GREEN, GREEN, GREEN!!!

This past week felt like a big whirlwind! My husband had job interviews in South Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona. So with good reason, I feel I have neglected my blog! We are jumping on a plane tonight to finally go home. Our daughter has been a champ through it all - she is now a seasoned flyer in her 8.5 months of life!

I had never been to the South, and absolutely fell in love with how green it is there! My husband and I kept saying to each other, "I can't believe how many TREES there are here!" I hardly got any pictures ( I don't know where my mind was) but as we were driving around with a realtor I noticed a tree periodically that had huge white blossoms on it that I had never seen before. After inquiring to the realtor if she knew what type of tree it was, I learned that it was the magnolia tree.

This isn't a picture I took (remember, I don't know where my mind was!) just a pretty photo of magnolia blossoms found here.

Anyway, so in honor of all the GREEN I fell in love with, here are some GREEN home items that I also love:
These are napkins! source

My Favorite Way to Hide Toys in My Family Room

By
We were is desperate need of something to hide toys in our family room.  In addition, I really needed something to go along the back our loveseat.  Below, is basically the view you get when you walk into our home.  I didn't want people to walk in & the first thing they see is the bare back of our loveseat. One day, I was meandering around TJ Maxx & spotted this cute storage ottoman.  Right away, I knew it needed to come home with me! It has proved to be a fantastic purchase for us!  My kids can easily get toys in & out of it.  It is also a very convenient place to sit & put your shoes on before heading out the door.  In addition, it can easily be moved around to the main sitting area if extra seating is ever needed. You KNOW you have made a good purchase when your husband has said TWICE, "Melissa, buying that ottoman was a really good idea."  Need some other ideas on how to hide toys?   Cute baskets/boxes , wall pockets (for books

Elegant Dining Room Makeover

By
I had the pleasure of helping a local client decorate their dining room.  The space was pretty plain and lacked personality.  I knew it had possibilities with those tall ceilings and beautiful arched windows. (Before) My client was very budget conscientious so I did not go over board on decor.  I was very thoughtful of the decor I suggested and made sure the items we put in the space really made a 'wow' statement. This is the mood board I put together for my client to show the decor that I thought would look gorgeous in the space. My clients' liked everything, with exception of the chandelier.  They were not in love with the one I selected and it was a little too expensive.  As a replacement, I found this chandelier that I think was even more perfect for the space. So without further adieu, here are the pictures of the completed space! Would you like help making your home a place you love to be??
