Bummer the US lost. But that has not stopped the kids love for soccer. I came across this great boys bedroom designed by Kate Hume. How fantastic  is this…

I love those light fixtures. What about this one..

Decorating with soccer in mind can just be a matter of touches.  To create nice bedding we could make a eurosham  with soccer fabric and denim piping.

This is fabric is of nice quality..

Mix it with a denim quilt and  shams…

Use a simple white sheet set or mix it up with  a Serena and Lily sheet set to say GO USA…

There is plenty of artwork available that focuses on soccer..

Maybe a distressed hand painted picture will do…

Use a vintage poster…

We can’t forget the girls…

See you…

Ok I had some major computer issues with my blog this week. I am finally back writing posts thanks to my happening computer guy.

Well, it is the  last day of school for my boys.  The last day of school is a huge celebration when you have teenagers. No more nagging. No more trips to the tutor.  No more worrying about grades.  No more getting up at the crack of dawn.  I am just as happy as they are.

The boys have a busy, but incredibly fun summer schedule.  Fencing is heating up as they prepare for a national tournament in Atlanta over 4th of July.  After wards they  will visit with friends and family for a week .  Then it is off to Whale Camp.  Whale camp is something so special to them.   Camp stories trickle out from them all year long.  It is always a touch of sadness for Miles and me  to see them leave. But they can’t seem to get to the airport gate faster. We are lucky to get a 2 minute phone call during their 3 week stay.  A customer told me once that our job as a parents is to give our children roots and wings. So I guess this is the wings part of the equation.

In the shop we are changing our window display in celebration of summer.  We will  have this lovely diving diva making a splash. They are cut from wood, painted and are about 48″ long. A nice vintage feel.   They would make a real statement in a beachy bedroom.

We are using some of the other items from this company to   decorate  a client’s  Jack and Jill bathroom. Touches of teal and some nice art for a little boy and girl. I love a bit of the mysterious. So we will use this mermaid picture.

Moby Dick  will also make an appearance.

Celebrate summer!

See you.

The poufs are in.

Poufs  can add a stylish element. They can be a great alternative to an ottoman. In a nursery , use one with a glider. They  add additional seating that is low enough for kids to use.  Use them in a bedroom at the foot of the bed. Use them in a playroom.

So many places…

Kelly Wearstler used them in her little boy’s bedroom.

What’s not to love about poufs…

See you
