This makes me smile! You can get one here.

Just a cute poster by Annie Hall that makes me feel warm and mushy towards towards my virtual friends. I love that you bother to read, post comments and share your thoughts on your blogs with me. Happy Friday and olive you guys a lot!

Kirra Jamison's Artwork

I'm head over heels for this artwork by the crazy talented, Kirra Jamison! These three pieces are all gouache and vinyl on paper. I would love any of these delicate, lacy explosions of color.

DIY Kids Art

I don't do this very often but indulge me here folks. My kids are awesome! My husband thinks our boys are going to grow up and be on the PGA tour but secretly I know deep down in my bones they will be artists, chefs and possibly an NFL linebacker (for those of you who know my kiddos, you know to whom I refer). The art above was made for Grandma Strodl this Christmas and she had the good sense to have it framed. Stunning, yes? Anyhow, I bought a six pack of canvases from Michael's and the cheapo acrylic paint and let them have at it. The younger they are the better artwork I've found. My four year old tries too hard to make realistic looking yoda's and star troopers but my two year old's I feel I could pass off as the real deal in a gallery. Moral of the story, you can get a fabulous piece of artwork for cheap that will have far more sentimental value than anything you can buy. I highly suggest it. The bragging rights are priceless.

Tumblr Roundup

Just a mish mash of inspirational images today. This laundry room is just got that something special, hasn't it? Can anyone identify that floral fabric? My guess is Osborne and Little but I haven't researched it yet.

The house is above is very "Amy." Love the bright white walls paired with a bold, colorful accent. The modern pendant, the antique piano. Yes. Oh my yes!

It's just so true isn't it?

Fine Little Shop Selections

Some sweet selections from Fine Little Shop. I think these are such great accessories for a kids room.

Hang That Art With Hangers

Kind of think the way these prints are hung with old hangers is brilliant.
