Reader's Room- Love Your Space

For this weeks Reader's Room I have very sweet and stylish girl's room from

Heather over at Love Your Space. There are so many things about this room I love, and I think I might have made Heather a bit nuts because every time she'd  send a picture I'd ask to see more.  I immediately fell in love with color scheme, the campaign dresser and the pineapple lamps (I'm a pineapple lamp owner myself).

Here is the before shot. What a transformation!

I love the details here. Heather made these botanical silhouettes AND the headboards...

The painting below is one she made when she was 7 years old.  Her mom had framed it and passed it on to her. What a great touch!

And my favorite feature is the rattan egg chair swing. She made the cushions and pillow herself!

What kid wouldn't want one of these in their room?

Thanks so much for participating Heather! Your girls are so lucky to have a Mom like you and such a great bedroom. Now hop over to Heather's blog and say "Hi!",

and readers... keep the rooms coming! I'd love to see more.

Reader's Rooms-DIY Artwork

Its the return of "Reader's Rooms"!

 Today I have one from my cousin Lisa in New Jersey.  She has been in this house for about two years and has been busy painting and making it her own.  She had a big empty wall over her sofa that needed "something" and a lot of straight lines.  She wanted something with curves and movement to fill the space, so she did what any good DIYer would do and made her own artwork.

Using the paint from the adjoining room, she found some images online for inspiration and bought two canvases to create on. The result... custom art that compliments the space perfectly.  Didn't she do a great job?

 Before...

If you a have a project or room you're proud of, please email me.

 I'd love to add it to the Reader's Rooms series!

Reader's Room and a big THANKS!

First off I'd like to thank Blue Hydrangea, Honey & Fitz, Bromeliad Living , Full House and Me, You & a Wiener for featuring me on their blogs and all you readers for your sweet comments. It made my week and totally lifted my spirits.  THANK YOU!!!  I am always so impressed with the blogging community and how supportive you all are. I also got to meet and discover so many new readers and blogs in the process, which I think is so exciting.

 I just wanted to share with you a photo one reader sent me in reference to my last post about Diane Bergeron's work.  (I really love when you guys send me pictures, and I'm thinking of making this a weekly feature. What do you think? If you have any great spaces you'd like to show off send me an e-mail, the link is at the upper right on my blog.) Here, Marybeth used the same rug in her daughter Claire's Austin apartment...

Didn't she do a great job?  I really love the pop of magenta pink with all the blue (a color combo I am determined to use in my own home.) She found the most of these pieces, including the fab rug at the Wisteria Outlet in Dallas... I SO wish I had one near me! The couch is a floor sample from Crate and Barrel (I have to give a shout out to my niece Ashley who works there), and that great magenta pillow she got on sale at Anthropologie. I love a women that knows how to get a good deal!  Claire is a lucky girl with a super chic pad. 

 Thanks for sharing Marybeth!
