Etsy Spotlight {PaperLine}

As soon as I found Jaime’s shop PaperLine, I knew I found something very special.  Her work with paper is unreal! I think it is all too sweet for words and I cannot take my eyes off of them {especially the dress or shirt & tie ones}  Even if you don’t have kids, you know someone that does.  PLEASE pop on over, show her some love, and spread the word.  If you mention you heard about her from Things I Fancy you get 10% off!!!!

Feast your eyes on these…

Am I right???  I want the dress one in my room :)  There are so many other options, so please go on over.  Add her shop to your favorites because one day you will be trying to think of the perfect baby shower or birthday gift…and there it is! Also,  each piece can be customized to your color and theme needed {how fab is that}.  When {not if} you decide to place an order, send her a message about getting the 10% off from Things I Fancy and she will get you what you need at the discounted price!

Happy March

I know, I know…I have been seriously slacking on this blog.  I need a few more hours in the day!  What have I been up to?? Well, changing decor in a room, of course!  We have a breezeway that needed some love.  The walls used to be a warm, milk chocolate color.  Now they are a bright, crisp white.  My color palette has changed a few times, but I ended up with linen & indigo with silver and gold accents!  Here is my original Olioboard.  I put some of the pieces of the puzzle together first to make sure I was heading in the right direction.

The room is about 1/2 done, but so far I am loving my purchases.  Everything I bought was on sale, with the exception of a couple of things on Etsy.  I spray painted some ledges and picture frames that I already had, and now we have to decide if we are going to do the floors over.  I love the idea of ledges because you can change out accents and pictures easily, so we ran out to Ikea and bought 2 long white ones.  {45 1/4 inch for $14.99 – click pic to learn more}

I think I might need an Etsy intervention.  I have spent hours each night looking at such creativity.  When some of my wall art arrives, I will post links to the shops.  In the meantime, stay tuned for the CUTEST Etsy shop!!!!!!!  I will post what I found later today or tomorrow!

 

Neck Love

I’ve seen some Peter Pan collar necklaces floating around online, but never found myself too interested until I found one in TJ Maxx to wear for Christmas that I just love!  It is gunmetal, beaded, with a black satin bow closure…perfect!  I poked around on Etsy for some other pretty ones.  It is a nice accessory to bring a plain crewneck sweater to the next level.  Do you like?

Snippets of the redo

  

We are about 70% done with the bedroom redo.  The 1st pic is a close up of the ledge I mentioned previously. The 2nd pic is of 2 beaded sconces I found at Marshalls.  You can stick a votive in the back for a glow, but who the hell wants to dig behind there with fire each time they want some ambiance? I will probably leave as is, or buy a couple of those battery operated candles.  I thought they were pretty and different. Still working on the whole bedding/curtain stuff.  The 3rd pic is a print I found on Etsy.  I saw it in gray and yellow, but asked her to change it up a bit to match my new lamp.  She whipped it up with my color choices in no time.  Her name is Rachel, and she was a doll to work with.  Her site is Apple Blossom Print  & you can shop HERE .   Check out ALL of her stuff!  Then there is the new lamp I pounced on at HomeGoods, and a close up of the sconce.
