Thank you!

I just really wanted to thank everyone for all their kind words of excitement and support! I am so grateful to everyone. Knowing you are all behind me routing me on will make this so much more exciting! I am getting very nervous as the time to go back to school draws closer. One month from today is my big day! It has been a long time, but I think going for something I love and enjoy will be amazing! Thanks again!

Outdoor for summer or Fall....

So it would seem, that I introduce you to my blog and then I abandon it for several weeks. Sorry!
Here is a fabulous backyard that I think would be perfect in the summer or a Texas fall. I can picture having book club next to the fire with a cup of hot cocoa. Care to join me?

Its official....I am going back to school. I have decided to make my dream become a reality! I have found a local college where I can go and get my design certificate. I start school September 18. It is so exciting! I can't express how thrilled I am to start this new adventure. I have always wanted to be an interior designer. I love to help others make their homes or work places beautiful. With this I will be starting my own business. I know that it will take a lot of time and hard work to really get this to take off, but I feel like it is what I am suppose to be doing right now. My kids are starting to enter new phases in their lives. Jordan and Elena will both be in school full time now and Zach only has one more year before he will be in preschool. Before I know it they will all be off and I want to have something that I can call my own. Jeff has been beyond supportive of all of this and for that I am so very grateful. He has shown so much faith in me and my design ability, more than I have ever had in myself. I love him for that.
I started this blog back in June without letting anyone know that I had started it. It was just an idea that I had to have a place to show design ideas from myself and others that I find. But in this short 2 months everything has changed and I have found the courage to go for my dream. So now I am opening this up to all of you. I hope you will enjoy it and that it will help motivate you to make your own space beautiful ,hopefully with help from me :). And to follow your dreams.
Here is to a new and exciting adventure!

A new clock made a big difference.

I got this new clock for this space and what a difference it makes. I am in love with it! It gave the space the big splash of color I needed and was a lot better suited for the size of this wall. See my post below to see what it looked like before I got this great clock.

Love round tables

I dont have a round table but I love them, I think they are a perfect table for entertaining or just having a dinner at home with the kids. If you have the right space for one it is a great piece.

Everyone needs a spot to sit and ponder....

With this courtyard I could picture myself having a party or just a quiet dinner for two. I love the brick patio and the white pillars and simple yet beautiful landscape. It is also a great spot to read a book or just to sit and relax.

I also love this desk area it would be a beautiful place to do some work.

Serene

I love this bedroom, it is simple yet elegant. It looks so serene and peaceful. I just love this design abeachcottage via sweetie pie
