Inspirtation: Display

I have been looking for inspiration for something to hang over my couch. I found these cool images and wanted to share them with you. I love this look...
Home Klondike
I love how the boxes are all different sizes. I think this would be a cool way for me to display my toy collection someday. Here is a photo frame collage wall which looks great in this room with its tall ceilings...

This photo below shows a great use of a corner! Love all the photos sat on the shelves and they even used the floor...

Then of course, I have always dreamed of having a wall of Warhol....

Inspiration: Marilyn Monroe

I have always loved the Marilyn Monroe Andy Warhol print. I used to owe it in orange. Sadly after I paid to have it custom framed, it fell down and the glass shattered. I was so upset. The print was all cut up and damaged so I had to throw it away. I know as soon as I get settled somewhere I am buying the Monroe print again and having it framed. I love the idea of hanging a few together like some of the photos below.

I *Heart* Andy Warhol

I love this image! I really would love to get the Hot Pink Andy Warhol Monroe print for my living room. I have always wanted it!

I also love this Warhol Gun Print!


The Gun Print is only $14.99 and is a regular poster size, which means no custom framing! I think I need to plan a trip to the Andy Warhol Museum!! See my Design Board with the Marilyn Monroe Print {HERE}.

Design Board - Ashley's Bedroom {Monroe & Modern}

Ashley emailed me to help her out with a few rooms in her apartment. For her bedroom Ashley wanted to focus around her Marilyn Monroe poster. She wanted the color scheme to be red, brown and white. Here is what I envision for her space....

*Marilyn Monroe Poster belongs to Ashley*

I love the Ribba square frames from IKEA! They give such a clean modern look. Calendar pages/pictures fit nicely in them and make "cheap" artwork. Ashley could easily frame black and white Marilyn Monroe calendar pages or get some black & white shots of her son made for the frames. Accents of silver give the room a "glam" hollywood feel. {Most of the items on my design board are from IKEA because Ashley is near one.}

Happy Decorating Ashley!

My Guest Bedroom

Now that my office is almost done I am ready to move on to my next project. The Guest Bedroom will home a nursery someday, but for now it will decorated it like this....

Design Board ~ Marilyn Monroe, Vintage and Modern



The main inspiration piece for this room is the vintage 1970's poster, " The love in you heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love till you give it away ". The room is just a collection of items I already have that are just being stored in closets and in my basement. I just have to purchase a few accessories and paint basically. Decorating on a budget can be challenging, but if you are like me you got a bunch of STUFF that you probably can use to do a whole room over!!! I really wanted to paint the room a shade of yellow or purple, but I decided on dark gray. I decided that the accessories would be enough color for this room.

Stay tuned for the end result.... :)

*Creating Marilyn *

(one of my many projects for March 09)

I have been working on signs and photos for my booth! My pink booth is getting a complete makeover!!!



I really want to make my booth feel more "personal", like a little shop. Very little shop considering my booth is only 40 square feet!



I can't have my own store, but I can just keep making my booth better. I had two booths, but I have decided to downsize to just my pink booth. I want to be able to spend all my time on it! With spring coming I also will have less time to work on my booth! I have alot of work to do outside this year! (those who follow my blog have seen the photos! yikes!)



I thought cute little signs framed sitting in the booth here and there would be a cute added touch! I sell purses new and old, Marilyn Monroe photos, glassware, decorative items, and anything that is cute. Here is a old photo of my booth taken sometime last year....



I have sold most everything in this photo. The pretty white desk & hutch is gone. It always looked so pretty in my booth, but I sold it. (money is good!) Now I just have to find time to do all this,...HA!

*Marilyn Monroe*

I have always liked Marilyn Monroe. I love the Andy Warhol prints of Marilyn. That is basically where my "collection" and "love" for her started.





There is a photo of Marilyn in almost every room of my house. The inspiration piece for my bedroom is my orange Marilyn Warhol print. I have been working on decorating my bedroom for over a year now. I am excited to say that I finally took my Warhol print and had it framed. I can't wait to share my photos of my bedroom!!!
