SALE and Marbled Framed Prints

There is no doubt I have an obsession with Marbled Framed Prints.


I have a large pair framed and hanging in my bedroom.

I chose the black, gold, gray and white colorway.

They make me swoon every time I see them. The movement is just so hypnotic.


I have a space located inside Lost...antiques in the Dallas Design District and this weekend {well, starting today Friday (6/28) through Sunday (6/30)} they are having a MAJOR SALE!

I will also be having a SALE in my space --- 20% off everything over $100!

That's right! 
And..... wait for it.... I have a pair of framed marbled prints available!


This photo above is from another set I recently sold, but the ones available have the gray, pink, gold, and white colorway.

So, I know where I am going to stop this morning while kiddo is in art camp!
There are some other vendors and spaces with sales and inventory that I want to check out... Like The Pink Pagoda {I'm sure you have heard of her}... she has a space there with some items for sale. Check out her post


Have a FANTASTIC weekend, friends!

Art from the Heart

I wanted to share this piece of art my kiddo painted for me this weekend.


Because.... I feel an extra special measure of gratefulness today.

I had a GLORIOUS weekend with my family.
I had a LOVELY weekend with friends.

Kiddo painted this piece because he loves me.
I love that piece of art.... because it is beautiful.
Because I love my kiddo.

He is a blessing I never could have dreamed up on my own.

I love being a mom to my kiddo.

I love being a friend to my dear sweet friends.

Have a wonderful week.... 
ENJOY your blessings!

THE REVEAL: Kiddo's Room {Re}Design

Here it is!

My kiddo's Room {Re}Design Reveal!

**** ALL NEW **** 
We changed it completely! 
See the changes in THIS POST.
Here is a sneak peak of the redo:


and now.... continue...

In all it's AWESOME GLORY....


Since we moved into our Double-Wide in the Sky {what we loving refer to our home} almost 2 years ago, kiddo has called his room "The Awesome Space".


Which surprised me at first because in our previous 3000+ sqft suburban home, he had a bedroom, homeschool room, bathroom and a play area/living room all to HIMSELF.

But, now in our 2 bedroom condo unit, he just has his bedroom and bathroom.
His bedroom now serves as his homeschool and play area.


At least when we initially designed his room we considered all these activities.
And with the redesign, we just optimized... optimized... optimized!


The key added components were these red high gloss bookcases flanking his bed.
They serve as bookcases, storage and nightstands.

Very convenient --- and very much a punch of color and brightness that we needed!


They truly create the focal point of the room. This wall of wonderfulness!

They add balance to a space that commands so much activity and purpose.


When we discussed "changing up" his room, the initial conversations were quite emotional.
Kiddo DID NOT want to change anything about his room!
He DOES NOT like change!
NO!

Seeing how I did not want him to change over to the "Dark Side".... I made sure he had a HUGE say on anything we decided to incorporate and/or do.
He researched with me.
He shopped on-line with me.
He shopped in stores with me.

He was a JEDI.

And he DID NOT join the "Dark Side".


Of course, his main loves and memorabilia had to remain and be on prominent display.
He LOVES looking at things that make him happy.

It helps his creative side... it helps his emotional side....

He gets that from me {wink wink - check out the rest of our Double-Wide in the Sky}.


So, I decided to use the awesome red bookcases flanking his bed as an opportunity to expand the focus to some things that he LOVES.

He sincerely, LOVES.... Elton Brand.

His Brand Jersey was signed for him on his 8th Birthday. 
It has soooooo many reasons to be special to him. 
He loves it with all his heart. 
Truly, one of his most prized possessions. 
We are praying he gets resigned by the Dallas Mavericks. Go MAVS!


Then on the other side, we have his Lamar Odom jersey on display.
Another special memory.
But, he moved on.
We don't need him to come back to the Mavs. But, he holds a special place in kiddo's heart.


Then we have the almost endless supply of Lego Star Wars sets on display.


Some items have traveled with us to our new city dwelling...

These cubed leather ottomans were utilized from our previous home. They are awesome!

We are able to house so many of his toys inside. So, they really add to his storage room.
Plus, the top can be flipped over and it turns into an eating tray for him on those special occasions where he can watch a movie and eat in his room!


So, this is how we pulled everything together.

We added a new color to the mix. ---> RED
We kept an old accent color. ---> GREEN
We kept the original room color. ---> BLUE

We also included more patterns and fabrics to his bed to create a more cozy feel.
And by adding the lighting to his wall, it was a functional way to give him more light with a stylish outcome. Win --- Win!


Now we move over to his work and entertainment area.

This we changed up a little in functionality, as well as, design.

Just a little...


We added this FABULOUS Tulip Base chair with a red cushion.
It swivels!
It's white, bright, sturdy and AMAZING!

We found a Tulip Base lamp to add to the mix and a red clock to balance the red cushion.

We also added one of the filing cabinet pieces that had previously served as a nightstand to his desk area. It gives him more work area. It's just perfect!


He LOVES this space!


Kiddo wants to be a Film Director / Actor / Scientist when he grows up.

Hence all the movie posters. Some are authentic vintage pieces {Like the New York Subway Poster above his bed and the Star Wars Poster above his desk} but, others are replicas of his favorite movies and by some of his favorite directors.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle was a new addition. And can I say.... the color combination works FABULOUSLY with the room?!  S-C-O-R-E! 

We also took the film reels we had found at flea markets and spray painted them a high gloss red.
PERFECT! 



Kiddo is an avid reader and one of his favorite series to read during his summer break are The Hardy Boys. He also loves the hunt of finding new books to add to his collection at flea markets, antique stores, or thrift stores. It gives him something to look forward to when I drag him shopping.



So, this is my Kiddo's Room {Re}Design...


In all it's AWESOME GLORY....

Since we moved into our Double-Wide in the Sky almost 2 years ago, kiddo has called his room "The Awesome Space". I hope he continues to call it that for many many more years to come!

In a Galaxy

Far far away...

Here is a little sneak peak at my kiddo's room {re}design.


He doesn't really like Star Wars.


He doesn't really like Legos, either.

Perhaps.... I just lied to y'all.

Perhaps.

I'll provide another sneak peak on Wednesday and the GRAND REVEAL will be Friday.

Have a great week!

CELEBRATE: National Donut Day

It's FRIDAY!

And, it's National Donut Day!

Source
What are you going to do to celebrate?

I might.... just might.... have to sneak in a bite or two of a scrumptious yummy pink icing and colorful sprinkles on top donut.

How about you? What is your favorite donut treat?

Pinterest
Wouldn't it be sweet {hah --- pun intented!} to have a "Donut Queen" gig?

In a bathing suit no-less.

Now, that would be motivation to NOT eat a donut.
A snuggie would be more appropriate for this gig --- don't you think?

Have a FABULOUS weekend!

I'll be back next week with pics and the final reveal of my kiddo's {re}designed room!
