Media Room Ideas
From the beginnings of our home design experience, I have had a dream about the main great room wall and what I would love to design it. And then I go back and forth thinking maybe I'll just incorporate all my ideas in what we do upstairs in the bonus room/media room "some day". I've explained "stone wall" of some sort, linear gas fireplace, flush large TV screen......and when I saw this tonight, I HAD to embed it on the blog, so I can find it anytime I want AND can make this come true!
Here is a similar design with a stone wall, minus the fireplace:
What do you love in home theaters or media walls for your home?

Inspirational Words
Hi to all..it's been a while. Lots going on......and I've been meaning to "get back at it"...so much to share in all areas...but for now, I saw this quote and loved it:
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
Is this true for you or someone you know?

Flooring Inspiration - New Rugs
New rugs at our house.....when I decided to put all that hand-scraped hardwood, I didn't realize it would take me 8 months to find the rugs I liked....
But we are really happy with these and the blue undertone gray rugs go perfectly with the rug we bought for the great room.
Got these at RugsUSA for an incredible price and 50% off...yay!!

Integrity
Wow, really love the latest blog post at
DanielleLaPorte.com......subject is Integrity.
And I LOVE this phrase:
The power of your word is in direct proportion to your self awareness.
I strongly believe that the ONLY thing we have that someone cannot take away, cannot effect...is our WORD. If our word isn't "gold"...then what DO we have?
This is powerful.....
How do you feel about integrity... your "word"?

New Decor
I've done some redecorating since removing Christmas decor...and wanted to share some photos:
I think I may order one more set of these hydrangea vases when they come back up on .........can you guess????? Joss & Main!!
Have you joined Joss and Main yet? Really?? Let me share with you all my finds......and the money I have saved is staggering....
Foyer photo:
Green Hydrangea Vase to the left
Green balls in the center
2 green wreaths hanging on outside of front doors
Great Room photo:
107" long Hooker mirrored cabinet (saved over $1000)
Green boxwood trees
6 hydrangea vases
Formal Dining room:
White floral on table
Joss and Main is a FREE online boutique....once you sign up ...you get an email every morning at 10am.....if you see sales that interest you, great...check them out. If not, delete. Each sale typically lasts 3 days. I seriously cannot tell you what a great resource this is so I encourage you to even sign up for a trial basis..you can always cancel. Remember, it is FREE. And if you plan to buy nothing, it is a GREAT resource to get decorating ideas....
Other items were most likely purchased at TJ Maxx, Marshalls or Home Goods. This gal is on a budget! No full price shopping at my home! Did you know those stores get at least 3 trucks a week, so it is bet to run through frequently and "know" the merchandise so you can quickly grab what is new.....and as always, keep the tags on until you decide if it will work. But if you wait to purchase...it won't be there when you go back. Learned that hard lesson!
And, just in case you have not heard of
or just have been slow to check it out, let me know if you would like an invite......you must have an invite to join (which put me off at first, I will admit)...but if you want an amazing resource for ideas on EVERYTHING....then you just have to check out Pinterest. Honestly.....just check it out.
When you join, you can simply look at photos and follow other people.....you can make your own "boards"...and "pin" photos to those boards...if you click this link ...you will see my boards......"Decorating with Grey", "Makeup Artistry", "Foods to Try" and much much more.
Enjoy!
