I hope you are having an AMAZING week so far!  If you’re not, I hope that rest of your week goes well.

I wanted to share a few fun DIY home furnishing finds.  I’ve been on a kick.  ;)

I love the headboard! Fabric with a fabulous pattern can always make things beautiful!

I LOVE this look...New Paint & fun fabric will spice up your old dinging room chairs.

Hope you enjoyed these creative ideas as much as I have.

Happy Thursday!

Feliz de Decoración…

If you don’t speak spanish, you’re probably asking yourself, “What does that mean?’

It simply means, Happy Decorating!

Do you ever look around your home & say to yourself, “There is so much more left to do.”

I do, quite often actually.  I feel like I still need to find a few more accent pieces or that perfect piece of furniture for that little nook.  I move things around over & over til’ I feel like that specific item finds it’s little home.  Crazy, I know.  I feel like everything has it’s perfect place & you shouldn’t buy something or hang something if you really don’t LOVE it & if it doesn’t make you feel happy.

In my opinion, your home should invoke positive emotions on the inside of you when you come in or sit in the living room sipping your coffee or tea or whatever you fancy.  ;)

I love my home & I love decorating, so maybe that silly feeling will never go away for me.  I asked my husband the other day if it was normal.  (Probably a silly question) He didn’t really have much to say…must not be his thing.  Ha!

I’ve been browsing around the stores for the after Christmas sales & I’ve come across a few things that I will put on my “I’ll think about you for months list.”

I almost hardly ever buy anything full price, especially furniture, so I stay patient until I feel like it’s worth the purchase.

Two of my favorite home decor stores are Pier 1 Imports and Kirkland’s.  I feel like these 2 stores best capture my home decor style.

Here are a few things I have my eyes on:

LOVE this bookshelf from Kirkland's. I want to put it in my entryway. I think it's classy & fun!

Option 2 for the entryway: I love this "tree hanger" from Pier 1. It also comes in Antique White if that's more your style. It would be nice to throw your bags, coats & keys on when you walk in the door. A little less dressy than the first option. ;)

I have had my eyes on this bad boy for months! I would love this in my dining room area to use as a buffet table or even in my guest room to be used as a dresser.

I love this look for my guest room as well. I bought a bunch of paint to cover all of my dark brown furniture that is presently in my guest room, but that project has not been started. ;( Someone encourage me!

This traveler's chest would be perfect for my guest room...It's kind of a world theme from a lot of the countries we've visited on mission trips. This piece is from Kirkland's

Here is a similar, smaller chest from Pier 1.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my choices.  Where do you shop for home decor/furniture?

Feliz de Decoración/Happy Decorating!
