Inspiration Sunday - Wallpaper

I would really love to put some wallpaper up on one wall in our bedroom (most likely the wall that the head of the bed is against), in order to make it the accent wall.

It's amazing how a little bit of color would change the whole dynamics of a room. It's equally amazing how many different varieties of wall paper there is. I really like the flocked or foil wall paper. The 3-D look is pretty cool too.

This is how I would love to put the wall paper on the one wall that the head of the bed is leaning on. I like the neutral palette with the splashes of blue. I'd choose different pillow shams though, as I'm not too keen on the striped ones. :)

Ohhh, I love this room. It looks so elegant and that bed...gorgeous! Even though there are different patterns and textures, it works so well together.

This 3D wallpaper is quite amazing. It really adds some nice dimension.

I love this gold damask wallpaper. It has such a warm, rich feeling to it and it looks so good contrasted against all that white.

Alphabet wallpaper. Who knew? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. :) I would love this wallpaper for an office space or in a huge frame in my older son's room. So neat!

I like this room set-up. It feels like you are in the wildnerness but have the comforts of home. The 'chandelier' hanging from the ceiling is pretty funky too.

Oh, I love this idea. Wallpaper within a frame. So simple, yet adds so much. I may just have to do something like this.

A Month in Photos - March

I love working on my 'month in photos'. I can't wait until the end of the year when I have twelve of these in my album. And I can't wait until a few months, a year, and a few years down the road when I can look back on all of these wonderful memories.

Here is the whole layout side-by-side.

Changing Up My Blog...

I'm just changing up my blog a bit by adding columns and other elements, so if it looks a little different than usual, that is the reason why. :)

A work in progress.
I'm liking how it looks so far...

***********************************************************************************


The only problem was that I lost ALL of my blog followers! :(

So if you could please click on 'Follow' under 'FOLLOWERS' on the right side column, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!

Salsa - The Multi-Purpose Condiment

Something I really love is salsa. Especially salsa with lots of cilantro!

Salsa with tortilla chips, salsa in black bean soup, salsa on chicken, salsa as a dip for crackers and veggies, salsa on a baked potato...

Salsa has so many great uses! :)

Seeing that I love salsa on a baked potato. I thought, why not try scrambling an egg, putting it on the potato and then topping it with salsa? Heck, why not?

Sure was good! :) Next time, I'll grate a little cheese on top too...
