In Dallas Child Magazine

Hey Guys. I hope your Thanksgiving Holiday was everything you wanted it to be. Mine was busy, busy, busy. My Aunt from Atlanta came home which made my week, along with a host of other family and friends. I had a chance to share with everyone my feature in Dallas Child Magazines November issue which is a local magazine here in Dallas. I mentioned it a while back on the blog, so here it is. I am honored, and so thankful to be included in a magazine source that I have read since I became a Mom. They have since added new features, with one being “Nesting” which covers the HOME which is my PASSION. Since being in the magazine I have received emails from new readers with such wonderful notes, and inspiring words. To them I say…

THANK YOU.

On another note. I get emails from time to time regarding blog advice. I have decided for the first time to do a post answering QUESTIONS on blogging. The other posts that I have done on blogging advice have just come straight from me, and what’s on my mind. This post will be via the questions that you guys ask.

salmon pink memories

Everyday I walk in my office, and I fall more and more in love with its new color. I knew this salmon pink would work, and it gives the office an automatic light that was missing with the darker green. I am still trying to figure out how I am going to do a few DIY’S, and what I want to do with seating, etc. But all in all this is where I stand, and with new chevron window panels. With the holidays approaching I had to at least get it decent, and this is what decent is. As time passes along, I become more and more pleased with my decision to make a huge color change.

I decided to put my Grandmothers skirt on my mannequin because I love the skirt, the color, and all that it means. The pearls were then added for the same reasons. The photo of us on my desk is one that is always there. My hubby took this photo of us during my senior year in high school. What memories we made, she and I. I want here with me at all times.

unexpected lace

This sweatshirt was sitting all by its lonesome, and calling my name in the clearance section for $19. When I spotted the lace, I knew this was made just for me. So unexpected. It can be worn as seen with fitted jeans, or a boyfriend jean. Either way, I would wear some type of heel to balance out the sweatshirt look. But the lace tells the style story.

Television furniture

Are you looking for audio video furniture or a corner television stand for a media room, family room or den? Finding the right furniture for those spaces that fit your audio needs can be tricky, but easily done. One would want quality and style for an eye catching room. Below are pieces that I think offer style and function because they offer storage, and the ability to accessorize with books and other pieces.

question for style bloggers…

and those that read the blogs.

I have noticed over the last year that more and more women are coming forward with style blogs. Showing us daily their personal style and how they make it their own. Different colors, sizes, tastes, and economic backgrounds. Everyone seems to have their own voice, and willing to share it everyday.

I have my own ideas as to why I think they are so important, and why more and more are made everyday. But my question is to you-------

WHY DO YOU STYLE BLOG? or READ THEM?

Dallas based Interior Designer and author Jan Showers has always been a designer at the top of my favorites list. Her work says JAN WAS HERE at first glance. The pieces in her furniture collection are so very sophisticated and glamorous.  Her pieces speak to those that want a level of elegance, but with a modern edge that makes them still relatable.  If your not familiar with her work, please take a look at what she has created.
