Bedroom redo!

I get so excited when people ask me to do artistic things for them...like decorating, in this case.

When my sister decided that it was time to buy new furniture and re-decorate her bedroom I jumped on the opportunity to help out! I love making rooms welcoming and comfortable.
She found a picture that she loved in a magazine, so we used it for inspiration.


Rebecca has always loved anything red, white and blue, so naturally we used those colors.
I took that picture (over the chair) of Becca and Mike on their vacation last year! They're so cute.

This is Becca's night stand. There's her hubby, Mike, in the picture, and we found this great bronze c-130 look alike - Mikes plane!

Love!

I love taking bridal portraits.
Spring is so fun because there are lots of brides to take pictures of.
Here are some bridals shots I took of one of my beautiful friends!
I just love her veil! It was so much fun to play with.

Baby Art!

Ta-da!
Here it is Ashleigh!
The finished product that will be delivered the same day as little Isabella.
I can't wait to meet your sweet little girl! :)

Meaning

I found a picture that looks similar to this in my new favorite catalog, West Elm. (Thanks to Kaci Jill for showing it to me. I love it!) I really like how it looks, but there just wasn't much meaning to it. What's so special about sticking random letters together? Then I had the idea to use the letters that make up all the names of my family members. Here is the result! 10 first names and 1 last name. Can you find them? There's a pattern.

Plus, I decided that decorating with meaningful things makes me happy!

Spring!

I can't even begin to express how happy I am that spring is here!
Soon there will be no more cold!

I can't wait.

A few weeks ago I bought this little geranium for my porch.
Isn't it cute?
We just have a little, tiny porch at our apartment but I love sitting out on it when the weather is pretty. Especially with friends.

Welcome Spring!!!!

Baby Room!

Here is a project I'm about to start for Ashleigh's baby room.

Canvas and fabric ready to go.
I can't wait to get started!!!

Color Scheme Designer!

I've decided to take this blog in a new direction.

Besides putting up my favorite pictures I'm going to share neat links that I find.
School basically has me on internet/social network overload, so here I can post it, share it and save it for later.
