what’s emory wearing wednesday

i couldn’t resist posting emory’s sunday outfit this week.
ruffled blue cardigan from children’s place $16.00, pink rosette shirt from joe fresh style $10.00, knit button up skirt from janie and jack $12.00 (on sale!), patten leather boots from joe fresh style, and flower headband from gymboree $5.00
sunday is my favorite day to dress up emory.
nothing like a little church girl.
especially with painted nails!
btw- stripes are painted…

thrifty tuesdays: stripes and a little help!

i love stripes.
i am crazy about striped walls.
i am thinking about painting black & white stripes in my daughter’s room.
i have decided on horizontal stripes, but black & white?
now this is where you come in….
i am always the one giving design advice.
this time i want to hear your opinion, all of you:)
emory’s room has a slanted wall which makes hanging art impossible.
although i love this architectural feature, it can be very frustrating to decorate!
here is the wall.
so far i have done nothing with it.
the right side (not showing) looks very empty, it needs something!
here are my thoughts:
1. i love stripes
2. i love black & white
3. i love chalkboard paint
the hardest decisions, what size? what color?
this bathroom is fabulous but i think the stripes are a little narrow.

i love the width of the stripes on the drapery.
still to narrow?

wow, i adore this living room.
the stripes make me so excited to get painting.
maybe a little wider?

these striped drapery have the perfect width.

here is the wall adjacent to the “striped wall.”
now the big question, stripes or no stripes?
black & white?
i can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

folding screen headboard

while searching ksl i came across this bamboo folding screen.
i can picture it spray painted in a glossy bright color and used as a headboard.
what an inexpensive way to spice up a bedroom.
there are some many things about this bedroom that i love.
the folding screen headboard is definitely at the top of my list.

the repeating star pattern on this headboard is perfect.
it also works great horizontally.

a folding screen headboard is fantastic but i ultimately love upholstered headboards.
how about an upholstered folding screen headboard?
yes please!
i love the height and print on this headboard .

the lines on this folding screen headboard are amazing.
white cotton trimmed with black piping, can it get any better?

jenny from the little green notebook posted a tutorial on a DIY upholstered folding screen headboard. (of course she did, what doesn’t that girl do?)

if i had another room, this would be my next project.
