Emily Henderson

I have learned so much about decorating from the amazing Emily Henderson.  I loved her on Design Stars, love her HGTV show "Secrets from a Stylist," and now love her instructional videos.

This one was especially helpful.

At work

Here are some pics from my office which I had a chance to redecorate.  Some of it's my stuff from home, some thrift store finds, and some are my boss' things.

I dedicate this post to all my pregnant friends

I'm going to be an aunt to many little babies in the spring and summer.  More and more of my friends are starting to have kids!  I can't wait until they can all start saying funny things.

One thing I find really cool is the opportunity to decorate nurseries once you start having kids (although I'm pretty sure that by kid #2 you're not as eager to exercise your creativity). 

My friend K who is extremely talented (she creates the best decorations for parties and makes her own cards) painted a mural for her baby boy with some leftover paint she had from another home project.  So creative!

My friend K hand painted the mural.

I also really loved this nursery featured in Covet Garden magazine for a little baby girl.  I fell in love with the ceiling installations!  Hmm, I could have something like that in my house . . .
