Today I decided to explore one of my local parks. Besides the natural beauty, I noticed this totem pole in the same area. I really like totem poles, and thought this one was really interesting. I enjoy looking at this piece of art and trying to decide what each figure on the pole is. Since totem poles are made up of multiple figures, it would be easy to take pictures of each one and display them separately. Something like this would be a great gift to someone who is a fan of totem poles or Native art. You would be giving a unique and personal gift that not many could replicate. Nothing is better than giving a gift that was both a joy to create, and that will be enjoyed by the receiver!

Shower Curtain Art
Many would argue that one of the hardest places to decorate is a bathroom. Most are small, windowless, and seem to offer little in the way of decorating. However, a great piece of inspiration can be your very own shower curtain! My shower curtain (right) is a great example. It features butterflies in multiple colors along with various types of foliage. To begin your design project, start by taking pictures of each individual element in the curtain, such as each butterfly and sections of the foliage. Once you’re done, frame each photo and hang them on the wall(s). You can display all the photos at once, or swap them out every few months to give the bathroom a fresh look. This same project would also work for those of you with geometric patterned shower curtains. Remember, it’s often what’s around you that can provide the best inspiration for your space!
The Carnation
To the right is another flower that was part of the bouquet mentioned in my previous post. I love the pink and cream color of this carnation! This flower inspires me to create a pink and white color scheme. Adding these colors can be done several ways depending on how intense you want the look to be. You can add pink and cream accent walls to a room for a bold punch of color, or simply add accessories. A lamp, throw, or ottoman in a pink and cream pattern will give you that pop of color without overwhelming the space. And remember, since it’s back to school time you can find great deals on accessories at your local big box stores. Now’s the perfect time to get great accessories at great prices!
