A New Year Means a New Headboard?

I have been itching to change up my bedroom.
I still like it but I am ready for something different.
Remember how I got this fabric for Christmas?
I was planning on making pillows for my living room, but once the fabric arrived, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would look like on my headboard.
So, I quickly draped it over…
I had to railroad the fabric since it wasn’t wide enough, but I think it works.
What do you think?

So, let’s hear your vote:
1. Go for the headboard?
2. Or stick with the pillows?

Online Bedroom Design!

I hope you had a great New Years eve, I know I did.
We had a blast ringing in the New Year with some of our friends!
And to start the year off right, I thought I would share an online design board that I completed for a client’s master bedroom.
She wanted lots of pattern, color, and graphic prints.
I love the way it turned out.

My inspiration for the room was this Lansdale Bouquet in Spring Schumacher pillow.
One of my favorite pillow Etsy shops, Woody Liana, makes the most beautiful lumbar pillows out of this floral print.
I love everything about this pillow.

You also might recognize this fabric from this stunning office in Lonny Magazine.

If only it wasn’t $148.00/yard.
Although I do think the perfect fabric is worth the splurge, it can really transform a space.
What do you think? Would you splurge on the perfect fabric?

Time to Simplify!

This living room in Elle Decor is really speaking to me right now.
 It is crisp and inviting, the perfect combination, if you ask me.

And I am obsessed with those kilim covered chairs, they add the perfect ethnic vibe to the space.
If that space doesn’t make you want to rip down all your Christmas decor, then this one will…

Simple and clean.
Sometimes I think taking down Christmas is just as much fun as putting it up.
Anyone else excited to start de-cluttering?

2011 was really good to me.
It was my first full year of blogging, 289 posts to be exact.
Wow, who know I had so much to say?
And a big thank you to everyone who takes the time to read me everyday, this blog would be nothing
without you. 
I thought it would be fun to share my top 10 highlights of 2011, in no particular order…

Thanks to Jenna from q.a designs, she really worked her magic on this one.
I am hoping to make a couple more tweaks soon to help things run a little smoother around here, I can’t wait.

I was so flattered by all the blogs who featured Emory’s room, it sure gave me warm fuzzes!

Umm, how cool was that? Little old me in Adore Home?

I was thrilled when House of Fifty asked me to participate in their second issue.
It sure put a big smile on my face.
5. Online design reveals.
I can’t help but be giddy when after pictures pop up in my inbox.
I love my job.
I am still in love with my sunburst mirror, so easy and inexpensive.

Me on television? Quite intimidating but what an amazing experience!
I l-o-v-e my ombre art.
