Happy Weekend

The snow has cancelled our run this morning for the 10K training team, and I must say that I am not upset. I think I'll fix myself a large cup of hot chocolate and cozy up to a fire!
Have a bright, bold, and beautiful weekend!

Got Lime?

How about a splash of lime?

Beautiful Bathrooms

It's time to start thinking about colors for the upstairs bathroom. Here are some lovely photos that give me inspiration to create a beautiful space. The green wall color and matching towels are soothing and peaceful in this room, especially with the natural light pouring in.
The neutral tones and simple symmetry work beautifully here.
I love the buttercream color in this room. Very inviting and cheerful!

Look at the gorgeous textured walls in this room and
I am in love with this glass bowl sink.

Home Renovation: Using Pegboards

Pegboards are the ultimate organizer!
I want a large pegboard in my art studio (still in the works!!)
** Update ~ check out my 8' by 5' foot pegboard**
A white frame around your pegboard gives it a
finished and decorated look.
With this in mind, I asked Mike, of Laroche Construction Services llc {mentioned previously in this post}, to save the trim from the closet they were knocking out yesterday. The closet was removed to add more space to the room. I will use this trim to frame a large pegboard on the adjacent wall. Tip: Before throwing scraps away, think if they can be re-used for something else!

Stay tuned for the finished project!

Ski vs Beach

When planning your winter vacation, do you think beach or ski? Which do you prefer? I myself am a "beach" kind of girl! I love the crystal clear turquoise waters and hot sand in between my toes.
