Beautify Your Walls

I have yet to find the courage, or the patience ;), to stencil any walls yet.  But, one of these days, I am going to! :)  There are so many options to choose from, and I love them all!  The hard part would be deciding which one to do! :)

Newborn Photography Ideas

I just recently edited some newborn pictures that were taken for my best friend by my sister. :)  Chelsey did an awesome job, and Sophia is adorable!  This is one of my favorite shots from the session:

I just love newborn pictures!  I've also been searching for ideas for our quickly approaching newborn session with Immeasurable Moments Photography. :)  Here are some ideas I'm loving!

Dwell with Dignity

Dwell with Dignity is a non-profit group whose mission is to "help families escape poverty and homelessness through design; one household at a time."  Their goal is to "bring good design to those less fortunate, inspiring them to maintain a standard of living they can be proud of and thrive in."  Here are a few examples of their design work:

Gorgeous, right? :)  And so inspiring!  I've always prayed that the Lord would help me find a way to use my passion for design to touch other's lives.  Dwell with Dignity is an awesome example of how that can be done!  To learn more about this amazing organization, visit their website at: http://www.dwellwithdignity.org/.

Wednesday's Featured Space

I love this room!  It's simple, classic, and perfect for a little boy!  And it's definitely confirmed my love of the navy/green color coimbination.  That and the hubby deciding that he doesn't like aqua for Cole's room.  At least one of us can make decisions. ;)

Birthday Party Inspiration Board

I'm getting excited about Blake's 2nd birthday party!  I put together this inspiration board with some of the items I plan on using. :)  While I'm searching for ideas, Blake is sitting on my lap, a car in each hand, watching Disney's 'Cars', and shouting out "car" every time I find something with a car on it.  I do believe I now have both 'Cars' and 'Cars 2' completely memorized.  At least they're cute movies! ;)  Well, Blake should really enjoy this birthday party, because little man sure does love his cars! :)

Tuesday's Featured Nursery

I love this room!  The colors, furniture, curtains, rug, mirrors, and oversized frame are gorgeous!  The rocker throws me off a little bit, but it's still a room fit for a princess! :)
