gallery wall

Terrible picture, but this is our tiny foyer/entry hall. You may remember my post a few months ago, but during my 7th or 8th month of pregnancy I got a little antsy and wanted to get creative with the front entry. So...I decided to go with this chevron pattern. I was in such a rush for instant gratification that I just winged it without a template. NOT smart...the lines are so uneven!

Anywho, I am thinking about making a gallery wall of photos on this wall and I found some good inspiration as you will see below.

Oh, and just bought some more of that green paint to paint the inside of the front door and trim:). Crazy??? Maybe, but I need a change!!! Sort of like this color door...

but on the inside of the door just like this picture below...

except different door and no beautiful glass panes surrounding the door. Whatever. I'll just show you pics when I'm finished!

snow white

All of this snow talk is making me think of all pretty things white....

merry merry!!

This is so weird. A few weeks ago I bought these tags to do a little Christmas banner for our house and look what I found while browsing my favorite blogs...something very similar.

Dear Santa...

Can I please have a studio like this:

not sure about where i found this picture either???

AMAZING!!! I love it all...floor to ceiling and everything in between. This is what I'm currently working with...HORRIBLE!!!!!

And no, there is no natural light in this room except for in the bathroom???? Go figure??? Hubs, you reading???

**I did purposely take this picture in the worst light and with my Christmas mess scattered about but still it's horrible... don't you think?

Twin Stripes

So, I have been thinking about doing this to little R's room for quite some time. I love the green but I am thinking navy since his room has the white/ navy/ orange thing going on. What do you think? Good idea or not?

can't remember where I got this picture-any ideas???

Sea Life Nursery

Remember a few days ago when I posted about my most recent "sea life" paintings going to a friend in Florida? Well, here they are in her unbelievably chic nursery!!! I love it and hope she loves her paintings! So fun seeing the end result...

Whoo Hoo Giveaway!!!!!

I am so lucky!!! I was recently contacted by my friend, Travis Dew, who said she wanted to do a Whoo Hoo giveaway on her blog of blue chickadee!!! How awesome is that! Travis is a super talented photographer who will shoot weddings, family pics, artwork, you name it! I first got to know her years back when I was teaching her little ones when they were 2 year old preschoolers!!!! That was about 8 years ago which is so hard to believe! I stopped teaching when I had little R, but I have loved crossing paths with the families from that wonderful time in my life. If you are anything like me, and totally get sucked into other people's blogs-blog stalker-you will love travis' blog. She's got it. The knack, that is. One snap tells a story....So thank you, thank you Travis for being so kind to photograph my artwork and my family!

Check out her blog and enter by making a comment below the blue chickadee post and WIN a $50 gift certificate towards any blue chickadee item(s)!!!! The drawing will end Sunday, December 19, so hurry and post a comment!!!!
