Modern House Minimalist Design

  Earlier this week I was contacted by Christophe Biret-Jacques, a decorative painter from France, who recently installed his company in Belgium. He wanted to introduce me to his beautiful decorative art : trompe l’oeil, murals, painted ceilings, marble and wood imitations. I couldn’t withdraw you from the beautiful images he emailed me.

  Earlier this week I was contacted by Christophe Biret-Jacques , a decorative painter from France, who recently installed his company in Belgium. He wanted to introduce me to his beautiful decorative art : trompe l’oeil, murals, painted ceilings, marble and wood imitations. I couldn’t withdraw you from the beautiful images he emailed me.

 Wow, it has been another busy week here! I have been working on something I will post about on Tuesday so I haven't been on my computer practically at all for the past several days! And I probably won't be on much again until next week. If you have sent us an e-mail, convo, or facebook message I will get back to you by the middle of next week.  I accidentally hit delete on our entire inbox the other day and had to weed through the deleted box  - which I hadn't emptied in a while - yikes - and attempt to restore everything that was in our inbox but I know I missed a few. So,  if you have sent us something and we haven't responded by Wednesday or so please feel free to send it again! We officially got the nursery finished today! YAY!!!!! I will do a full post on it next week including a cost breakdown (I have to add it all up, but I think it came to under $150 because we repurposed a lot of items we already owned).  Here is a little sneak peek, though: Now it's t...

I recently won a giveaway from Kristen at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia and was able to order something from Urban Farmgirl’s Etsy shop.  Do you know what fun that was?!  Mary’s Etsy is to die for, in my opinion. As most of you know, I love pops of bluish green throughout my house.  When I saw this great  tool box in Mary’s shop, I knew it was calling my name.  Why do I have such a thing for tool boxes?  This one was a great color and size and I loved it. Can I just tell you how many times I have changed up this secretary? I love this piece of furniture because it too was my nanny’s, but I am never quite satisfied with how it looks.  It can very easily be way too busy.  For now, though, the white pitchers are filling it in nicely and I love the old sewing drawer that holds wonderful old family photos.  Can you see the white rope on the bottom shelf?  That is a dog toy that I bought at the Dollar Tree.   I love it! I want to...
