You may have noticed I am making some changes to my blog.  I am trying to get everything organized so it will be easier to look through.  Please bear with me if you have seen these projects in the past!!  The only way I know how to categorize is to post it.

Style on a Budget

I was in Target yesterday and was loving some of their new home accessories.  Their fun selection of lamp shades really caught my eye.  How cute are these?

There are so many great lamp bases to choose from too. Some of these would be cute in a kids room!  I think #4 is my favorite with the tailored white trim on top and bottom.  

Target has really come a long way!

My Favorite Window Treatments & Tips

Custom Window Treatments can be pricey!

The labor involved and the amount of fabric required really add up.  They also need to have lining and whatever type of hardware needed per treatment.

However, they are a beautiful addition to any space and well worth the investment.

I put together a little round-up of my favorite window treatments I designed the past couple of years.

This kravet fabric is one of my favorites!  I love the way it works up as a simple grommet style panel.

What I love about this stacked roman shade is the fact that it brings in the splash of color this neutral dining room needed.  The print is gorgeous it adds to the simple elegance of this dining room.

This simple roman shade in white with a solid color band looks clean and simple but brings in a splash of color.  I love all things that contrast and this roman is a favorite!

This roman works so great in this nook area because the room really needed a print and color.  With the wood table, chairs, buffet and flooring, the patterend fabric really softened the space.

This Schumacher print is also a long time favorite.

Not everyone can afford to bring in custom treatments but there are so many great semi-custom shades and panels on Etsy that can give you the look for less.  I have used pre-made treatments in many homes and they also add a beautiful touch. 

Take the time to look around at different options.  Also, be sure and check out this popular post on Drapery tips.

Have a great week!

Green & Gold Accessories

I have always loved green as you an read in this previous post and I am thrilled that emerald was selected as the color of the year.  It appears that all shades of green, not just emerald, are going to be big this year.  

I put together an accessory board to give you some ideas on how to incorporate a few pieces of the gold and green color trend.

1. Green Chevron pillow

2.  Geo print pilow

3. Chandelier

4.  Gold boxes

5.  Gold side table

6.  Gold votive

I think green is incredibly easy to incorporate by simply adding more plant life!  Succulents and Maiden Ferns always improve a space.  You can also use accent pillows or any other type of accessory to bring in the green or gold.  I have been eyeing that chandelier for over a year now, it is one of my favorites!!
