Umbrella Stand

I want a fun umbrella stand for next to my front door.  Perfect for rainy spring days!  I think these are so cute, I'm really going to be on a hunt for something to use in my own house.

Bathrooms Galore

You know me and my love of bathrooms.  I think there are so many varieties in bathrooms, which is funny because it really is such a standard room.  But these varieties can make the bathrooms amazing, and they should definitely not be a room that is forgotten about!
I love the large tub that is placed in the corner of this bathroom, allowing there to be a separate shower and tub.  I also like the square sink.  And of course, a chandelier in any room is perfect for me!

I love the use of wallpaper in this bathroom.  And the vase with the long branches and flowers makes a great decorate accent!

Love the sink with the baskets underneath.  And that tub is fabulous, along with the tiles along the wall.  Beautiful.

Love that deep tub! And the vanity makes the perfect place to get ready :)

Would you not love to take a shower or a bath and stare out at that view?  How would you ever leave.

Love the shape of that bench.  Its fabulous.

The zebra mirror in this bathroom is the perfect accent! 

ADORE that wallpaper! Love love love!  And the gold sink is amazing :)

Brick on the walls in a bathroom?  Soo great! This bathroom looks amazing, and seems to have a great view as well!  Considering my bathroom is windowless, this makes me very jealous.

How big is this space that you are able to have a full-sized island in the middle.  The step up where the tub is really accents that area of the bathroom.

I love all the different bathroom counters that people use now.  This one is particularly eye-catching.

A mix of dark wood and white....heaven in my book :)

Which is your favorite bathroom?

Kitchen Tiles

Tiled kitchen backsplashes offer a wonderful opportunity to add some design pizzaz into the kitchen.  With all the different options available, you are sure to find something that is perfect for your space and style.  Of course, it is often an expensive addition, so the tiles must be very carefully chosen.  Here are some fabulous kitchen backsplashes that I just adore.
I love the use of subway tiles in the kitchen.  They are clean, classic, and traditional, and they really are beautiful.  In a beautiful clean kitchen, they make the room for crisp and clean.

Such a fun little accent on the wall above the stove.  I have also seen this done above a sink, and I think it really looks fabulous.  The multiple different styles used here looks beautiful.

I LOVE these beautiful shiny stainless steel small square tiles.  That is a lot of "s"'s, but seriously...do you not love this?

The use of a variety of different tiles fitted together like a puzzle really looks beautiful and unique.  I love the colors in these tiles.  But not making it all the way up the wall, the different colors do not become overwhelming.  This also allows you to splurge on some more expensive tiles, since you don't have to cover the whole wall.

I love the vertical tiles in this kitchen.  Definitely gives some visual interest, and I love the clean lines.  Very appealing.

More stainless steel tiles.  Love them!

I love these beautiful glass tiles.  Using accent tiles when you can is a definite yes in my book.

I surprisingly really love these beautiful blue tiles.  They are thin, have some shine to them, but the color really looks beautiful.  I normally am not into blue, but these really stand out!

Coral Bookshelves

I love the coral accent to the bookshelves in this room!  Having the back colored adds such a fun accent, and I really love how it looks.  Great way to bring in some extra color into a room.  You likie?

Pink Chairs

How fun are these fabulous chairs?  I love the color, the shape, the accent pillows...just about everything!  Every house should have some pink in it, and these are just a wonderful example.  Too bad I don't think many men would fall for these.

Closets Galore

The biggest thing I struggle with in organization is my closet.  I have a decent sized reach-in closet, but there never seems to be enough space.  I have too many clothes that I have to pack in and so it makes it a very tight space, and then I struggle with what to do.  I feel like I am constantly reorganizing, shuffling, and trying to make things fit.  I end up frustrated, and it never gets fixed.  Check out these two great reach-in closets.
I love the use of the shelves for the shoes, the multiple rods at different heights for hanging clothes, and the shelf/cabinet/drawers for delicates and other things.  This makes the closet look so much bigger, and so well organized!

Another fabulously organized closet.  It is so visually appealing, even when the doors aren't closed.  I would love to have a closet that looks this pretty.

And because I always love to dream about beautiful walk in closets, here is some delicious eye candy:
Beautiful, no?  Not a lot of space, but I'm guessing on the other side of this camera there is a whole lot more of beautiful organization!

Does this closet not make your jaw hit the floor and drool pour out?  Seriously?! AMAZING!

Easter Decorations

Are you ready for Easter?  I certainly am!  This year for Lent, I decided to give up not one...but three things! All sweets, chips, and pop!  Its been difficult, and I am so ready to sink my teeth into something sweet.  Besides the end of Lent, I always look forward to the Easter season.  It is the beginning of spring, a wonderful time of faith and celebration, and a great day with the family.  Although we don't do much to decorate for this holiday, there certainly are some cute decorations.  Check out some of these cuties:
Cute string of egg garland above a mantle.  This could be hung anywhere, and I think it looks so cute.  I love the bright colors of the eggs...it is another one of my favorite things about Easter!

How cute is this for an outdoor table?  Tie some plastic weighed eggs around the corners of a tablecloth for weights to keep the cloth down, and to add some festiveness to the table!

Bunny garland! Of course, I love it over the super cute sweet table as well.  How cute are those bunny bags?

Pretty use of greenery as a decoration.  Of course, I doubt those chocolate bunnies would last long in anybody's house.

Spruce up your boring candles!  These could be used all spring and summer long, not just for Easter.

Don't forget to add some chicks to your decoration.  I think these little chickies are so cute.

Make a beautiful table for your Easter brunch.  Tulips are the perfect Easter flower, and they come in a wide variety of festive colors.  

Use some branches and add some beautiful flowers and some feathered birds.  This is definitely an eye-catching decoration.

How do you decorate for Easter?  Stay tuned tomorrow for some more festive decor!
