Spring Is In The Air

I don't know about you guys, but I am tired of this cold weather! I am ready for Spring to get here! These photo's seem to remind me of Spring, so here's to thinking about sunshine!

(I have had these photo's saved on my computer for a while, so I don't remember where they all came from. Sorry for not giving the credit where it is due!)

Window Treatments

Window treatments can really make or break a room. If done right, they can add warmth, texture and sophistication to any room. However, covering naked windows can not only be tricky but expensive. My blog friend "The Nester" (if she were to ever read this she would say, I am???) does a great job of dressing her windows in an effortless and extremely cost effective way. Plus she understands the importance of placement with the curtain rod and fabric (i.e. the rod should be above the window trim or even better - at the ceiling - and the curtains should block as little of the view when opened as possible). Click on over to her site to see what I mean.

Here are a collection of some of my favorites:

Ballard Inspired Art

I was drooling over the Ballard's catalog during Christmas break and found these paintings that I loved.


I did not want to pay $250 for the set so I recreated the look myself. They now hang in my hall bath and I love that I have a "Ballard's look" for a much lower cost!
