Amusing Monday Morning Read

While catching up on all that I missed on Houzz over the last month, I came across a really amusing and clever post by Architect Jody Brown. Pairing personalities with their architectural styles, these images were a fun read.

'Find your Architechtural Style'.......

Odd thing is that I would have liked to be in the Hampton's category when I was in my twenties and now that I'm older and into my thirties, I would love to be part of the Soho loft category (without wanting to date Kanye of course LOL).

Happy Monday everyone!

Oh Joy! It's a Boy!

My family and I have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy. His big sister couldn't be prouder and I am frantically planning the baby's nursery now that we know the sex.

Back in January I posted some lively and vibrant pix for a little girls room. All ideas for our little miss Diva in the making (aren't they all at 4 ?).

Little 'Miss Personality' Blog Post

Now for a baby boy's nursery,  I'm looking for a sophisticated 'cool boy' nursery but still with that element of fun!

Here are some images I'm using to put together some of my ideas:

These multi-bands and stipes are a really fun way of adding life and colour to the nursery.

Even a wide single band can bring in a more sophisticated feel to the room.

I absoloutely love this red and blue theme and what a great blue it is!

Fun with Argyle.... why not? Oh so Preppy!

Happy Decorating...

Back from my vacation and ready to go go go....
Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. I have been MIA for a little over a month but am very excited to see all the lovely posts I missed over the holiday season and early in this new year.

I have been working on adding some of my completed work from the past year and thought I'd let you in on another little sneak peak.

Hope you like what you see.

Look out for my upcoming portfolio... coming soon!

Trending the Union Jack

Hello everyone! I have been a busy B for the last week or so catching up on last minute work before we leave on our VACATION! Yay!

On today's post I will be displaying one of my somewhat newer obsessions (over the last couple years), the Union Jack. My UK born hubby couldn't be more thrilled about bringing this element into our next home. Here are some great ideas for styling and decorating with this fabulous trend.

What's a trend obsession of yours? I would love to hear about it!
