Etsy Favorites: Lola Donoghue

Etsy has some really gorgeous and phenomenal pieces, but it can be very overwhelming to search through so when I come across great vendors, I thought I would start sharing them with you. Last weekend I spent several hours on Etsy hunting for art pieces for several spaces in our house, and when I came across Lola Donoghue's Etsy store I fell in love with some of her pieces as well as her prices. Finding  beautiful, affordable artwork, especially large scale ones, can be really hard on Etsy, but this Irish artist sells prints and some originals at  very reasonable prices. I love the colors and feel of her works, especially this first one I'm showing. I'm thinking it maybe the one I get for our kitchen re-design. Here is a selection of some of her work, go check her out!

Thursday's Tips & Tricks: How to Hang Curtains

Before we bought our first house a year and a half ago, I knew very little about design guidelines mostly because I just wasn't very interested in it.  After we moved into our house, though, my passion for design developed overnight and since then, as evident from my blog, I have been using my passion to change our house into a home.  I have given design tips in the past on some blog posts, but I wanted to start sharing these design tips more regularly, so today I'm starting a new series called Thursday's Tips and Tricks where I will be sharing design tips that I have learned in order to help and inspire some of you with your own home designs. 

For this first week of the series I'm focusing on tips on how to hang curtains. Hanging curtains was one of the first tasks we did when moving into our house and was one of the easiest ways to transform a space!

Fixer Upper Furniture Season 3

It's Tuesday, which means a new episode of Fixer Upper is on tonight!  Last year I wrote a blog post where I rounded up some furniture pieces from the show, and in celebration of it being one of my favorite days during the week I thought I would round up furniture pieces from the current season!! Every piece might not be 100% exact, but I feel like if they aren't exact they are extremely close. To shop the items, just click on the images or link below the pictures. Enjoy!!
