Color my world…

The other day I was dropping something off at my friend Melanie's house and was instantly inspired when I looked in and saw her brightly colored, green pillows sitting on her white sofa. I instantly felt refreshed in contrast to the almost constant rainy and overcast days we've had the last few days.  I loved it!   I have been working on our front room for a while now and it has been lacking something and that was it...bright green pillows!  (I hope she doesn't mind that I copied her great idea :) but I guess that is all design really is...)  So with the kids in toe we went to World Market and bought a couple pillows; and I even got the fun patterned pillow on clearance and it matched my room and style perfectly. I am loving the room already. It is amazing how it has changed the look of our space and how refreshing it feels now. Whenever I walk in I feel like kicking back and saying "ahhhhh…"  Here are a few photos of the kids..well I guess there are more of Brooklyn because she will let me, but the boys did have fun taking an upside down picture.

Below is a picture of the curtains I put up in our room.  When I get the front room done I will post more pictures.  Here are just a few hints of the colors.  I am starting to really like it more and more.  It is fast becoming one of my favorite rooms of the house.  It has incredible light in the morning and I just love it.  Now if I could only find the perfect side tables.  Hmmmm…

So I decided one day I would try and make some bows for Brooklyn. Here are my first attempts. After these I actually made a pretty cute blue and white bow.



Last week Briggs was doing the letter W for school. So I suggested that he and Ethan go out and look for worms. Here are the boys doing that. Ethan actually found a pretty good sized one. They loved it!
