New Chandelier

Our new chandelier that we bought from Ikea is finally up! We got it about a year ago and my husband somehow never got around to install it.

Here is the before the new chandelier and the after: just subtle and simple

I love to create something simple and transform it into something beautiful. Here are some of my work. Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose. — Charles Eames I have always been fascinated with all aspects of design...from print to web design, fashion, interior design, and I recently just got hooked on photography.

The simple things

Simple things make me happy, whether strolling along the park with hubby and puppies, or just relaxing at the beach. Even when decorating our home, simplicity is the main key. Sometimes, the small simple things make a house a home, you don't really need to have expensive furniture decorate your place. When decorating our home, we just worked with what we have and were pretty happy with the results. Here are some of the simple things in our little nest. A happy home ::}} Laugh Often, Live Well, Love Much hmm I need to dust often! =D My parents got these vases for us from South Dakota, so we drove 24 hours to drive these back to Virginia Beach.O_o Didn't think we would paint our wall chocolate brown, but we sure did! adding white chandeliers to bring out the color. Hope you enjoy the little tour, to view more of the before and after pictures...please visit our nest
