Hey!  Happy Hump Day! One of the things for me that can make or break a room is the light choice.  I love a statement chandelier in a foyer or a whimsical pendant in a girl's room.   I was excited when Parrot Uncle invited me to put together a space using one of their lights.  Parrot Uncle is an online lighting retailer with lighting choices from contemporary and modern to Vintage Home Decor Pendant Lights .  With their large selection, you are able to choose the best style to suit your home.

Hey peeps.  Fall is finally here and it feels nice to walk outside now without immediately soaking through my clothes.  I love this time of year because the temps are going down and we seem to spend more time outside.  I don't like however the shorter days. I've noticed recently is all the fall catalogs that plaid is everywhere.  I don't typically like plaid but I have spotted a few things that I could possibly add to my decor. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 Are you liking the plaid this season?   You're reading Mad For Plaid by Andrea, originally posted on Decorating Cents .  If you've enjoyed this post, be sure to follow Andrea on Facebook , Pinterest , Bloglovin , and Hometalk .

Summer is the time to enjoy the great outdoors.  When we moved into our home, I was looking forward to having dinners on the patio with our kids and having friends over for backyard barbecues.  I see spaces like these and long for gatherings outside.  Just having friends over and doing what my hubby loves to do, throw down on the grill!  My hopes are to one day install a pergola to create a little oasis in the backyard.  They just seem to add an elegance to the patio and create a covering to protect you and guests from the summer heat. Who wouldn't want a space like this?  I love the lanterns and table. source source This space screams backyard party.  I like the two seating areas and the wooden deck is beautiful. source We've already got a patio set but I would like to add a dining table.  It would be nice to have it for a separate seating area.  Here's our patio from last year.  The rug didn't hold up well a...

Well, we are back in school mode this week.  My daughter went back on Monday.  She had been looking forward to this day all summer.  She's more of a social butterfly and likes to be around her friends.  During our school supply shopping, I noticed all the cute locker items.  We won't be needing those for a while since she's only in second grade.   I thought it would be fun to put together things I would have in my locker.  There are so many more things to choose from than when I was in school.  I would want the inside of my locker to be bright and colorful and be a moment of peace, and checking my hair , before heading to the next class. wallpaper / clip magnets / mesh shelf / storage cup / chandelier / mirror / magnets / dry erase board What would be in your locker?   You're reading Back to School: Locker Accessories by Andrea, originally posted on Decorating Cents .  If you've enjoyed this post, be sure t...

My son's nursery is slowly changing.  I guess I shouldn't even call it a nursery anymore since he's two.  I don't really see him as a baby now since he's doing so many things on his own and talking non-stop.  We've removed the front rail from his crib and he gets in and out of bed like a big boy .  It kind of makes me sad to know he's the last baby we'll have. I want to start making changes to his room.  I still love the gray and orange palette.  I've been drawn to the rustic, industrial look and I think his room is the perfect space to add those elements.  The first project to begin this look is a wooden arrow. I started with a leftover poplar board from the board and batten project and a couple of large paint sticks. Using my miter box, I cut a triangle from the poplar board.  This will be the arrow point.  I cut two pieces from one of the paint sticks for the rear of the arrow.  I used another paint stick for th...

Hey there good people.  We're soaking up the last days of summer over here before school starts next week. We recently added another rug pad to our home.  I bought a new rug for the living room back in November of last year.  We rarely use this space but I was concerned the scratchy back of the rug would scratch our floors.  The good people over at RugPadUSA were kind enough to send us another one for this room.  I love the difference it makes.  The area is now padded and I don't have to worry about the kids hurting themselves now.  It feels softer to walk on and I know the hardwood is being protected. Like the previous rug pad , this one is a premium lock .  It's made of high performance recycled felt with a natural rubber bottom for grip.  Rug pads provide comfort when using your rug and protects the floor underneath.  They also prolong the life of your rug.  RugPadUSA offers many types of rug pads that can protect ...

I know many of us that love this contemporary chair.  This classic chair, originally from Eames, has been making it's appearance everywhere.  Most people go with replicas since they are much cheaper than the authentic Eames.  Though I would love an original, my budget can't handle the price tag.  There are many versions out there that are more affordable.
