Tuesday's customer inspiration - Nicole's lovely living room and Farrell's sweet toddler chair!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages - without further ado, let me show you how nice the McCreary gray sofa looks in Nicole's living room as well as a toddler chair that Farrell made fit for a king (or prince).
Though I love the McCreary sofa Nicole purchased a month or so ago - the show stopper in this photo is the amazing yellow side chair - wouldn't you agree? I love the gray and yellow combo!
Nicole writes: We are LOVING the sofa that we bought from Jubilee a few weeks ago. We've paired it with some vintage pieces and pops of yellow. People want to know where we found it so Jubilee has been a topic of conversation with our guests. So thankful for what you do!
Thank you, Nicole!
Here's part of Farrell's email:
Hi Susan! I live in the city and have been out to Jubilee on numerous occasions, though not as much as I'd like now that we have two babes. I've been meaning to email you for ages about a sweet little chair that we got at Jubilee, and I am now getting around to it. The chair that we bought ($12 maybe?) was a high chair at one point, I think, but didn't have the tray. Since we had a highchair already, that wasn't a problem - I decided to make it over as a toddler chair for my son in time for his first birthday party.
It was probably plain wood at one point, but had been painted over in white - I sanded that down and gave it a metallic gold paint job, a throne for the prince that the little guy is :).
It was super festive for his bday party, but it actually looks great with our decor. We use it to this day (he's over two now) for all meals as well as for helping out in the kitchen! It's a modest makeover, but I thought I'd pass it along anyway.
How adorable is Farrell's son? Very! I love how the gold has an understated, matte finish to it. And the two words she chose for the front and back really do sum up the gift of children - they are indeed precious and a blessing!
And I feel very blessed by Nicole's and Farrell's emails - as well as the precious ones waiting for another Tuesday to share! Ahh, the riches...
Thank you for stopping by, dear reader! Hope to see you again on Friday when I show you lots of the goodies the guys picked up this week!

Clean: With modern flat design the area is very clean and organized. There is no need for clutter and everything will have a soothing, calming and restful feel. Your flat or home is your castle and should reflect as such. There will be a clean look but should also be unbroken clean and tidy. Nothing is worse than having great accessories and pieces to make up the modern flat but it is unkempt and untidy.
Spacious: Studio apartments even have the ability to look spacious, when set out in the right manner. Avoid excessively large furniture in small spaces that will crowd the flat and make it appear smaller than it actually is. Minimal furniture can be placed in rooms to make the room appear more spacious. Also furniture can be placed against walls and not in the middle of the room. These apartments are all about have space to walk around and also to look astatine everything that is on display. If the room is set out well, even the most minute pieces and details will be seen and comprehended by guests.
Glass: Glass is one thing that is commonly found. While traditionalists may prefer wood coffee tables and other pieces, a modern apartment will have glass pieces. Glass makes the apparent feel clean and bright. The sun reflecting off of or shining through the glass of various objects gives the modern apartment an aesthetic appeal. Colored glass can also be used to match certain color schemes throughout the room. The colored glass can be in contrast to the colors or match it and still appear modern and up-to-date.
Colors: Modern apartments can have a variety of colors depending on the individual’s taste. Some people prefer soft and neutral colors. While others prefer bold colors.

However, just by having a pre-built set up does not mean that we have to give up on style. Although it is commonly thought that these houses are rather boxy looking, nothing could be further from the truth these days. There are many designs promptly available for the buyer, but the manufacturers will alter and redesign the building to make it fit into what the customer wants.
Some people will want to construct a more traditional style place but this can take an inordinate amount of time and cash too. Difficulties in the finishing materials always appear to rear its ugly head just when the family may be looking forward to the move. Even delays due to inclement weather can add months to the expected finish date so it is important that people take this into account when they start the whole project.
Of course, the wonders of modern technology mean that these prefabricated houses ar simply bolted together in a matter of a day or two. Even those who have no construction experience merely have to use a screwdriver and a few other tools to finish the job. As long as the foundations ar professionally finished, the whole thing can be put up very quickly and can be tenanted as soon as the furniture is moved in.
Floor plans for these wonderful places are really easy to work out and it is really only the imagination which limits what can be done. Some people will even design the whole place themselves and then leave it up to the manufacturer to interpret these plans in a way that is satisfactory to both parties.
Those who ar extra clever will surely add in some other extra materials too like stone fire chimneys and breasts. This gives the whole place that look of sustainability which comes with the more traditional place but it really fools the eye since most of the building will be just bolted together.
Of course, since most of the materials are man-made, they ar extremely easy to take care of and resistant to pests which would normally eat through wood at an alarming rate. Those parts that are natural, like wood sidings etc, will be pre-treated in the factory so they should be safe right from day one.

Perfect kitchen lighting fixtures to improves every aspect of your kitchen
Kitchen lighting improves every aspect of your kitchen. It gives light to areas where it is needed such as the working areas or tables. It also enhances the ambience by casting a warm and inviting glow. Kitchen lighting fixtures is as important as your kitchen appliances. Without it, everything will be useless, maybe of course, except if you want to cook using a candle.
Ideally, kitchen lighting design should aim to strike a balance: sufficiently bright and suitably positioned to provide good illumination especially around work spaces such as the hob, sink and food preparation areas; yet without appearing unduly harsh. In many, if not most, households, the kitchen is the heart of the home and should therefore be a warm and welcoming place, not stark and sterile.
So, the key to getting kitchen lighting fixtures right is understanding the basic principles of lighting design and understanding how the space itself functions. Underpinning most contemporary kitchen lighting designs is the idea that there are different types of light, usually labelled decorative, accent, task and ambient. Using each of these appropriately and achieving an overall balance to the room results in an effective and pleasing arrangement.

So that being said, I'm recycling some old photos with some new ones today. We don't go to church until 1 pm today so I have some time to myself while hubs is still sleeping.
Some little tussie mussies I made last year.
One of my gorgeous roses from last year. It's been a very cool and wet spring this year and haven't seen any flowers yet but there are buds forming. I can't wait to be able to share this year's crop with you.
Some of the little scrunched paper flowers I made. Easy peasy, chicks, and you can use scraps of paper to do it.
This is one of the coffee filter roses I started making. This is one of the better ones, but I like the ones I'm doing now much better. They're fluffier and much, much easier to work.
And now for the real eye candy for me: Miss Caroline at her 1st birthday party. Love the drool on her chin. ;-)
Her Mummy and Dada took her on the ferry across to the islands in Washington. I think she loved the trip by the expression on her face.
