Last weekend the husband and I headed down to the  Cherry Blossom Festival.  Although we had a great time walking around, the cherry blossoms were making a pretty poor showing.  I guess we shouldn’t have been surprised given a week before it was snowing here in DC!!  I found a couple cherry blossoms that had bloomed near the Washington Monument.

The flower looks so pretty on the branch all on it’s lonesome!  I can’t wait for the rest of the blossoms to flower.  Guess when it happens we will just have to make another trip downtown. =)

Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!!

Babies are just all around adorable … not to mention they some how manage to capture your heart without even trying.   Can you tell I’ve been spending time around an infant??!  My friend recently gave birth to her beautiful baby boy (remember the “Little Man” baby shower?) and needless to say I’ve been visiting her and the little man quite often. :)  Last week we did a little photo shoot and I adore this shot of his itty bitty foot.  It is crazy to me how teeny tiny baby feet are!!!

Happy Friday and have a fabulous weekend!!

A couple weeks ago I shared the geese picture.  After seeing the blog post my friend suggested I turn the picture black and white as well a crop it a little.  So that’s exactly what I did and let me just say I pretty much LOVE  how it looks as a black and white.  It’s funny how make a photo black and white can make such a big difference in the overall composition.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!!

The husband was kind enough to send me roses for my birthday and boy were they pretty!!  I decided to break out the camera and get a couple of shots of them.  Roses may die, but a photo will capture their beauty forever.  After taking the picture I was playing around in PhotoShop and with a few tweaks I ended up with, what to me, looks kind of like an antique rose.

I might make this picture into cards or maybe it will find itself in the hallway gallery.  Either way it was a fun afternoon of tweaking the picture in PhotoShop.

Happy Friday!! Have a great weekend!

We’ve been doing quite a bit of decorating to the living room and hallway over the last few months.  I’m really excited about all the new little details.  Originally the husband and I had planned on hanging the picture below from Mexico in our master bedroom.  When we ended up going with the red accent wall instead of the gray one the picture no longer would do in the bedroom.  Since we still loved the memories of the trips we’ve taken to Ixtapa and the picture itself I was confident we would find a place for it eventually.

A few weeks ago I threw my friend a baby shower and in an effort to set the house up for the party I moved the big comfy chair from the living room nook to where we placed the Christmas tree this year.  I really liked how the new chair placement no only added one more place to sit near the couch, but also made the living room area feel more cozy!  The only problem was now the nook was pretty much empty.  The side table was still there, but it just wasn’t/isn’t enough to fill the space.  The space needs some wall art as well as piece(s) of furniture.

FINALLY we had found a place for our sunset photo!!  After going back and forth between having the photo as a print and framed or a canvas wrap we eventually decided upon a canvas for the sunset photo.  With some help from the rents I decided upon the size (36 x 24) and ordered it from My Publisher.  The best part was My Publisher was having a sale so we got 40% off the canvas wrap!  Within a week the canvas wrap arrived at our front door.  One hook and a level later we were in business!!

Now all we need is the matching sideboard to our wine rack and dining table.  Once we put the sideboard in this little nook it will be complete.  Please Crate and Barrel send us a coupon so we can get a discount on our sideboard!!!

What do you think of the canvas wrap??

Happy Decorating!!
