Decorating

I am majorly into decorating my house lately. I have found a ton of fun decorating blogs that have inspired me. I want to hang out with her, this one has lots of fun ideas, then there's this one, this one has some pics from a recent show (oh it makes me so home sick for the craft shows in Utah), and this one has a little bit of everything. Here are a few more. This is a good one too-great ideas from all sorts of people.

I have been so inspired by all the great stuff I have read, that I did a little spring refreshing in my house. I was really frustrated because I had a hard time finding the cute kind of stuff I had in mind. If I was in Utah, I would know right where to go to find some cute items. But here in TN, I had to work quite a bit harder. I bought a few things and then dug through my own stash for some things. Pic #1 is the shelf in my living room. I made it myself shortly after we moved in. My mom gave me the antique glass door knobs and I wanted a cool way to display them. Above the shelf is a wreath that I got at Michaels. I also got the apothecary jar there. I haven't found anything to put in it yet, but I'm still looking. The spools are some that I have collected for the past 10 years or so. The cute stitchery, in the black frame was made by my sweet friend Sandy. The key, which I found at Hobby Lobby is a picture holder. It's so cute. I need to make something to go in it.

Pic #2 is on top of my entertainment center. I got the scale on ebay. The pitcher is a vintage one I scored from my grandma. The sticks inside came from Michaels. The globe thingy and clock both came from Hobby Lobby, and the box is one that I have had for years. Pic #3 is in my dining area. The cute stichery here is from my dear friend Joanna. The picture holder thing is actually a vintage find. It's an old cashiers drawer. When I bought it, it still had some receipts stuck in it from the 1950's. So cool! The piece underneath is a vinyl tile. My mom had it made for me, where? You guessed it, Utah. I'm saving my pennies to buy tons of stuff when we go there in June.

I hope you are all enjoying your spring!
