Sew4Home

-


One of my favorite websites is Sew4Home.  I’ve been following their inspirations for over two years now and they continue to come up with new projects I have to try.  Now that my lovely husband and I will be moving into a new home, it is time to prioritize the projects and showcase them.  We will need window treatments, new or rejuvenated bath linens, beautiful storage solutions and many more items that are making my head spin.
   
As of today we are choosing the paint colors for the walls.  We picked up swatches yesterday and have way too many to share at this point.  We do know that we want light colors, ones that will remind us of coastal, Mediterranean, comfortable living.

Our goal once we are done, if that is really ever a possibility :-), is to have the kick-off-your-shoes casual elegance where those who enter feel comfortable and welcome.  We will share more as the building and decorating process continues.

How did you decorate your home?  What areas gave you the most thought or concern?  What do you love about your home and why?  Please share your thoughts, as we certainly aren’t interior designers and always looking for input.

While you are creating a day that will be forever memorable, how about taking a trip down a local thrift store aisle.  Put on your DIY hat and see all the possibilities.  Thinking about things that will work during and after the wedding will save time, money, and waste.  What wedding decorations will also work in your home?  What wedding favors can also handle double duty as table decoration? Speaking of double duty and personalization, why not have your wedding party visit the thrift store with you and choose their own dress while helping you find a gown of your own.  Each dress will be unique and showcase personality as well as accentuate the positives.  These will
