some of my favorite things that make me smile!

One of my main goals when decorating is; will it look nice not to cluttery but still within design? I like my house to look nice clean and organized, but that is hard to do when you have a family. One of my other goals is finding a balance of nice clean and organized but I also want it to look comfortable and lived in not stiff and cold, but still nice... hard balance but that is what goes through my mind when decorating oh and also whats the cheapest nicest way possible way to do it:)

I love love love love love a my main bathroom it makes me smile everytime I go in there, ( except for the lame sink and mirror that are in there one day will get changed>)

This is another thing in my house that when I walk by makes me happy! I love the colors so calming yet feel so happy! I have an obsession with these animals that are made out of things from outside so adorable I got mine at michaels for 1.99 and saw them at Anthropology for 12.99!!! talk about crazy markup!

I just finished recovering my pillows on my couch! I even learned how to put zippers in~ now I am a pro!

This is our TV room that now I love sitting in ... thats a problem:( I should have made it less inviting

What are some things in your house that make you smile?

working on

Isnt this chair lovely? Well I know it doesn't look so lovely right now but it will soon enough!

My sweet awesome adorable very giving hubby got me these shelves from Ikea last fall I love how organized they make me feel! This is in my craft room that will one day get a nice boost in the decor department one day. I plan to paint the shelves someday soon, for now it just makes me happy to look at.
