Bed End

Always a good detail in a bedroom is something interesting at the end of the bed.

Some inspirational options area:
a  bench...

ottomans...

stools or cubes...

a chaise or settee...

chairs or seating area (for those of you with megaspace)...

and if you want to go a little more out of the box,

 try a desk, or how about this cute cot...

here is Mac who loves to be at the end of Kris's bed...

put something fun at the end of your bed and

in your back pocket...

Just a little inspiration for a happy weekend....

A New Favorite Shape: Quatrefoil

We are really liking this shape...it's called a quatrefoil (fancy, right?) which means "four leaves"... we think it has a modern feel but still has the softness of the curved lines and can translate to many design styles...

this Suzanne Kasler chair is an instant classic,

and I am going to get these pillows from

Willa Skye Home on etsy...

and I was at HomeGoods last week stumbled across this duvet that made it's way in my cart...

for $39.99 I am holding on to this for a fall bedding swap out...

I.O.E (Innovative Outdoor Entertaining)

We love the look of a little something unexpected for outside entertaining...something not so matchy-matchy, something innovative and rustic that can be made using "found" objects.Here are a few inspirations for fun, "makeshift" outdoor furniture...

hay bale seating...

this is a cable spool with a slipcover...

wine barrels are perfect for tables...

A Little Summer Craftiness

We've received a few emails about the bunting/pennant flags from the last post and they are from love,september on Etsy. 

Here is some bunting/pennant inspiration...

Well it is 107 in Phoenix and my kids are driving me a little crazy...which means I need to entertain myself and keep my sanity inside the air conditioned house... so I made a bunting of my own that is in the kids playroom. I found this great tutorial from here complete with tracers. A rotary cutter and sewing some straight lines (the only kind I can do:) and viola!

Born on the 4th of July

My baby boy is turning two on Sunday and I love his birthdate because it is so easy to decorate for and when he is old enough to stay awake for the fireworks we'll tell him they are just for him:)

His shirt has a 2 on it and he LOVES trains

so it is perfect, it is from Planet Pudge on Etsy

I would love to have a big party for him like this...

but everyone leaves the hottest place on earth 

for the fourth, so instead we are celebrating inside like this...

and his aunt Kris is wearing this to his party...

(not really, she is thousands of miles away but we can dream right?)

Happy 4th of July!

Put a little red, white and blue celebration in your back pocket...
