New babies are so wonderful and such a gift. And to me, there is nothing more awesome than being able to welcome a brand new little person into this world than with a nursery that is just as spectacular as they are. Here is a collection of some of my favorite nursery designs I’ve find online. Notice that many of them have a common theme…who knew I was so hung up on birds and trees?

Pinterest a.k.a. my one stop inspiration station
My decorative pumpkin grouping, inspired by Pinterest. If you’ve been a reader of mine for a long time, you know that I am a pretty crafty gal. Remember when I used to scrapbook and post layouts all the time? (me either….) It truly breaks my heart that I have not scrapped since mid 2010. Lack of time and inspiration got in the way of me doing anything crafty for the last year… then I found Pinterest, and all that changed. {Read More}
Sponsor Spotlight: EasyCanvasPrints.com
An artsy shot of the wall behind my desk. See that photo there? The one of Jackson at the splash pad? It makes me smile every time I look at it. That’s why I hung it right above my desk, with all the other pictures and things that inspire me while I work each day. I’m happy to say it was a gift from one of Love, Life, Family…and then some’s current sponsors, Easy Canvas Prints. Their name really says it {Read More}

Home Decorating: Lighting Arrangements That Set The Mood

If there’s one thing that I’ve realized as I’ve been re-decorating the apartment, it’s that the right kind of lighting makes all the difference. Sure, you can make a room look better by hanging some art on the wall, adding new curtain or new bed spread…but without the right kind of lights none of those things will make the kind of impression they should. Love this one for a little girls room! It’s especially important to utilize windows for bringing {Read More}

Home Decorating: The $100 Bedroom Makeover – Before Pictures
My mom was super sweet and gave me her fancy four poster bed and armoire since she recently got new furniture for her bedroom. But after we got the bedroom furniture in my apartment I found myself at a total loss as far as how I should decorate the room. So I left it bare for a bit and reflected on what I really wanted my bedroom to look like. These are the before photos of my plain jane bedroom. {Read More}
Home Decorating: If your current decor is not working for you… change it
I took the photo above back in January. I had just fixed up Jackson’s play area in our living room, and I really wanted to show it off. The thing that I loved about it the most was the adorable foam alphabet puzzle I used as a “rug”. I loved that it sort of delineated the play area boundaries in a fun way….for a few weeks anyway. In a perfect world, that foam puzzle would have stayed right there {Read More}
Project 365: Day 13 – Sitting Pretty
One of my projects this week was stacking all my books and things pretty on this shelf in the living room. There are 5 total and I’m going to fix up one each week. So far though, I think I’m off to a good start…I just wish the DVD’s weren’t leaning.
