Silver Chic Designs

I checked out Etsy today looking for neat earring holders/organizers. Originally I was looking for some sort of tree type earring holder but I came upon these amazing twisty copper things and I fell in love with them. They are such simple, clever designs and are very visually appealing. I liked them so much I even put one on my Amazon wishlist (another wonderful thing, by the way). Tonight I went back to Etsy and looked at these items again and noticed that the designer of these wonderful creations is right here in Houston!! Please check out Silver Chic Designs... you'll see what I'm talking about.

 I love the twisty, loopy, copperyness of it all! This one is called the Copper Vortex. It's a great way to display your earrings and it can easily rest on top of your dresser. I like that it makes use of vertical space so it doesn't take up a lot of room. Plus, it looks so neat!

This is the Lombard Street Earring Hanger. I love the snakish shape AND you can hang it on a closet rod; which is perfect if you don't have much dresser top space.

 Here is the Birdcage Bracelet Organizer. Another different looking and beautiful piece.

This is so beautiful! It's the Tropical Breezes Necklace Hanger. Of course it could be used for bracelets too!

Give the Treble Clef Earring Display to the music lover in your life. Every piece looks so well made and unique.

 She also has some pretty necklaces in the mix. This is the Stone Painting Necklace.

Lovely Home in Charlotte

I saw this house while checking out Southern Living. The house is so classic and beautiful on the outside and it just gets better once you walk through the door. I really enjoy the different prints and colors used throughout the house. Love it.

I have always loved houses that look like this one.

The family room. I love this room so much! Every piece of furniture is a different print but they all work so well together. That mirror? Fuhgettaboutit! : ) And there is plenty of seating so everyone can hang out together.

Now, green is my favorite color so I love the green walls and other little touches of green in this kitchen. Even if it weren't green I would still love it. I think every kitchen needs to have an island. I like the big window and the mix of glass door and solid door cabinets.

I LOVE that the stove is set in an alcove! I'm not sure why other than I think it looks neat.

The breakfast area is great! Yes, I love the lime green chairs but I also think the bench seating along the wall is very smart and then the storage space under that seating is brilliant!

The dining room looks great! I absolutely LOVE the chandelier!!

Daughter's bedroom. Of course, more green (love it) and I like the little reading corner complete with tent. The wallpaper is fun too and livens up the whole room.

This is the son's room. Love the bright colored bedding in the same room as the black and white curtains!

This is the "office". Truly, it's my kind of office. Very organized and uncluttered. Nice.

The parent's bedroom is much more neutral and simple but still very great looking.

Love, love this bathroom! It's got so much great light coming in. I bet a bath in that tub is so relaxing!

Stacking Storage Drawers

I got an early birthday present this week.  My husband is getting me several things to 'make space' in my craft area which doubles as the guest room.  He went ahead and gave me these so I could get a little of it organized.

These 12x12 three drawer units from Wal-mart are wonderful for keeping matching papers and embellishments together in one place.  The drawers actually hold paper a little larger than true 12x12 so all my pattern paper has fit just fine.  Each drawer is removable so I just take the entire drawer over to my work table when I'm ready to use a particular collection.  I had two of these units and he got me two more.  If I catty-corner them, I can fit two stacks in my closet and still open and close all drawers and doors.

I write the cardstock colors that match a collection on a piece of scrap paper and clip them to the drawer front.  Then it is easy to find what matches without pulling out all my cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to visit tomorrow for TIPsy Tuesday.
