Board No. 83: The Most Delicate of Delicates

17 January 2011


(Click to enlarge!)

I know we’re not quite into spring yet, but I couldn’t resist putting together this soft pink and green board to drive back the winter doldrums. This wedding would be all about tiny, delicate touches — sweet poppers at each place setting, a softly shaded bouquet, a wreath of the most fragile spring blooms. And, of course, a cluster of AMAZING, oversize crepe paper flowers. Check out the DIY here!

Colorful dresses

14 January 2011

Who’s ready for some warm-weather color? Me! Both of these bright beauties are from Victoria’s Secret.

The best part is that you could pair a cardigan and a pair of black leggings or tights with either of these and have a great transitional outfit until the weather catches up!

Robert Allen Khandar fabric for sale!

13 January 2011

Speaking of curtains, remember that fabric I was debating a few months ago? Well, I bought it, but it turns out it’s not quite right for my space. The blue leans a bit too slate for what I was picturing. However, it’s beautiful, and could be just right for one of you!

The details: It’s the Khandar pattern in indigo by Robert Allen. It retails for $34.99 a yard, but I’m offering it for $17 (50% off!). Shipping would be about $11, and payment would be set up through PayPal. I have two 3-yard lengths, each a little over 54 inches wide. I would like to sell it all together, but would consider selling a smaller section depending on the response.

Better Homes and Gardens January issue

12 January 2011

Any other Better Homes & Gardens subscribers out there? I’m one — embarrassingly (and truthfully), have been since the seventh grade. I like to think I’ve seen them through the good and the bad, and right now they’re having a very good streak. The January cover? Perfection.

I also loved the peak at Amy Meier’s home, and fell in love with her curtains, rug, and couch. The styling is right on in her entryway, too.
