Allie's Girly Room- Fabric

One of the exciting things about getting a little house for our family is that Allie gets to have a girly room (instead of sharing with Macsen.)  While it was fun to have a challenge to decorate a gender neutral room, I am excited to include Allie in the process of designing her very own big-girl room.

Although, while I have been asking Allie for her opinion on all of the decisions, I just haven't been getting the answers I particularly want.  For example, the only color she wants is PURPLE.  Not my favorite color, but that isn't the problem.  The problem is that there are like 5 patterns of fabric with purple in them in the ENTIRE world (a.k.a. on the internet) that I can tolerate and that Allie actually likes.  Didn't realize that girl has such an opinion; she is definitely her father's daughter.

Anyways, after spending literally HOURS and HOURS looking for purple fabric online, at Home Goods, JoAnne's, and Ross Allie and I finally decided on 2 that we will be using:

Curtains to the ceiling and pillows for bed:

Emma Twill Wisteria

Pillow for bed and window seat:

LuLu Twill Storm

And I now adore Fabric.com!!!

Seriously, learn from my mistake and if there is something particular you want in a fabric don't waste your time- just buy it from Fabric.com.

This isn't a sponsored post, but when I bought my fabric I used a coupon code and saved myself like $15...It's 20% off and free shipping with "sewsorry"

I can't wait to go pick out a pretty grey paint for the walls in her room now!  And, Jamie, plan on painting something really cute for her room during Christmas break, k? :)

It seems that colored wedding shoes are all the rage right now, and Bridal Shoes lets you dye them to fit your wedding colors perfectly!

You can pretty much customize your shoes just the way you like including adding decoration (including jewels,) sparkle words on the soles, and they have every height from flats to super high heels. 

There are so many that I love on their site...these were some of my fave though:

Go take a look- especially if you are a bride-to-be!

Big Plans from a Little Piece

I am so excited about these drawer pulls I just bought this week at Restoration Hardware.

I have literally lost sleep over them- that is how excited they make me! :)

The reason, is because I never thought I would be able to afford big, heavy, nice hardware for my kitchen cabinets.  Did I mention they are 8 INCHES wide?!! :)

The other reason is because this brass color is harder to find than the silver tones and I have been hoping I could have brass accents in my house but didn't think it was within my reach.

My dreams are coming true for my dream kitchen on a super strict budget!  

Can't wait to share more with you on how I am going to transform this kitchen:

Twinkle Calligraphy Giveaway!

Leita is the artist of Twinkle Calligraphy and was an absolute pleasure to work with.  Here is a little about her and her business:

"Calligraphy has been a long time passion of mine. Joy fills my soul when I am creating beautiful writing. I put all my love into making words come to life. I am so happy to be able to share this joy with so many. It makes me so happy to see handmade calligraphy in unexpected places (backs of trucks, random walls, cafe menus, .. ). I fell in love with Paris witnessing all the dancing letters everywhere. I swear it is mood-altering. I am also a kundalini yoga teacher in the Phoenix area, mother of 2 amazing daughters, fiance to the most wonderful man I know, and friend to many."

Leita sent me a return address stamp in a cute little box like this one:

It is absolutely adorable!  I can't wait to do some Christmas cards this year with a cute address of our very first HOUSE!  That's right- we are finally buying our first house and couldn't be more thrilled.

 Leita also does Calligraphy for wedding announcements and name tags:
