My Doll House...

Hello everyone,

I am hoping that everyone weekend went well. Mine was great! My oldest daughter and her BFF came to for a weekend visit.  We all sat around and watched “True Blood” season 2.

I’ve been watching the show since the beginning and got them hooked recently so they were playing catch up most the weekend.

So while they watched,

I did a little shopping!!

And headed to my local Hobby Lobby; I went there for some paint and mod podge, but I spotted this huge clearance section and headed over there and to my surprise I found these.

What a great find! These puppies were priced for $34.95 and I got them BOTH for $3.49…SHUT UP!!!!

I do declare *she says in her best southern accent*

I have no idea, were I will hang them, but I’ll find a place. 

I also made some beautiful earrings, if I do say so myself, that will be sold at Eclectic Creations; I also finished my placemat wall art I blogged about this project last week 

Asian (sort-of) Wall Art.

I received the best compliment from my oldest, who thought I brought them from a department store.

HA!!

SCORE ONE for the M0M!!!

We still have a lot of decorating to do, and its fun.

I think I may have mentioned this in a previous blog; but, when I was younger I had always wanted a Barbie Doll house but instead I received the house that Barbie COULD not fit in.*rolls eyes*.

So being the little creative genius I was *clears throat*

I am. I decorated that house like a champ! I had the cutest furniture in my house, with the tiniest curtains that never stayed in place.

Until I glued them b*tches.

I never could get Barbie to fit.

All in all it was a wonderful fun filled weekend.

Enjoy your Monday BF (blog family)…

Wall Art...DIY CHANEL

We all know this symbol 

Chanel...

Here at

THE BIG BEIGE BOX

She enjoys her own version 

of this cool wall art coined Zevs from a graffiti artist

who uses this form of median, an illusion is created by the dripping paint from the logos, giving them an appearance of dissolving.

Our Home- Powder Room Idea

I so love this color. 

However, my computer does not do it any justice. 

Its a really pretty color, and I am thinking of doing the down stairs powder room/half bath room in this color. With a stencil (motif have not decided on the stencil yet) and a glaze so that its not so "in your face". 

One of my stencil idea is the Fleur-de-lis which means French Lily...

so very cool and popular these days on young, hip clothing lines.

Or maybe an Asian Motif

 I question whether this is an Asian Motif, but I am drawn to this design because of the old worldness it has. ( I know thats not a word.) 

The site has some neat pictures of wall stencil art.

I like this picture, but it's probably a bit much to attempt since this will be my first time stenciling. 

HMMM...

But this would look great IF done correctly.

Thanks for stopping by

My Style...Our Home

Over the past 3 months, I have been researching and blogging and storing information on my computer, oh my poor computer, on what I think will look nice in our new home. I went as far as to take a test on D.I.Y that will show you different samples of home designs, and once you have completed the test it will then 

 adds every thing up and and as a result of  my style it said my preference is Zen...

GO Figure!

I love the minimalistic design of Zen or Asian Design. 

I also am a fan of old world styles, like Italian Moors,Spanish designs. 

I am not sure how thats going to all  work, but with the vast amount of information I have gathered and whats in my head.

I will come up with something!

So I am sharing with you a few samples that I will either make, create or buy. 

Depending on my mood.

Enjoy

I never thought I would be a fan of Sun Burst but its starting to grow on me.

Sunburst with small mirrors.

I have two end tables that I plan on refurbishing, I plan to paint them black and then find a piece similar to this one below to place in the upstairs hallway.

Pictures and Art work

I enjoy art. And when the mood hits me I will pick up a paint brush or pencil and begin create.

Not only will I incorporate my own art in my home, I plan to use my children's art work as accent pieces.

I love the colors in this piece.

Simplistic, yet Bold!

Lighting. 

Is the one thing people neglect when decorating their home. 

I plan to have a nice selection of lighting in my home.

Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg soo much to do....

Zen Inspired Rooms

There is definitely a theme going on for decorations in our new home.

And I am fortunate to have a "hubby" that loves this particular style as well.

Boys Room Ideas

So much to do and I can wait to get started. 

Last weekend we went to Lowe's and let my son choose a color that he would like to have in his room he chose blue ( of course what boy doesn't like blue??) What is funny is I have a Sci-fiction theme idea that I would love to do in his room and the color he picked is called Deep Space Blue Valspar.

 He has a huge steel framed bunk/ futon bed and he loves Transformers. Because we are a blended family, my "hubby" has some of his sons art work when they were my son's age now which is 10. The artwork, which is Sci-fiction, will go great with the theme I have in mind. 

At any rate, I have some pictures of great ideas if you are thinking of redoing a boy's room.

Interesting color choice for a boys room...
