frame it

Trying to decide on wall art can sometimes be difficult depending on the room,space and budget but it definitely doesn't have to be. The inspiration for framed scarves has caught my eye for awhile now. What an easy and inexpensive way to create a bold statement for any room! All you need is a few fabulous scarves. Ebay, Thrift Stores and Flea Markets is where you will find the most unusual, vintage scarves out there that no one else will have.

My other obsession at the moment is the framed agates. You can find them at Jayson Home, Jonathan Adler, and Anthropologie. In choosing the perfect frame, be sure to know the depth of the agate so that it won't be to thick to fit the frame. I have always liked the simple look of the Ikea, Ribba Frame in White but there are so many modern, sleek frames out there to choose from. Michael's and Hobby Lobby are always good places to go for reasonable framing options.

What do you like to see framed on the wall....What inspires you for new Wall Art in your home?!

Happy Thursday!

scratch and dent

Last weekend, I went home to Jackson and hit up a Scratch and Dent Sale at SummerHouse. It is one of my favorite Interior Design stores in Mississippi and I could purchase each and every piece in the store. Each time I'm home, I always go take a peak.

I was so excited when I heard they were having a Scratch and Dent sale and it just happened that I would be in town for it. I sent my mom on Friday to scope it out for me but Saturday morning, I was there when the doors opened!! There were still so many great things and the prices had been reduced even more....Can't beat a good sale! I was mostly looking for anything nursery appropriate such as a chest to be used as a changing table or a chair. It was hard to refrain from buying anything else for around my house. I didn't find either of those pieces but I did stumble upon a chair for a client's house. I snapped a few pictures for you (but off my phone so they are a little blurry-sorry!) Here are a few pics of all the goodness.....

Loving this Emerald Green Sofa!

Small Retro Accent chair

I wanted this pair of lamps for my bedside table

Emerald Green side chair...took everything to hold me back from these

Huge grey leather ottoman

Armless, Taupe leather chair we purchased for our client.

Another fun pair of chairs

Pillow stash

Since I didn't find one at the Scratch and Dent, I decided on another piece I had been eying from one of our favorite accounts for a chest for the nursery (that I will also use as a changing table!) One of my favorite details is the hardware on it. My plan is to put a tall, skinny mirror above it. It is slowly but surely coming together :) Check back next week to find out if my nursery is going to be pink of blue--we find out tomorrow!!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Monday!

mixing it up

Happy Friday friends! I feel like this week ~~month~~ flew by but oh so thankful for another weekend! We are helping a client decorate their new, tudor style home. I was able to tag along with her one day to make a few purchases...... an abstract painting for above the fireplace, to start with! It is full of many different bright colors that add a pop to the room. And oh ladies....it looks so good!

We also decided to replace an old side table with a more updated one in between the two chairs in her den. It's amazing what replacing or adding one or two things in a room can do to wake it right up! It gives it an entire new look without having to spend a lot of money! I wish I had more pictures to share but I promise to come back with a few next time I am there. But in the meantime betweentime, let's take a look at the fixtures we are contemplating for her new space.
