Drey from Bijou Kaleidoscope tagged me, which means I now have to share 7 facts with you about myself. The people who know me and read this blog could probably give you 7 more interesting facts, but that's what the "permanently delete comment" tab is for. :) So, here goes...
1. I have a chronic habit of starting things I never finish.
2. I met my closest friend four years ago over the internet while hunting down a serial killer. (envisioning you all mentally bookmarking me as crazeeeee.) ;)
3. My husband has yet to buy me a single thing I've blogged about....dear. :)
4. I love my children to pieces.

Sit Arounds...
Decorative accessories are a great way to personalize your home decor. I strongly feel each piece should be something you have a great love/attraction for. Speaking of which, I believe we're going to see an upcoming trend in statuary items, particularly horses. One of my favorite statuary items comes from Royal Haeger. I purchase my swordfish about a month ago and it gives me great joy each time I see it. It was exactly what I had been looking for.
Along with your local flea markets, Ebay is a great source for Royal Haeger items. Here are a few of my favorites currently up for auction.
Horse Head starting bid $0.99 with 6 days left

Now that's Kuhl...
Stained glass doors for my contemporary taste. If I ever custom build a home this is exactly the type of front door I would dream about. Out of Michigan and owned by Guido Goldkuhle, alll doors are custom made and can be shipped anywhere in the U.S.A. If you're in the market for a front door that will speak volumes about your style, check out Kuhl Doors. Enjoy!
I'm a big Steve Miller fan...

Self-taught folk artist Mary Carol's original work on Ebay at prices that will make you giggle. I absolutely love it. Enjoy!

My colors of the moment...
I'm really loving this yellow and taupe/gray combination. I'm thinking this Katie Dot Sunflower fabric would make some great accent pillows. $8.75 per yard at Repro Depot. Enjoy!
Wow...
I was browsing Beach Dwelling's site when this creamy Flirt Ruffled Tableware from Potluck Studios caught my eye. I'll be noticing them everywhere now. It's classically gorgeous.
But I fell in love with this styled room photo. I love everything from the mirrored chest to the cowhide rug to the monochromatic color scheme. It just makes you want to say "ahhhhhhhhhhhh". While the pieces shown here are for those on a champagne budget, I can see where one could do a pretty classy cheap imitation of this room. If I had to splurge on any one thing it would probably be the mirrored chest since I feel it is unique, but there are cheaper alternatives. Add a creamy white slip cover and a few throw pillows for your sofa, a cowhide rug off Ebay for $200.00, and a flea market table painted white and you're good to go. Accessorize with white shells, white coral and white star fish, all of which can easily be found at great prices at places like Z Gallerie, etc. Enjoy and be inspired!

A little bit of this and a little bit of that...
Vintage Hand Colored Miniature Fashion Prints from Blue Bell Bazaar for $59.00.
Yellow Spring Flowers Print from lanitaphoto for $20.00.
Birch Bark Silver Ring from esdesigns for $48.00.
Black and White and Blue all over...
No corny joke here. I'm really loving the black, white and blue combos in these photos. A great black and white mantle up against a soft blue wall gives a room punch while still maintaining the serenity of the blue. Images via BHG. Enjoy!
Girlie is Good.
I love this open carved white headboard from Brocade Home. It's just so pretty and feminine and white.
