Display Your Art in Your Home Beautifully

As a lover of interior design and art, I love the idea of an art wall in the home. Sometimes it's hard to visualize a number of paintings and framed pictures as a collection though, so I am always looking for inspiration. I ran across this on Tumblr and thought it was a beautiful example of how a collection of art can be hung together and feel cohesive without it being overly structured. I'm tired of perfectly framed art in perfectly matching frames, hung in a perfect row.... BORRRRING!

This collection is eclectic but it still feels warm and well thought out because the art has a similar tone and overall the room and the collection are in the same color family.

What do you think?

Cute Boys Bedroom Idea

How fun is this for a boys bedroom?



Seems like the built in bunk beds would save a ton of space too!

Love it.

Home Good Online Coupons!

A good friend of mine is WAAAAAY into the whole super couponing thing. Frankly I just don't have the time to worry about coupons - especially if it requires a lot of driving around and shopping at multiple stores. I am ALL about convenience. I mean, I run a business and I have kids - I am busy!

But, I do love a good bargain, who doesn't? So, how do I combine convenience with coupons?

ONLINE SHOPPING!

There are many benefits to shopping online - the convenience, the reviews, the opportunity to easily compare pricing.... and websites that offer free coupons!

FREE TIP: 

Before you go buying ANYTHING online, you should search the web for discounts and coupons. For example, you might be on JCPenny.com or Kholes.com or some other online store and you have found just what you are looking for! YAY! Before hitting "buy now" though, why not search the web for a coupon? OR, you can visit a coupon site that you know often provides special offers for the items you are looking for!

The other day I stumbled upon this home goods online store and found a few sweet deals... Then, I bookmarked the site so I can revisit it again when I am looking to make another purchase for my home.



So, now you know. Couponing can be done ONLINE too! All you have to do is search and bam, discounts and instant savings on something you were going to by anyways!

What is your favorite online home goods store? Do you have a favorite home goods coupon site? Share in the comments!

Using Words as Art for Your Home

I am loving this site: http://decor8blog.com/

This style of home decor makes me smile:


Words are such a big part of every day life, why not turn them into wall art? Funny sayings, inspirational quotes, family rules, reminders... what a great way to add a bit of whimsy to your home.

What do you have for art in your home?
