Hello, hope everyone has had a wonderful week and is ready for an even better weekend. This week my fabulous find was at World Market, one of my favorites. Give your bathroom a complete makeover for less than $150. The accessories are a clean crisp white and spice it up with this lovely shower curtain for some color.
What better way to document your many homes throughout the years than with a beautiful piece of art. If you are military like us, we’re about to move for the tenth time in our eleven year marriage, enough for a gallery. This would also make a great anniversary gift for parents or grown children. Possibly the birth place of grandparents that have passed. Newlyweds would adore a sketch of their first home as a couple or even a picture of their wedding venue, the options are endless.
Originally, I saw a watercolor painting on Pinterest and decided to check out a few more on Etsy and was surprised at how affordable they are. Depending on how intricate, the prices started around forty dollars. Now is a great time to think about getting some Christmas shopping done. Check out a few of my favorite, all with clickable links.

Now that summer has arrived, we have to find activities to keep the kiddos happy and off the computers. Here are a few cute activities I have found that are fun and budget friendly. The pictures below have clickable links for more how to details about each project.
via childrenandstories.com Now that your seeds have sprouted here are few planter options that are great for kids and will only take a small amount of space.
via www.apartmenttherapy.com, This is a cute option for a herb garden, mix in a few f lowers to add some color.
via www.curiositiesbydickens.com This one is great for flowers or herbs on a patio, porch, or any small outdoor space.
via www.flickr.com This would make an amazing play area for the kiddos or a nice hiding spot for mom. If you don’t have enough space for a circle you could always place it in the corner of your yard or fence. The shapes and design options are endless.
via www.beafunmum.com, My little princess would love a garden with her very own flowers. Let them decorate and arrange the garden to their taste.
via www.pinterset.com, This idea is great for the young and old, a chess board would also be cute. Let the kiddos decorate the stones. These games could bring years of entertainment.
I found these cute little bird feeders on www.alphamom.com, an easy craft and fun for the kiddos. Hang these outside the kid’s bedroom windows for them to enjoy.
via www.weheartit.com, These lanterns are an easy project for the kiddos if you plan on having an evening party. They would look great around a pool, lining a sidewalk, or simply sitting on the table. It would give the kids great pride knowing they created this lovely masterpiece.
Hope this has given you a few ideas to get the kiddos outside this summer. Thank-you for reading my post. Have a wonderful day!

If you are like me, I’ve never really thought of Urban Outfitters as a source for home decor, but check out these unique, affordable pieces. Most of the items are under fifty dollars, except the accent chair. The wall tapestry comes in multiple colors and could be the focal point of any teens bedroom when placed behind a headboard. Their shower curtains are definitely on my want list. These are just a few of their cool items, check out their site.
Today, lets check out a few traditional, very timeless bedrooms for the special boys in our lives. For many of us that are military, we move every few years and need something that is neutral that will stand the test of time and look great. The inspiration rooms I have chosen below all have neutral bedding and traditional bed frame that most of us already own. These rooms also have neutral walls that we all know too well, but you don’t notice the wall color with these beautiful designs.
via Shaun Jackson Design. With this lovely room the key pieces are the floor covering and window treatments. The white bedding with decorative pillow shams and blanket, all easy to find and affordable.
via Remodelista.com. This bold green stripe makes a huge statement for the price of a small can of paint. Many of us frequent movers are tired of painting and then repainting , but this is a great alternative. This stripe would look great painted a nice deep red or blue. The light denim or chambray material bedspread looks very fitting in a boys bedroom, don’t you think?
via cococozy.com, designed by Bonsteel and Trout. The Bonsteel and Trout design has an upholstered headboard in a simple design, this is a great option if you are on a budget. With an upholstered headboard you can choose the shape and fabric to personalize your bed. Choose a rug with coordinating fabric for a roman shade to complete the look.
via A Well Dressed Home, Designer Emily Hewett. This classic design will stand the test of time, again with neutral walls and bedding. The simple navy curtains and striped roman shade, rug, accent pillows, topped off with this lovely painted piece equals gorgeous.

Love these colors, playing around with ideas for our bedroom when we move in the fall. Many of the pieces are too pricey for my budget but can easily be purchased at more affordable stores. I love the look of an eclectic mix, old and new items, modern and traditional. The red rug makes the room cozy and really adds a twist to the color palate, add a few black accents and the room is complete.
If blue is not what you are looking for to liven up your outdoor space, how about RED? Mix the red with gray and black to add a little contrast. These pieces mixed with your existing patio/porch furniture will liven up any summer party.
Thank you for reading my blog, subscribe for updates. Have a great day!
Colorful options to liven up your patio or porch. The items are less than $125. Along the right is affordable rug options.
