Guest Post: A Delightful Design!!!

Get ready for some fun with color! Abby's seriously fun blog, A Delightful Design, is actually a new read for me, but I let me just tell you, I was missing out!!! I'm never disappointed by all the new little gems that I find there. I took one look at her stinkin' cute family room and was immediately impressed!

You will see what I mean...(c:

Hi! I'm Abby from A Delightful Design and I am so excited to be part of Aubrey's series on what makes my house a home. Let's jump in!

What makes our house a home is that I have used what I love.

I married a banker who would save every penny he earns and live out of crates. Truly, he said that! So I've learned to look for a bargain and push for the things I love.

The white bird was $2 and the ginger jar lamp was $6.00! The mirror and table were inherited so I made it my own by painting the mirror white. I'm still considering painting the sideboard as well.

This is my favorite corner of our house. This is a perfect example of buying what you love and it magically works together. I found that huge, original painting at a thrift store for $20.

(Aubrey: What? You thought I could be quiet? Why break with tradition? Besides, OH MY GOSH how great are those pillows??? And the colors in that painting are oh so amazing...)

Color and pattern make me happy. I want my boys and guests to feel comfortable yet special when they are in our house and pattern is one way I do that.

I love wallpaper! Seeing this pattern in the morning makes waking up just a bit easier. When I told friends I was installing wallpaper I think they thought I was crazy but once they saw it they loved it. Don't forget that it's YOUR house and YOUR home--use what you love.

(Aubrey: All I have to say is AMEN sister, amen. And I love me some toile wallpaper...)

This yellow sofa has such a history. You can't tell from this picture but it has seen its day! This was our first big purchase when we got married and I was so excited to choose the fabrics. Again, I think my friends thought it was "interesting" to buy a yellow sofa but we have loved every minute of it.

It's not your house but how you live that makes your house a home!

I hope you are surrounded with fabrics and pieces that bring you delight.

A huge thank you to Aubrey for hosting this series! I can't wait to hear more from her and watch All Things Bright and Beautiful grow.

Abby

Thanks so much Abby for showing off that amazing style of yours! After seeing her fabulous yellow cheveron striped pillows, I was seriously re-thinking going with blue ones...(c: If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting A Delightful Design...your life just isn't complete...(c:
