I so wish I was able to stick with one room at a time, but if I get an idea in my head, I just have to dive right in! I've been decorating the study in our home, which has become my own personal space that I will use as my office/craft room and I am pumped! Since my husbhand has an office the size of this whole house, and doesn't really work from home, I have staked my claim to the room. Below is a sneak peak of a few projects that I am working on or have completed:<br />

<div align="center">
The whole inspiration for the room started with this</div>
<div align="center">
picture and an orange candle stick. I knew I wanted</div>
<div align="center">
a punch of color, but needed to keep some black in</div>
<div align="center">
the room due to an oversized black armoire I already had</div>
<div align="center">
in the room.</div>

A small simple desk given to me by a friend</div>
<div align="center">
painted black. Currently looking for a chair</div>
<div align="center">
to go with it, and it as missing a knob, so </div>
<div align="center">
thinking of changing all the hardware out.</div>

The folding screen had a makeover as well with </div>

coordinating fabrics. I will use this as a giant</div>

Gallery Wall in the making. Decided to hold</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
off on painting the walls right now, simply because</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am wore completely out with painting the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
old house before we put it up for sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeping it neutral for a while!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the hunt for a few more things</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the room....chair, chandelier and maybe a rug</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so stay tuned!</div>

Hope everyone's Summer has been fun! It's been quite a while</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since I've posted anything to my blog, so much going on this past year</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but thankful to fit in a few fun projects. As you know by now I love repurposing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
old things around the house, or from a thrift shop. I always have my eyes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
open for the unusual that has potential! Below are some projects</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have recently completed:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all, how many times have you</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
passed up this eye sore at a thrift shop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or garage sale? For $2 plus some old</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paint, stencil and nailhead trim I had lying</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
around the house from previous projects</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I came up with this cute sign for the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
front porch.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had 2 of these parsons chairs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the garage that I wasn't sure</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where to put them or could</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
never find a cute slipcover for, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
other than solid colors....so</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I reupholstered them with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
painters drop cloth from Lowes, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ironed on a "D" with printer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
iron on sheets, and added</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some leopard print fabric with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nailhead trim to the backs. They</div>

So many times I have started a project</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and forget to take "before" pics, I caught</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this shelf as I started painting white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found it at our local thrift shop for $20</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was dark brown all over. I needed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some toy storage for my baby girls room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After painting, I sprayed some adhesive to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the backs of the shelves and applied different</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
print fabrics to it.</div>

Started out with black furniture, pastel pink, white and black accessories. Now that she's 2....I have been crushing on a more modern yellow and black color scheme. However, after an endless search of just the right fabric, it was decided that the fabric I had imagined didn't exhist.....BOO! But, found the next best thing, a soft yellow and gray chenille fabric which I overpaid for, but hey, I was tired of looking! I painted the walls a very muted gray and made an ornate stencil on the wall out of wrapping paper. Filled it in with yellow paint, made her bedding/curtains and then decided to add a splash (or explosion) of Aqua. So just in case I'm confusing you....the colors are now Black, Aqua, Yellow, Gray and White. I know....had to add the Aqua cause my 13 year old daughter no longer wanted the Aqua shag rug that she HAD to have last year and I felt like I needed to use it somewhere. SO.....here is what's been done so far. By the way, there is absolutely NO website for inspiration using these colors.....so maybe it will help SOMEBODY! LOL! By the way, I am doing this on a budget due to the fact that we tend to redecorate bedrooms in the house every couple of years. I am sharing some of my repurposed finds with you!<br />

I saw some similar to this at a high end decor store last week, they were made of polyresin, but who cares. I paid $2.99 for the set! They were $25 each at the decor boutique.

I am going for a high end look with a lot of repurposed furniture and finds. I am also attempting some custom work i.e.: 1st attempt at making an upholstered headboard. Secondly, I am trying my hand at distressing an old dresser/mirror found for $28.30. Since my current bedroom decor (mainly red/black, tan, leopard print...you know the scheme) with large bulky black furnture and a big honking armoir with the flat screen TV in it that can easily be hung on the wall to free space... is hanging on within an inch of it's life, it's time to do away with the dark dungeonous feel, and opt for a lighter, brighter (not to shabby) look. I am deeply inspired by Tori Spelling's bedroom. I am using a dockside blue, tan with white distressed furniture (still up for debate) however, am struggling with the accent color for wall frames, etc. 1. Black 2. Silver 3. Gold - happens to be my fave.....I am posting some inspiration photos courtesy of Red Chateau Home Decor, Ballard Designs and Oxygen's Tori and Dean. I will also be posting updates along the way, and of course, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!<br />

1st on the Agenda, choosing a fabric, everything will revolve around the fabric I choose for the upholstered headboard. So I have bought 4 yards of this fabric from Hobby Lobby. Then was able to match up some paint for the walls. I know I have 4 kids, and I know I let them walk around the house with food, and one of them happens to be a year old, but I still want ALL WHITE BEDDING. My husband is protesting heavily....<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, now for the fabric reveal...tada! I LOVE it....<br />

We are going to add turquoise and hot pink to the exhisting pastel pink and do away with the brown. I have never been more terrified to use turquoise paint, but here it goes! I am posting what her room looks like now as well as some inspiration we have found via the internet and shopping in various Juicy stores.<br />

Ornaments were found at Hobby Lobby and were half off this week! After the Holidays, I will simply put the glass back in and use them for something else.<br />
