I love the pops of color in these rooms, especially the purple.
Here our some items I have my eye on for our space:
And maybe I can convince my husband to go with some pops of pink...

Some More Drop-cloth Drapes
I finally decided to take the easy way out and bit the bullet on some $9.97 drop-cloths at Home Depot. And here they are in all their glory...
(no iron was used, obviously!)
You might also notice the "new" cowhide rug under the coffee table. We went for something a little more cozy in the basement and brought the cowhide upstairs.
We already had the curtain rod and ring clips hung so all I did was take the drop-cloths out of the bag and clip them up. I will eventually iron them and maybe add some trim detail, but for now I think they are doing a great job softening the space. I am still considering painting the small table between the sitting chairs white. I still feel the room is looking dark.
I also rearranged our artwork...
(and realize the pillow situation needs some work)
and have new plans for above the sofa! Perhaps a DIY version of these lovely ladies...
The geese flew over to the TV wall (I know the picture frame looks a little tacky, it's not my favorite but I haven't found a place to move it to yet).

Spring Is Coming!
The forecast is looking great for the week. High of 73 on Thursday and the sunshine is making me think that spring really is on its way!
Here are some of my favorite inspiration photos that make me think of Spring:

Grammy Faves
The hubby and I watched the Grammy's last night and I thought I would post some pics of my favorites from the night.
It was simple and fun, but my favorite performance was Cee-Lo Green and Gwyneth Paltrow.
I am a new found fan of Bruno Mars, loved the performance.
And I was loving the GOLD!

Master Bedroom Inspiration
I have recently started to dream up a new master bedroom space. The jumping off point is this beautiful Barbara Barry bedding (which is now available at bed bath and beyond).
I love this side table from Z Gallerie.
I think some silk drapes would really finish off the space.

Dressing the Office
The office now has a trellis pattern painted on one wall and I need to finish putting the space together.
It will also house my "new" console table which I am going to skirt with fabric to hide our desktop computer and printer underneath.
I am using a white dining table as my workspace, which will be placed in the center of the room (you can barely see it under all the clutter in this picture, but it has since been cleared off).
Here are some of my ideas for fabric and light fixtures.
