I love these wall length shelves in this bright bedroom. It is a functional headboard, that I think would be pretty easy to execute. One of our guest bedroom walls needs something and this may be it!!

Idea Gallery: Mailbox Makeover

I am looking for inspiration to fix up my mailbox. I have a beautiful purple flowered vine wrapping around it but the actual mailbox is very blah. This example from MyHomeIdeas.com is a pretty good example of how far you could take this- don't know if I would go this far but mailboxes shouldn't be overlooked. It is often the first thing you see when you pull up to a house. I am thinking about using a decal to decorate it or paint it- need to investigate further!

How Hard Would It Be: DIY Nightlights

I saw these at the Bee-Hive Co-Op in Mt. Kisco and thought they were sooo cute. I think these would be pretty easy to re-create. Stay-Tuned....

Craving: Crewelwork Anything

I am currently loving any kind of crewelwork. I have seen a lot of things recently in Pottery Barn and Anthropologie that are fueling the fire. The curtains above available in three shades(Anthropologie) are no exception.

Love the romantic feel of this kitchen. The glass cabinets, chandelier, and distressed long table are functional and chic. The long bench pulled up to the table is great if you are tight on space. But that table is definitely the star of this picture!

Things I Love Today: Bedroom Nooks

My favorite shell lamp and rocker. Bought the lamp several years ago when I barely had anything for an apartment, found the night stand on the street, and the rocker is an antique my parents passed on (cushion 5 bucks from Marshalls). In my opinion small little nooks make a house.
