June 2011

My apologies for the hiatus in posting this week - it has been a busy, busy week for me. I'm hoping to catch up on posts a bit over the next few days, but I'm not sure whether or not that will happen. Here are some photos that have been inspiring me this week, found via A Life's Design:

Here are some shots of bedrooms I came across on iVillage and thought I would share. Our bedroom has a nice base, but definitely needs some more decorating before it's finished. I have a post planned for the near future of the current state of our bedroom + ideas I have that I want to add. These gave me some nice ideas in a variety of decor:

I often think about what I'd like in our next home. The changes that I'd make based on what we currently have, the way our lives would be with different features, layouts, etc. Thankfully, I have a brother-in-law who is studying to be an architect and has assured me that he will come up with plans for our next house if I tell him what I want. I have started that list more times than I can count, but always get hung up on the fact that there are so many things to think about & I'm not sure how much detail I need to include.

Okay, so this post isn't solely decor or home related. However, as I'm sure many of you can attest to, decorating and maintaining a home can definitely be an expensive endeavor. Being a one income family for the most part, we do our best to make sure that our purchases are smart & well thought out. We also purchase everything in cash, and have no debt other than our mortgage (which we are working toward paying off early).
