Bath Towel Rack

Sorta like a wine rack but for bath towels.  I think these towels look SO cute rolled up and put in these diagonal shelves.  Cute idea!

Nautical

I just love this style this time of year.  Love the subtle nautical hints on this table.  Cute idea to put rope in vases. 

My favorite style of home.  American as it gets.  I love this beachy look. 

Love the navy stripes all over anything right now.  It makes an especially cute bathroom, though.  Love that starfish hangin out, too.  Fun idea for a towel rack: a ladder. 

Love the framed sun dials.  Simple and yet so stylish. 

Sea shells make such good shelf fillers. 

I really love the use of lanterns on this wall.  Also the beach sign.  That combined with all the baskets and urns is just terrific!  Especially the basket full of straw hats down there. 

This might be the exact same bathroom at a different angle.  I love the starfish on the walls!  I even like the wall paneling in this room.  I guess this is a great decorating scheme for a room with paneling.  If you don't like the color you can always paint it white and get an instant beachy feel. 

Love the huge rope hangin out up there.

Happy Spring!

Ceiling Medallion Wall Art

Isn't this a pretty piece of wall art?  Can you tell what it is?  A ceiling medallion!  Pretty huh?  I think it would look really cool with a mirror in the middle, too.  Check out {Sand & Sisal} for more info.

Custom Made-by-me Bow Holder

I sell these custom made from {my shoppe} and sometimes I just love the way they turn out too much not to share them. :)

A customer approached me recently with this bedding to match, and here's what I came up with: 

I love the curves on this frame!! 

So cute and girly. 

Just like the colors. :) 

I'm sure her daughter's bows will look adorable on this one. :)

Windowseats

I wonder if I'll ever figure out why I love windowseats so much.

They just look so inviting! 

Not to mention, they're a pretty creative use of space - resulting in more seating. 

I think they make the most sense in rooms that don't typically have couches, like bedrooms, playrooms, and offices. 

But, I like them in every room I find them in! 

They can act as a pretty and functional piece of storage. 

I mean, how practical is that in an office space!? 

They're just so cozy. 

They make a perfect little reading nook. 

Seriously, they're perfect in any room! 

Bathrooms...

Seriously, how beautiful is this!

And they look great in kitchens too....

Love em.

My Latest Bow Frames

I sell a lot of these bow frames.  They're pefect for storing all things girly, you just clip bows to the ribbons.  Anyway, recently I had a customer approach me with a new idea.  She wanted a fabric panel on the back of her bow frames.  I really like the way these turned out!  

It was fun to have just one more element involved. 

The fabric really makes them POP! 

She wanted three different frames, but just wanted them to coordinate, not match, so I had a lot of fun with that, too!

But, this last one was by far my favorite of the three. 

I love the way it turned out - even though it was totally by accident.  I spray painted it when it was too cold, so it went on all lumpy. 

So, I sanded all the lumps out, with plans to re-paint it.  But, when I was finished, I kinda liked the antique look.

So I left it. :)   

Here they are all together.  I think they'll be so cute on the wall!!

If you're interested, I sell these on Etsy at {Little Craft Shoppe}

Happy Crafting!

Bathroom Details

What is it that takes a space from being an ordinary bathroom to being a beautiful, serene, space?

Could it be as simple as decorative accents?

I think so.

Instead of a regular mirror, opt for a more ornate version. 

Make sure everything matches.

Put flowers next to the sink.

Organize every day items in pretty, apothecary jars.

Use dish plates to hold soaps.

Fold towels neatly and tie them with ribbons. so cute.

Use clever little storage canisters and shy away from standard builders issue mirrors.

How about a wall full of different mirrors?

Make sure your storage containers are lovely.

You can have a beautiful bathroom, too. :)

Bird Bath

Love this idea I saw on {Small Space Style}.  Cute little bird bath in your bathroom.  Perfect to hold and organize all those bath items in.  Isn't it cute!?

Magnet Bow Keeper

Great idea from {The Mother Huddle}.  It's a bow holder, made out of a frame and a piece of sheet metal.  Put magnets on the sheet metal and stick bows to the magnets.  Easy to make, easy to use.  Great idea.

Jar Dispenser

Love this idea.  Very Cute.  Check out {Decor Chick} for the how-to. :)

Windows In Unusual Places

We often see windows lining th wall in front of the kitchen sink.  Why not do the same in front of the bathroom sink.

How great is this!!  Wake up in the morning and look out into the beautiful world.  Of course, it would only work if you had a separate vanity somehwere.  I mean, we do need mirrors, people.

How about a wall of windows in the laundry room!?

It makes the space MUCH more inviting than most laundry rooms - tucked away in a dark hole somewhere.  Loving all the light.  I might WANT to spend time in a laundry room like this.
