Coloring Book Wallpaper by Jon Burgerman

Isn't this great for a kids room? How could you step foot in a room like this and not want to color? Coloring is very meditative,mesmorizing.... and such a great escape from the stressors of everyday life.... This wallpaper was designed by Jon Burgerman, a UK based artist famous for his doodling, drawing and illustrations....

I Just Discovered the Best Blog!!!

As an etsy shop owner and a blogger, I always read "The   Storque," etsy's own blog and in the get the look section there was an article about "going coastal." She featured the home of Michelle Edwards who is a visual merchandiser by day and has an etsy shop owner(called Sweet Something Design) by night. She is an artist, photographer and excellent blogger....She has an amazing eye for design and I love the look of her home and all of the great DIY projects that she shows on her blog, taking dated forgetable objects and transforming them into beautiful pieces of art for her home.

 She really has a talent for mixing patterns and textures to create an elegant yet casual atmosphere with a beachy vibe. I absolutely love her blog also titled Sweet Something Design. It is definately one I will be following! Check it out... Here is a picture of  her beautiful livingroom in her coastal home. See her blog and the etsy article for more photos....

Have a wonderful day! XO Jill

Very Vintage Looking Vases....

Happy Spring...

I love flowers and anything vintage and even though these vases are just tin cans from an average grocery store....using them for vases gives it a very retro vintage look. You can collect cans that you like or even shop for really great no name brands at the dollar store. They always have food there in packaging that I have never heard of and would be skeptical to try....but for a dollar a can, you've just inherited a masterpiece that you can keep for a lifetime. Paint over the label with hodge pog or white elmers glue and it will preserve the label and protect it from water damage!

So fun for a summer outside dinner party with candles and flowers everywhere!

Enjoy and start planning! I'm getting excited to plan something too, outside at our camp on beautiful Lake George...
