Pottery Barn or Target?

Sometimes I feel like I change my daughter's room around as often as I change my underwear?!?! (kidding)  

She has so much stuff that I'm always trying to organize it so it doesn't look cluttered.  
I've posted about her room on several occasions. 

We look at the Pottery Barn Teen catalog every month.  It's great eye candy for me her.  
This is her latest favorite room from PB.

This is our version below.

I tried to recreate the PB room with her Target (mom assembled) bookshelves.  

It's great storage that she can get to easily which makes her happy, and some of 
it is actually hidden from sight which makes mom happy!
My fingers are crossed that this arrangement will last for awhile.

Thanks ladies for hosting such fun parties!

A Week of Spring in the NW

After several weeks of rain, this is what the weather is looking like this week in the NW...

It may still seem a little cool to most, but I'll take it!  You'd be surprised how good the sun
feels on your face after so many days of rain/clouds.  

Enjoy the week all you Northwesterners!
(and everybody else too :)

Inspiration for a young girl ~

Have you ever seen the large cardboard letters at Joann's?  I've walked by them many
times and thought, "I bet my daughter would love a big E for her room."  I finally bought
her one and started covering it with old scrapbook paper with inspirational thoughts.

 
 This is a good one!  So true.


 
 My hope is that on days when she's laying in her bed daydreaming, these thoughts will resonate with her :)



 Have a great weekend.  
Hope we all get to do a little daydreaming!
