Bunches of Buttons

While on a recent trip to Minnesota, I visited this quaint little shop in Stillwater and found this beautiful batch of buttons. These are not just ordinary buttons, they are all hand made ceramic buttons.

Loving to collect things, I couldn't resist at least a photo. Colorful, playful, and waiting to be sewn to something were all the things I thought about as I ran my fingers through this assortment. To learn more about them and their uniqueness visit her web site at www.pushingmybuttons.etsy.com. Julie Kinney is the creator--I am just an admirer, the photographer and a lover of buttons.

Kitchen Window Looks Complete

The homeowners have a view from every side of their home. It is beautiful. Not much needs to be said or done when it comes to making these windows look great. You enjoy the view so much, I think you might not even see the treatments. However, I was asked to do the treatments for this home. My son actually built this home. It was a great project and the attention to detail is what makes this home stand out above the rest. This is the kitchen window. I kept the treatment simple as you can see. Bold fabric, beaded trim, slight scallop all on tension rod. Breakfast room has two french doors in the bay that walks out to the patio. Using the same fabric on black rods I made sure not to cover up the view in any way. It was just perfect for the space.

Pink and Polka Dots

The French doors to this little girl's bedroom are lightly covered with sheer white dotted Swiss fabric. This creates a semi-private feel. The girls are only 2 and 3 years old. So parents peeking in once in a while is expected. This room had two windows that balloon shades on a tension rod were installed. Some sheer dotted Swiss panels were added to again create privacy for the girls. The tie backs on the french doors were one of the stripes from the fabric turned and fastened in place. Over each bed a flowered corona was placed and sheer dotted Swiss panels and valance were hung. Each girl sleeps in a big girl bed and feels like a princess. The chandelier is pink and clear crystals. Adorable!
