idea boards

I've always loved the clean look of ideas boards, but I haven't been sure how to pull this off! I started copy-pasting into a pages document. Here is the result. It worked real nice and after I had all the pics in order I locked the pics into a group. The only problem I came across is that you can't just save the idea board ...it saves the whole document. I had to then just take a picture of the screen and save it that way. I really have to figure out how to use adobe photo shop! Boo!

Gold Mirrors

I've been looking for something super trendy and modern for our guest bathroom. Ballard design has some great mirrors for decorating. I love mirrors in my house. I've got to be careful though, because Zack starts feeling like he lives in a dressing room or crazy fun house at the the circus. Every time he turns around I've hung another mirror. This might be the last one I get to hang for awhile. :)

I've been in re-decorating mode. I find that I start in one room and slowly move things around the house until I find a place for them. And no room ever really gets completed. I work on a room until I feel like I've got nothing else creative to do in there for awhile or am stuck with what to do next.

Lately, I've been looking at pillows. It started because I've been looking at decorative pillows to put on my bed, so that I can finish off the bed. I bought a uphostered bed which is a bit off white. And the bedding I got from Anthropologie, is stark white. So there is a bit of a clash. I'm trying to make it look like I did it on purpose. Hence, I'm looking for some cute textured pillows that are cream and white to mix and match.

As I started doing this, I realized that if I changed the pillows down in the family room...I would feel like the room looked much more perky. I found this site that supposedly sells fabric at cheap deals and I found a lot of pillows I like at Pier 1. Here's what i found.
