Bathroom Vanity and Contest Winner!

So I have been a little behind...in fact very behind in announcing a winner to the Name Your Wish Images contest! My kids were home from school and the week was way more exciting than I thought it would be! I had very little time in front of my computer but that was time well spent with my kids!

One of the projects I was working on this past week was a mini bathroom face-lift on my own very boring bathroom that sorely needs updating...and since this is not my forever home, I am not committing to a full bathroom redo.  Instead, I am challenging myself with a budget makeover...starting with the oak vanity, which I would like to paint. Here are some of my inspiration photos...

This one is in Benjamin Moore Ashley Gray....pretty, right?

Could you not just die from the detail on this??? I want to replicate this!

Great new window treatment resource!

So today I am the Featured Designer over at the Blinds First blog, Blindsopedia. I was very excited when Blindsopedia asked me to contribute and share some of my thoughts on window treatments so I got up on my soapbox and called myself the Rachel Zoe of windows....yes, people, I was having a good day that day! Anyway, please go check out the post and I appreciate any comments you can leave there! Due to space constraints, they did not include all the yummy photos I chose to join the story so I am posting those here. Its a teaser to my story!

And if you are not familiar with Blinds First, they are a new shop at home window resource with great support for their customers. Check out their FREE samples and their great return policy. Always love finding new resources.

BTW, I was not paid for this post in money or window treatments! But I am featured on their Facebook Page as the Featured Designer....go 'Like' them for great window updates!

On another note, there are only a few days left to enter the amazing giveaway from Name Your Wish Images and entries are low so get over there and say something! Enter here.

Good Valentine's Gift for the Home and a Giveaway!

A few months ago, I had a vendor table at a charity event for the Visiting Nurse's Association of the Hudson Valley. I met many wonderful attendees and even had a chance to explore the other vendors as well. Lucky me, two tables down were two amazing women of Name Your Wish Images . At Name Your Wish Images, they personalize original photography which they sell through their own Etsy photography shop. And since I just love to mix business with pleasure, I had to do a little shopping myself! I picked this photo for the cafe shelf in my kitchen (please ignore the fact that I don't have candles on the candlesticks..clients first, I say!)

And a close-up of the picture personalized with my family....(hold your comments, I am not a photographer...ok?)

Here are some of my favorites from Name Your Wish Images which I think would be divine Valentine's Day gifts:
