LET THERE BE LIGHT

This room makes me super happy. So clean and bright.  Thank you Heffe for your great handy work on the beds.  Found Sea Urchin fabric and made 30x30 pillows. They are huge and perfect for a snuggle with a good book. The turkish towels were $10 from ebay and Sofia and Rubi are excited about their photo wall (4x4's from Target). Reading lights from Ikea add a touch more of gold. 

The brightest color ever! The girls loved it for a good 10 years. Bye, bye pink, you won't be missed.

 My Heffe, is the best! Builds me whatever I dream up and can afford.

 

 The black, pink and white continues

 I did about 10 coats of paint.

Although it was cramped and bright pink, there lives little girls who love to sing, dance and have fun. That is truly what matters

BUT... I'm a sucker for clean, white and happy.

Love her so much but most days it looks like this. At least she is studying.

OVERSIZED AND INEXPENSIVE PRINT

I still cannot get enough of these fab photos

 I love all those amazing prints out there, especially the huge paintings that cost a pretty penny. I went the short cut and got this ginormous black and white photo on paper for about $3. Yep, three bucks! 

 The trick is to email Staples and state that you want the poster print in B/W formate for under $5. She even made me an extra one of our girls. I'm planning to throw a couple large frames of photos and art above our couch. So original right?
This will be a must for Project Please Help. We have a few mommy's and a few rooms in the near future. Can't wait!

PATTERN LOVE

After being gone for 5 days with the girls I came home to the best surprise, new bedding and a fresh coat of white in our living room. Best husband award for sure! 

Our room is an ever-changing spirit of color and pattern but its a fav hangout and that makes it a permanent safe haven. A lot of love is in the room from the bed Jeffy made after I loved one from Room Service. The homemade suzanni roman shade and pillows I sewed. A constant reminder of family dwells from our picture wall and the family hand-me-down dresser. An Aztec love rug from a great uncle and knobs from my grammy's that was my home away from home.

My sweet friend gave me the garden stool and the metal longhorn was a birthday gift for my Texan man. Our first piece of art was bought from a friend for 50 bucks and I am in love. It reminds me that you can blossom anytime in any situation.

 Our room connects our family. Its like a link for our girls to bond with us in a subtle way. Sometimes I dream of a bigger house with more storage but we come last these days and that is fine by me.
