HAPPY WEEKEND!

Geez this week has flown by! Hope you have had a wonderful start to your weekend. Here is some inspiration while you guys are working on your designs and DIYing:

The stripes create so much life, energy, and color in the space which really makes the furniture stand up to the boldness of the wall. Enjoy your weekend!

NEW PRODUCTS!

I have added two new sections to my Etsy shop, bookmarks and keychains. These new sections have made me decide that this is what my shop should be.  I am going to make the leap between random products to fabric and sewn items. Hope you like and you can go to my shop to see more products and pictures!

S'MORE ETSY

My mother has been a creating machine and has posted more items in her etsy shop. So I thought it would only be right to update you on some more of her items.

Perfect for the 4th of July

All of her products with the exception of the fabric puffy wreath are found in the Pacific Northwest, which makes each item unique and one of a kind. If you like what you see go to her shop to see more and stay tuned for more items to come!

PILLOW MADDNESS

Sorry its been so long since there was an update on the living room redo. I have mentioned in some of my other posts how expensive accessories for your house can be, so I decided to make some of my own pillows for my couch. I will never claim to be a master at sewing, in fact I am more closer to beginner than master, but I found sewing my own pillows suprisingly easy.

Remember the inspiration fabric? I made it into a pillow!

If you look closely on the blue and brown damask pillow (which I made!) it is the back of the pillow and you can see the top part of the pillow envelop.

I basically sewed the fabric into an envelop so I wouldn't have to sew the pillow shut because that would have been a disaster! Plus this way if anything gets on the pillow or I want to change the fabric I can easily slip it off and save it for another time. Hope you like!

FAV BEDROOMS ROUND 2

I mentioned how much I love my bed and being in it. If I could live out of my bed I would. Its so cozy and just makes you wanna snuggle into it. I found more bedrooms that I love for different reasons. Some of the decor I would never have thought to try. Hope you enjoy looking at some of these fun bedrooms and get some inspiration from them.

I never want to leave this bed!

Love the light colored wood panels on the wall...makes it feel so light and airy

Gotta love a bedroom where you can draw all over the walls and floors!

The simplicity makes it perfect.

Love the whimsy of the netting with the color combination.

How cool would this be for a little boy's room?

Which is your favorite bedroom/bed?

SUMMER'S A-COMIN' (HOPEFULLY)

All these pictures remind me of lazy, warm summer days...I can't wait for them to arrive!

NATURALLY NORTHWEST

Its finally here! I have been trying to convince my mother to start her own Etsy shop to sell all the things she loves...and she has finally done it!!! However, that meant I had to help her set it up...I designed a logo for her as well as an icon for her shop, Naturally Northwest. 

My mother's shop announcement says all there is to say about her design philosophy and love of all things found in nature:
"The Pacific Northwest is abundant with woods, water, and open spaces. I explore, collect and create from all things natural from where I live. My passion is collecting and preserving the beauty that I find everyday from my walks and explorations on the shores of the Puget Sound and the coniferous forests surrounding where I live and play."

Here are her first two products that she has up for sale:

Pinecone Wreath

Driftwood Wreath

Be sure to check back for new products in the near future!
