~Home Ideas~

Alright would anyone like to read about some great home decorating ideas? Well, I have a few for you! Real simple and pretty easy to do, which is what we all like-right?


1. Dressing the Bed- Want an instant slipcover for your bed? Find old pieces of fabric or even cut up old pieces of clothing. Get creative and lay them as they did in the photo below or any way that you wish.



2. Have some Fun with Frames- Let your imagination shine-in by designing a impressive display of your family love. Or if you desire just leave the frames blank for eye-catching adventure. Some might wonder or even ask why there is nothing in them, but it's fun and decorative!

3. Teacup Jewelry Box- Show off your pretty jewels and keep them at hand by displaying them in a gorgeous little teacup. It makes new life for a teacup as well as a place to put your jewelry.





4. Gander Fun- Do you have a little porch, patio or a sitting area outside with some rafters at the top or just some sort of hideousness that needs to be covered up? Or is that outdoor space just too boring? Well, here's a solution. Get some dazzling vintage handkerchief's or any piece of fabulous fabric and place or even throw them up -if you like- above to conceal. Instant eye-candy to show off!



5. Bloomin'- Have an Old toothbrush holder jar or maybe a old birdcage laying around? You don't want those to go to waste, so fill them up with a display of a lovely flower arrangement. Immediate Floral Flair!



Or you might have an old fireplace that doesn't work, well put it to some good use! Give it a make-over so it will be fresh as a Daisy!

6. A peek inside- Is the sun too bright or do you simply need a little priacy area all for yourself? Fashion up those windows or space with a fun fabric shower curtain. Create a cozy and gorgeous feel!



Hope you enjoyed some of these inspiring tips that I thought were practical and add a fresh-look to your existing space. So hopefully you will try something new in your home whether it be one of these Funtastic Ideas or another! Daisy~

~Glorious Chandeliers~

I really like these modern chandeliers, I just don't think I would have them that close to my table. I would have to hang them up higher or perhaps either someplace else.

I found this picture in a old home magazine trying to sell their products. I've had the photo for a while but I can't remember the name of the magazine. But I thought this was a gorgeous decorated-up chandelier- so romantic! I love the beautiful flowers surrounding the candles.

This is the inside of a nice little nightclub. I thought it was a restuarant at first since it was so fancy-looking and appealing.

Love this huge Chandelier! It's perfect if you have a really tall ceilings to make the room feel more full. I bet that baby cost and weighs a ton though- Oh well! It's gorgeous!

I love the colors and elegant feel of this last room designed by Emma. I want a fireplace in my home. This one is lovely!

I believe this was designed for Molly Sims Home. Gosh- I can't remember for sure though.

I have a thing for French Doors, glass doors, sliding doors- just anything to do with beautiful doors. I was wondering if these were doors or part of the home such as an entrance before you walk into the room. Which ever I really like them.

~In Wonderland~

I just love these fantasy Pictures. So enchanting and whimsy! Let your imagination run wild........

Amanda Seyfried playing Alice In Wonderland for Vogue Italia. I thought she did a really great photo shoot job. It's said that in 2010 Tim Burton is coming out with a Alice in Wonderland Movie and that Amanda here would like to play the role of Alice, but it's highly doubted that she would get the lead. Ibelieve they are looking at Dakota Fanning. I'm sure Johnny Depp will make in there somehow....but uhhh wonder who he would play?


"Painting the roses Red.... Painting the Roses Redddd..."






Found these great photos on Photography Link. I really like the whole fun in the Sun theme and at the same time it's very dazzling and beautiful in the background. The house and the land really set off these photos. Love it!!

~Barbie~
Since her debut in 1959, Barbie has captured countless generations of girls, with her truly and sophiscated sense of style. Barbie and her fashions- featuring fine fabrics, exquisite miniature detailing and coordinating accessories- have enchanted women of all ages. This fascination is still very much alive today in the heart of every Nostalgic Barbie doll collector and in all of us who cherish fond childhood memories of our first Barbie doll.
~So come on Let's be young at heart~


Barbie-The best-selling fashion Doll in history now has her own 6,996 square-foot girly store. The store is located in Buenos Aires. It features Barbie Beauty Parlor where girls can go get glamorous hairdos and try on make-up for fun. Also, they can feel like Barbie by dressing up in the pink gowns and costumes. Discover the Barbie Doll Playroom which is just Barbie heaven. Getting hungry, go to the Barbie cafe and indulge in some Yummy frosted desserts.

These desserts look amazing! I like how they decorated the chocolate cake with the pink Barbie. So Cute! And I guess the others have purses, shoes and clothes- I am guessing.
