Fabulous Finds Friday

I found this article on House Beautiful this week about 12 easy decorating ideas you can do in a day. It was so fun and they got me thinking how easy little changes are but how fresh they make your home feel. Now that the weather is getting warmer it's the perfect time to start those projects you have been putting off all winter. Refreshing your house can even be as simple as moving something from one room to a different room. Change is always a good thing! Here are some of my favorites from the article, you can find it in it's entirety here.Organize with trays- I love trays on coffee tables, I especially love them when they're on an ottoman that's being used as a coffee table. Think of how easy it is to keep your remotes, your favorite magazine or book and some fun flowers in a tray. Then if you need to use your table or ottoman, you just move the tray and it's instantly clear for you to use.Refresh your bathroom- This can be as easy as changing out your shower curtain and getting matching towels. It's amazing the difference a new shower curtain can make in a bathroom. You could also try adding some new fun artwork. Often times bathroom walls get left out, but I think they're one of the best places to try out funky colors or patterns.

Refresh with new sheets- I love the feeling of climbing into bed right after I've changed my sheets. They're so crisp and clean. I love it even more when it's a pair of brand new sheets that I'm using for the first time. Bedding is a very easy way to change up your bedroom. Try a new color or go with all white.

Hope these ideas will spark your creativity!

Fabulous Finds Friday

Hello everyone, it's that time of week again. That's right it's time for another fabulous finds friday! This week I'm really excited because I'm getting a new piece of furniture. :) I'm helping my parents refresh their family room and they're getting rid of a really cute side table. I think it will look absolutely wonderful with a fresh coat of paint sitting next to my couch. So I've been looking around for cute ideas of how I could refinish this table. I haven't decided if I want to do a solid color, or if I should do a neutral or paint it some really fun bright color. I hope you enjoy!

Rug Dilema

Our laundry room is one of two rooms in our house that isn't finished. It still has cement floors and only has sheet rock on half of the walls. Needless to say I try to spend as little time in there as possible. One of the reason is that it's in the basement and we currently only use our basement for storage and another reason is that I don't like standing on the bare cement floor. That has led me to the quest for a cute, inexpensive rug. I looked on pier1.com to see what they had to offer and here are some of the ones I found that I really liked.

Multi Floral Bamboo Rug 6'x4'
$39.95

Blue Diamond Rug 6'x4'
$29.95Medallion Hooked Cotton Rug 3'x5'
$47.96

So many fun choices and that's only one store. I am still looking around and I'll definitely post a picture once we decide. I love rugs, you can get so many different colors and patterns. Where would you put a fun rug in your house?

Fabulous Find Friday...Party Edition

Well everybody, today is my birthday! So for this weeks edition of Fabulous Finds I decided to focus on a piece of decorating that sometimes doesn't get thought of. Party decorations! We all know that the right decorations can make or break a party, so I found some way fun stuff that would look good at any party! My tips for birthday party decorations are to:
1. Make it fun
2. Don't go overboard. A lot of times the simpler something is the better because then you won't be so worried about everything
3.Listen to what the birthday person wants. Even if you don't think it matches if it's what they want they will absolutely love it.
Don't forget to make your party exactly how you want it, that way you'll be sure to enjoy it! 1.2.3.

So I've decided to begin my first themed post on my blog. Every Friday I will do a "Fabulous Finds Friday" post. In this post I will tell you all about something fabulous that I found that week. Whether it's a new blog, a piece of furniture, a great sale, or an awesome new idea. In honor of the very first fabulous finds Friday I thought I would dedicate it to Mother's Day.
