so a lot is going on at our casa....we have officially sold our house and are in the process of building.  the kicker is our new house will take 6 months....we get to stay in our home until june, then we will be homeless....i've got a lot to figure out in the next month!!

it's impossible for me to sit at the computer and not listen to music.  tonight i discovered my "new band"...i'm sure you have heard of them b/c they play one of their songs nonstop on the radio...the lumineers.  but you really need to listen to their other music...starting w/ classy girls, big parade, and morning song.  i just bought the whole album b/c it's good....like friday night w/ a glass of wine and pinterest good.....

lately, i have been drawn to details...mostly in upholstery, pillow designs, and window treatments.  things that take an ordinary piece to the next level.  most of them are really simple: adding a contrast color for cording or as a banding on a solid upholstery piece,  using a mini flange (i love it w/ ruffle pleat corners) on pillows or chair cushions, adding a stripe (or pattern) fabric banding to simple roman shades or down the leading edge of panels give an extra oomph, or simply using another fabric on the backs of chairs adds an element of surprise to any space.   simple details like these make all the difference in the world!!  try one next time your thinking of updating a piece!!!
