Do I hear a Twitter patter??

Like my title? Well for a while now I have been contemplating on creating a Twitter account for Frame Fanatic. Since I plan on starting up a frame-selling business, I figure this would be a great and easy way for people to get updates on upcoming frame designs and what is selling in my etsy shop (which I also plan on starting up soon). So I need your feedback: would you follow me on Twitter? :0)

[Motivational Monday: Mirror Mirror on the Wall]

Have you been wanting to incorporate more mirrors in your home decor? Well, I have. It's amazing what one (or 2, or 3!) mirror can do to a room. It gives any room character and style while still being functional as a way to check for any food between your teeth. :0) It also opens up a small room making it appear larger. If natural light reflects on it, it doubles as another room brightener. I love mirrors! Hope this Motivational Monday inspires you!

[Sometimes one mirror just isn't enough. Arranging an array of several smaller mirrors gives the illusion of bigger wall space and totally adds style along with an eclectic look. I love it how all of the mirrors are round bouncing off a round window. You too can achieve this look by collecting old mirrors in various sizes and displaying them to compliment your decor.]

["Three's Company Too!" Sorry, I immediately thought of that theme song when I saw this photo. But I love how 3 tall mirrors are displayed behind 2 twin beds. Makes the room appear taller. Genius!]

[Now this is a neat idea! You can spice up any old closet door, pantry door, etc. by adding small mirrors to any traditional door. You could have them cut to fit the style of your door. It's different but is definitely a conversation piece.]

[Ahhh...I just adore white rooms...wait, back to the mirror. Placing a mirror close to a window brings a ton of light in. And for some reason I have a fascination for mirrors in dining rooms. I can just picture how a large mirror could reflect the light from a candlelit dinner. So nice...]

Now go out and get you some mirrors! If you incorporate them into your decor, you'll be amazed at the results. Happy Monday! :0)

[Transformation Thursday: Laundry/Craft Room (cont'd.) - Laundry Signs & Pretty Decor]

Since a lot of you were quite interested in my laundry/craft room (thank you all for the sweetest comments!), I thought I might share with you some details about my room that I didn't really go into on my last post about it. To view my laundry/craft room transformation post, click here.

[I bought this laundry sign at Hobby Lobby. I loved it as soon as I saw it and knew it would be perfect for my laundry room. Originally I had it hanging above the door mounted to the wall, but then I noticed the cord that goes to the ipod stereo hanging from the ceiling (oh and my husband installed those outlets himself!). So I figured I would cover it up as much as I could with this sign. After buying a chain, cutting it to the length I wanted, and mounting an s-hook from the ceiling, I have this rustic laundry room decor.]

[I bought this sign at Big Lots (I love that store!). I believe it was 5 bucks. Thought it was cute and went along with the rustic theme.]

[Isn't this just the cutest?! I mean, who could resist a puppy laundry sign? I have a puppy (although he's 2 1/2 now so I guess he's not exactly a puppy anymore), and this reminded me of him always stealing laundry. I have this sign hung on a clothes line above the washer/dryer for now.]

[This was one of many Dollar Store finds. I bought it about 8 years ago and still love it.]

[I got this at Wal-Mart and thought the colors would go perfect on my craft shelf. Plus I love it that I never have to water it!]

[A simple flower in a small vase. I bought the vase from Target for $1. I think it was around Valentine's Day because the other side of it says "love". :0) It sits on a shelf we built above the sink/washer/dryer. I makes me smile.]

Well, that concludes this portion of my laundry/craft room. I have tons more details to share with you (i.e. tin buckets, wire baskets, photo boxes, etc.), but I will discuss those in a later post. So stay tuned for more!

REMINDER:

The Frame Giveaway ends TONIGHT at 11pm PST!!! Click here to enter before time runs out! I will announce the winner tomorrow! Good luck! :0)
