab into the living room or as I like to call it- " the eye of the storm." With a foyer, you can give your visitors a peaceful entrance into you home : A room that no one is in for very long. A room that doesn't house a bed, tv or underwear. It's almost like a "pretend" room. Like "Come on into my foyer- I'm pretending the rest of my house you can't see right now looks just as clean and well kept as this!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a shot of the foyer before we moved in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I neglected to take a full picture of the "after" foyer. I guess because I change all the time there's not true "after". I find it really difficult to figure out when to take pictures because I feel like nothing is ever finished. I'm okay with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this little alcove seating area that I created. That bench has been in our family forever- this is the second cover I've had made for it. I have some leftover fabric and plan to have a bolster pillow made.</div>

I felt like it needed some funky art- so I painted up these little watercolors, painted the mats and put in some Ikea frames that I had. I keep thinking I may do a gallery wall of pictures here at some point.</div>

This piece is placed on the right wall looking towards the front door.</div>

I'm glad I decided to paint it. It still needs a coat or two of varnish. I would also like to put round pulls on it eventually to give it more of a Regency look. What do you think about my foo dogs? They were 7.99 a piece, although my friend Claire says I paid 7.99 too much. I'll be wrapping these up for her at Christmas. </div>

Getting up early on a Saturday to go digging through someone's junk in their yard just doesn't sound appealing. The usual Saturday scenario for me is to sip my coffee while watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians on the DVR. However, after coming across this delicious little book by Lara Spencer- I may have changed my tune.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> You probably know Lara from GMA. I bet you didn't know that she is full of decorating fabulousness and wrote a book about it. I can't even tell you how much I love this book. She moonlights as an antiques dealer and interior designer. She gives you tons of ideas of what to look for and how to change it, if needed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And, have you seen her house? TDF! Lots of pictures of her fabulous casa in this book. I love every stinking inch of this house. I did a little research online and found few different pictures that give a better full room view. ( Now I sound like a stalker.)</span><br />

Hello. My name is Tippi and I am a procrastinator. I am also a perfectionist. I think the two go hand in hand due to the fact that I like things to be perfect. So perfect that I can't even conquer something unless I can take the time to make it perfect. If it's not perfect - I ain't gonna do it! There, a project will just be on a list with other projects not getting done due to paralyzing perfectionism. </div>

I have also found that I am a terrible gift giver. I will try to find just the perfect gift for someone, passing over ones that would be just find in search of that one perfect gift. It becomes such a big task that many times I am giving gifts late or not at all. Terrible, I know. </div>

So, I thought I would just highlight a few helpful tips that I am going to try. I was on Pinterest recently and found this great post <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/160933386655354979/">here</a> about "Getting Sh*t Done". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <b>Create a routine</b>. This is super hard for me. Discipline is not my middle name. I do believe that this is so important and I'm gonna try dang it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <b>Make a daily to-do list</b>. The days that I actually break down and do this- it actually really seems to help me get things done. I have found that It's very rewarding marking things off my list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Don't <b>Multi-task. </b>Say what? I always thought this made one more productive. Not so. I am trying the one-thing-at-a-time mentality. It keeps me focused and less scattered for sure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <b>Silence the phone!</b> Need I say more?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5<b>. Do Those MIT's first. </b>Put those "most important tasks" on your list and mark them must do's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, now I can check this blog post off my list! Happy Friday!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you want to check out a good selection of these all in one place-<a href="http://www.westelm.com/search/results.html?words=baskets&cm_sp=OnsiteSearch-_-GlobalNav-_-Button">West Elm</a> is the place to be. If you are the shy type, they also have a great selection of normal natural variety.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are feeling at all budget-y, you could get out those acrylic paints and paint your desired pattern on a simple basket. You know you can do it. I smell a project in the works!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Monday- yes, Monday can be happy. You can do it!! Today I am going to leave you with a post about a closet quick change. A mini-boutique, if you will. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yikes, peoples. Now that's a big 'ole mess. Might I mention that I share this closet with the Mr.? I'd love to blame that mess on the floor on him- but I won't. Because I'm the perfectionist. Well that doesn't make good sense does it? My philosophy is that if I don't make time for it to be just perfect- it is going to be incredibly imperfect until it gets done. Sad. Weird. True. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the after. I think we can all stop screaming and breathe easier now. I cleaned out the clutter and ta da- I have a lovely place to keep my jewels, handbags, and zapatos. ( Please excuse that girl in the mirror- she's not her prettiest when she's in the midst of projects!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's how to create your own mini closet boutique:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Start with a cute shelf. I bought this one at a consignment shop. They are really easy to come by. You could also buy something new and similar </span><a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/search/search.aspx/2-tier-bookcase/?sstr=2+tier+bookcase&dim=1&nty=1&" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Line your shelf with some fun patterned contact paper. I found this on the clearance rack at Marshall's. You can find something similar <a href="http://www.chicshelfpaper.com/shelf-paper/customizable/zebra-print-7306.asp">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Add some fun books to stack giving your shelf some height. I love getting books to decorate with from thrift stores. I also sometimes find really good deals <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=books+the+devil+wears+prada&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Abooks+the+devil+wears+prada">here</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Use various plates, bowls, and dishes to hold smaller jewelry pieces. A larger bowl I had was perfect for housing some smaller clutches. I also gathered a couple of random dishes to hold some other loose pieces. These can also be found in abundance at thrift stores but i found mine right in my own kitchen. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. A jewelry tree is a must have item. I used one here to add some more height. It obviously serves a great purpose for easy access to my favorite necklaces. You can buy them for $10-$12.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD4TjAqcgH1EtutYOA4DK04RTsfa_nWwr9kHN4YtDWYQLDZcSTyboG8wP3rMdYEAjf8IpK0T4WDfmTVvBJKZogukr4ve5eXMrNuFxgmbqtfVNk9JjZF9lPuEn5lZfi-e5VdaqLDjVKbxPc/s1600/IMG_2292.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD4TjAqcgH1EtutYOA4DK04RTsfa_nWwr9kHN4YtDWYQLDZcSTyboG8wP3rMdYEAjf8IpK0T4WDfmTVvBJKZogukr4ve5eXMrNuFxgmbqtfVNk9JjZF9lPuEn5lZfi-e5VdaqLDjVKbxPc/s640/IMG_2292.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Add some pretty perfume bottles. As you can see- it might be time to replenish some of my favs.</span> </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGjrh1v_wLyUbNECK1whf3tfT9gVADlrG4wkYn65zGSx2rHNxfbzSEbii7-rY7S_wDnlxkJ-9Nnhdx6JVO-R7NO97RDmrAVZU-j3Ov3DJs8bSnDp34Y3FUTsiIc26X-uBeLnwuoYrMrkAi/s1600/IMG_2298.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGjrh1v_wLyUbNECK1whf3tfT9gVADlrG4wkYn65zGSx2rHNxfbzSEbii7-rY7S_wDnlxkJ-9Nnhdx6JVO-R7NO97RDmrAVZU-j3Ov3DJs8bSnDp34Y3FUTsiIc26X-uBeLnwuoYrMrkAi/s640/IMG_2298.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. Display your sunglasses on the top shelf. If you are like me, they are often times left in the car to get scratched up and damaged. At the end of the day they go back right on top of this shelf. Easy peasy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. Add a piece of funky abstract art work. I made this one. I recommend you make one too. So easy and el cheapo. Canvas and paint. Done</span>.</div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 8. Display those handbags! Mine were hanging on the closet door and stuck out </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">as you entered the closet. I like them much better on this shelf. Ah, more room!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9. Display a few pairs of your favorite shoes. This really serves no purpose but to give it that fancy boutique feel. It might even give you a little extra room on that shoe shelf to buy more.( just don't tell your husband! </span>)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10. Add a fun rug. You can find your own cute little 2 x 3 flokati <a href="http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Faux_Sheepskin_Area_Rug/410/">here</a></span>.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776581923002708851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009284328689114446.post-18791037571859097182012-08-11T16:43:00.001-04:002012-08-12T13:49:30.523-04:00How To Wear Ankle Booties<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a fun little post I created from Polyvore. So, if you feel so inclined to spend $350 on that lovely little Alexander Wang sweater- go right ahead. I'll be at Old Navy buying a knock off cheaper version.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This creation stemmed from a very recent purchase I made at TJ Maxx.( you know- where you find the max for the minimum!) I found some really cute ankle boots very similar to those pictured in the set and just HAD to have them. I had no idea how to wear them or what to wear them with. The fashion gods must have taken over my body because before I knew it I had left the store with those boots in my bag.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am also loving colored skinny jeans. I have several colors and think they are such a nice alternative to the usual blue denim. My bright pink ones are fabulous. I'm happily surprised how many things they go with. Besides that, I can cross the street with confidence that I will be seen by oncoming traffic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apparently I'm right on track with the trends because after doing a little research for this post I discovered that lots of fashion-y celebs are sporting these little numbers:</span><br />

<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a quick post to check in and ask the question what the heck happened to Summer? How is it the end of July? I was going to make homemade ice cream and have water balloon fights and most of all GET A TAN!! Dear Summer: I'd like a do-over please ! Before you know it it's going to be February and time to take the tree down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyhow, here's what I've been up to:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few months ago I was approached about designing a window for a bookstore we frequent in downtown Hendersonville. I was very interested at the time but I would be unable to meet the deadline due to other commitments. Luckily, we worked some other dates and here's how it all went down:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was given a theme " Ah, Summer in the Mountains". I originally thought I would use my son's kayak in the window and make it all "outdoorsy- sporty".I thought I could use his hiking boots and all that jazz to set the scene. Then I realized that it was destined to end up as "Blah, Summer in the Mountains". Boring and expected and not at all having my stamp of creativity on it. So, on to plan B I went.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plan B was comprised of displaying items that you might see smart booky- lovin people doing in the summer aside from reading. I wanted to draw people in with color and a touch of whimsy- and more grosgrain ribbon they've seen in their lives! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over several weeks I scoured over thrift stores (ah chew!) finding items to drag into my house for my husband and kids to trip over. Ah, the continuous ramifications of of mom's projects! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the end, my house looked like a bomb hit it. That's a true sign of the creative process working it's magic. </span> </span></div>

As a matter of fact, my children prefer to utilize this one as opposed to the one they share upstairs. That might be TMI- but that makes me really happy to think I have made this bathroom a really nice place to, well, you know...!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is my lonely little porch before. I love the style of this house. Very "mountain contemporary" but all of the stone work made the front facade seem very blah. Did I mention I love color?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have had these planter boxes for a while and thought I could paint them something fun and bright . Did I mention that I am having a yellow moment right now? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also had this fun red floral outdoor fabric around and made some pillow covers with it. I'd also love to paint those urns white but that's a project for another day. Maybe the bench should be white too? I think it works for now- (sometimes I just can't put down the spray paint!)</span></div>
