Guest room headboards {home decor}

Well, they're not technically headboards really. But over the bed decoration. Again, I pulled my inspiration from a song. Vertical Horizon - Sunrays & Saturdays.



I wanted to add a little happiness and a sense of welcome to our guest room. It stays full during the summer & fall since we're at the beach!









The frame adds a bit of sophistication, don't you think? And the frames are hung up high enough that they are not in the way if our guests want to read in bed.



Don't forget to come visit us - The beds are waiting!

Pinwheels Round 2 {reunion}

The pinwheels got to party two weekends in a row! My 10 year high school reunion was last weekend and my plan was to do simple decorations with a focus on photos from our high school days. Our colors were navy and gold, so I reused two of the pinwheels from the Francis wedding and covered the middle with gold cardstock. My mom found these great gold mums which I covered in navy and white fabric. To display the pictures, I used double sided tape to attach a clothespin to a dowel. Stick the dowel down into the potted mums and clip your pictures in clothespins. I also made two banners for the walls!











And the reunion was a blast! It was great to see everyone and act like we are still 18!

home tours

It's about time for a home tour, I do believe.  We've been in our new house about 2.5 months now and we have slowed drastically on the painting, decorating, improvement projects, etc.  But it's summer and we live at the beach so there's no time for house work when it's so great to be outside:)  Let's start the home tour with the dining room! (mostly because I'm super excited about the farm table CAT got me).

We painted of course. Wolfpack red. The contrast on the beadboard is fantastic and the vaulted ceilings are great.
Here's some shots from around the room:



I want to get an oversized picture for the display shelf or cover some canvas with curtains from our old house that won't work here.
Now for some shots of the table:



The table is exactly what I have been searching for for 2 years and CAT got a wonderful deal:) Couldn't be happier!

Happy Monday! {festival recap}

Good morning lovelies! Monday is here once again. Did ya'll have a fabulous weekend? We had a busy one round this parts with company (!) and the Emerald Isle St. Patrick's Festival. I truly had no idea what to expect since this was my first festival. I learned that this is more of the drinking and dancing type festival than the buying type. However, there were tons of people there and I got lots of great feedback on all of my stuff. The cards were a big hit, as were the name signs and the Annabelle bag.

Here's some pictures of my booth.








And even better news, Kim from the local coffee shop offered to let me put my stuff in her shop to sell! She already has an empty rack that I can use for my cards. I will be doing that this week!

Fashion Friday Home {Outdoor & Parties}

A little different approach to Fashion Friday today.  One of my favorite things about wedding and party photo shoots is the inspiration I get for decorating, both indoors and outdoors.  My lovely sorority sister, Elissa Keno, recently stylized a stunning Bohemian inspired wedding shoot (shot by the talented Kellie Kano) and let me tell you, the inspiration for a casual chic outdoor space is endless!







I want the table, chairs, china, glassware, flowers, and bunting in my back yard stat! Add some friends, yummy food, good spirits, music and the Crystal Coast breeze and you've got the perfect evening. Ahh, hurry up spring!

Check out more of the lovely shoot on Elissa's blog, Annabelle Lane.
