Meaningful Artwork

Last year for spring break we went to Hilton Head and took a day trip to Savannah, which happened to be my favorite part of our vacation.  There is so much history to the city, the homes and gardens are so beautiful and we took a lot of photos.

Here are 2 of the photos that my husband took while we were there.

 

I loved them so much that I decided to display them in our bedroom.  It’s so easy to make photos into art to use in your home.  I simply downloaded the photos, then cleaned them up with Photoshop and also decided to turn them into black and white photos.  Then I went online to Fed Ex/Kinkos and had the photos blown up to poster size.  Not only was it very affordable (less then $40.00 for both) it only took a few days for them to deliver the photos.

The result…(click result for secretary makeover post)

I love seeing these photos everyday and remembering our vacation and I love knowing that my husband took these beautiful photos!  So much better then store bought artwork don’t ya think?!!

Another Chair

Besides loving pillows I think I may have a slight chair obsession too! I bought the chair awhile back and it sat in my garage until I figured out what I wanted to do with it.  Finally I decided to have a little fun with it. Here is the before… I fell in love with the frame, the cushion…not so … Continue reading

If you follow me on Facebook then you know that I was debating on reading The Hunger Games.  You see I tend to end up being disappointed (that’s a nice word) whenever super popular book comes out that everyone raves about.  (For example…Twilight and The Shack.) I finally decided to give it ago and I hate to admit it but … Continue reading

Pillow Talk

Today instead of posting a room where I obsess about someone else’s pillows, I’m posting my couch in my living room. From left to right…Target, Etsy, ZGallerie, Etsy, Target. Don’t get used to them though, they’ll be gone by Spring, cause I clearly have a problem. Do you want to show off your bed or couch or anything else you … Continue reading

I found this table at an estate sale this summer.  I bought it because I loved the lines. Obviously the table has seen … Continue reading
