It’s hard to believe that today my favorite little man is 4 months old. My how time flies and my heart grows. Every day I fall deeper in love…

Gallery Walls
I’m a sucker for a good gallery wall. I was doing some clean up in my inspiration files and kept coming across pictures of them.

**If any of you know where the [unknown] images are from please comment so that I can give credit. I didn’t do a great job of saving the source on these images.
Some people are intimidated by a gallery wall because of the loose form. While I was doing a quick search on Pinterest, I found this hanging guide. It gives some examples for creating a gallery wall of your own. This is such a great starting point for creating your own gallery wall if you aren’t quite sure how.

The Perfect Settee
I’ve been thinking about getting a settee for my family room. I have a spot that needs some kind of seating and I think a settee will be perfect. Here are the ones I’ve come across in my search…I’m still on the lookout for that perfect one.
[No. 4 is probably my fave at the moment]

Fave New Product
I have a new favorite product. I just saw it over at Lindsey’s blog. She just bought a few and is in the process of spray painting them. What is it you ask? It’s graphic overlays that you can use on just about anything…walls, furniture, you name it. The company is very simply called O’verlays.
Their overlays come in a variety of sizes as well as custom sizes. Here are some examples of what customers have done with them.
Ikea furniture and Overlays make the perfect pairing because neither costs very much but together they look like a million bucks.
Just imagine how chic the Rast chest of drawers could look…
I’m thinking of doing that combo myself. I need another piece of furniture in my family room and that would be the perfect piece. Not to mention it would give me some much-needed storage.
What DIY project would you create with your favorite O’verlay?

Touch of Charm–home Office
With this pillow as inspiration…
I created this design for my latest Touch of Charm client.
My client wanted a warm, cozy and fun design for her office. She sent me the bright Trina Turk pillow along with some others as her inspiration. I was really drawn to the whimsical design and fun colors in the pillow, so I based my design for the office off of it.
I enjoy doing these virtual designs for clients so much. The only downfall is that I don’t get to see the finished project soon enough. Can’t wait for this one to be completed!

Pretty Pinterest
I know I’m a little behind the times, but I have just now gotten in to Pinterest. I created an account a few months ago but have finally started looking through the millions of pictures. There is so much inspiration there. For some reason this morning this image caught my eye. I think I would be completely content in this library. While the colors are bright it’s still very calming because of the blues.
Chase and I are starting the weekend early and heading to visit my mom in Alabama. It’s our first long roadtrip so hopefully it goes well.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
