All these rooms are simply gorgeous. Sweet. Soft, classy and very expensive. I know many whom read this or come across the images think "who can afford that!" Well some can and some can't and some wouldn't spend the money on decorating even if they did. However.. I find inspiration in these photo's and I'm hoping you will too. You can very easily get these looks for so much less if you take the time to shop. It doesn't have to be exact but the concept is there. The colors, classic, not TOO much, no THEME just pretty things. Pieces from all over.The painted pieces from things around your home or junk stores etc... Having a monotone color scheme and simple touches of elegance can make all the difference. Can't afford window treatments.... get fabric from local stores, even Joanne fabrics, wall mrt type IF you can not afford it. Just getting enough length and ironing with fabric glue adhesive stuff... YOU can make your own. So you cut holes anyway you can. Using Hot glue,fabric paint, ribbons and whatever else trims... YOU can make a Magical retreat for you or your little ones. Hide your mistakes with sweet ribbons and pearls and yummy details you can find everywhere. ~ even your old ear rings that are missing the match. Get creative how you hang them. Use coffee hooks in ceiling. 2 on each side of a window to hang down from ribbons and look Fantastic. Get White denim/canvas wash it first, paint Pink dots all over & use Pink french ribbon. Not expensive but sure super pretty. Tar get & Martha have very inexpensive sheets, Buy everything in white! Great to keep clean & Bleach away! then add sweetness to it all with your favorite trims: ric rac, buttons, ribbons, scalloped trim, eyelet,gingham etc... Or dip die in very pale Pink YOU created & get sweetly creative! & buy tons of ribbon, roses/flowers in that color. Your color! Get extra fabric in coordinating color & if YOU do not sew, get someone or get out that Hot glue gun, iron on adhesive & play around. HIDE boo boo's with yummy details.recover lampshades with your creative ideas & favorite trims.
Well girlie's... I'm off to paint a few goodies for Lollishops and I am using these Photos for inspiration! And what may that be..... Well, I have heard some say, ohhh those rooms are too perfect or not enough child friendly & fun for little ones... well that's when you get some fun artwork from ME! : ) Take bits & pieces of elements YOU like for your children and have the BEST of both worlds. Your children learn to appreciate the good things in life by learning from you at an early age. Stylish things do not mean they have to be TOO stuffy, TOO elegant or not fun for little ones... they can be, just find wonderful fun Magical artwork & unique decor pieces that NO ONE else has. Need help ask me. Have a sugar plum Vision but do not know where to start. I'm right here. Dream some incredible yummy ideas and let me know what your thinking and I would LOVE to create a magical piece for you & your loved ones. Dream away ~
I'm off to get creative. Maybe a Magical sweet picture frame with sprinkles of glass glitter & French Gilded leaves with Sugar plum berries touched with magic? Its Happy Holiday Times & we all need some Sparkly things surrounding us, right?

I Love him mom. But I hate that he might creep you out. Ohhh and out of all the pretty pink things I do, I never got much praise about anything I have done until I did this piece. My grandfather thought it was an antique that I got. He LOVED it. ohh he went on about it and let me tell you... It ment the world to me. My grandparents have class & style and are total shoppers from all over. He made my day.! Big Time!
