It's Always in the Details

So after posting about some new changes around our house, I thought it was fitting today to post about some little changes I have made over the past few weeks.

Details do make a difference when it comes to decorating...at least that is what I've heard and I think it is true! :)

Here are some of the little projects I've completed over the past few weeks:

I moved our IKEA shoe storage around and added some pillows to the couch which I took from our kitchen nook.

I added this cute little yellow basket to the chalkboard wall for holding chalk.

It's great for making grocery lists and writing sweet notes to my husband (actually it's the other way around...he always writes me notes!)

And occasionally my daugther and I like to draw on it together.

I also added this big Gator football frame to our bookshelves.

The bigger frame makes a bigger impact on the decor and I like it!

I added this lamp to my desk for extra lighting.

How do you incorporate details into your home decorating?

Entryway Idea FAIL....

Well, last week I posted about an inspirational entryway that I planned to duplicate a little bit....

well, that plan failed a bit! Does that ever happen to you...you see a picture on another blog or in a magazine and think "Yeah, I'm gonna do that!" and then, as it turns out, the end result doesn't work out like you thought it would?

But there is always a back-up plan thankfully!

It should come as no surprise to you (and to my husband for that matter!) that I LOVE to move furniture around in our home. It's amazing what a little rearranging will do.

Here is what our entryway use to look like:

 

And the entryway by our door use to look like this:

 

So it just didn't make sense to me that our IKEA shoe storage wasn't by our front door.

So I moved it!! 

 Problem solved, right!?

So here is where I am right now as far as moving things around goes:

I still have more pictures to share with you about the new arrangement.

And yes, we do have 2 shoe storage systems...stay tuned to see where the other one went.

Also, I repainted the shoe storage systems with a custom color I mixed together. I'm not really feeling the new color so it may get painted again to an off-white, or navy color....who knows at this point!!!

Are you as indecisive as me?

I hope so, so I can feel a little better about myself and my impulsive decisions. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
