Budget friendly easter decor ideas..

After visiting the Williams and Sonoma outlet store today I was inspired to update my Easter decor but don't want to spend a lot of money. Below is a picture from their site with initial pillar candles which could easily be stenciled on pillar candles from the dollar store and placed in hurricanes or pillar candle holders. Use white candles with colored initials or colored candles with white initials. Get really creative and line your mantel with a row of candles that says Happy Easter

social networking finds

I have to say I love social networking because of the postings by creative people that I never knew before like this Jace Interiors & CreateGirl. My wheels are already spinning and if I didn't have 2-2 yr olds running around I would be on my way to buy a plain white canvas and create my own.

One day....

I love Kenneth Brown's work and one day, yes one day when I don't have jello smeared on the walls or double sided tape stuck to my dining room table I plan to have a room just like this...

Say CHEESE.....

Yesterday a close girlfriend, Miracle stopped by to take pictures of the boys and of me. I've been wanting a picture of myself for my blog that wasn't of me cutting off part of my husbands head to just get my head. Unfortunately my almost 5 yr old was up in the middle of night with the itches (dry skin) and when he wasn't awake my 2 yr old was. I don't know why I always manage to have the worst nights sleep before pictures. Hopefully you can't tell! I also hope you can't tell that we had a crank-pot on our hands too. He woke up a little early from his nap.

Snow day project maybe???

Living in New England has it's benefits but frequent snowstorms may not be one of them unless you're a snow lover and that I am! It makes for great project days. I've been wanting to redo my 2x2 ft powder room since we moved into our home 3 years ago. I've had wallpaper design ideas in my head for years but trying to look through books and books of wallpapering seemed like such a daunting task that I just dealt with the drab sad gray that the room still is. Then...........I saw this great idea on one of my favorite blogs (how creative to do the ceiling) 3 men and a lady

and while I'm at it maybe I will head to the bedroom
