Fresh Perspectives: For the Birds!

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011/03/for-birds.html

Friday, March 18, 2011. I am inspired today by the. The temps have creeped into the 60's the last two days here in mid-ohio and I'm thrilled! I am not enjoying waking up to darkness again. (daylight savings time changed last weekend), but the patio door has been open and the sweet sounds of. Have been keeping me smiling all day. Then, this morning, as I was doing my blog rounds, I happened onto. A cute little blog, and, what do you know, she is giving away an adorable. Lamp in honor of her 100th post!

Fresh Perspectives: Touches of Spring

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011/03/touches-of-spring.html

Monday, March 21, 2011. No, I didn't bring in a robin's nest from outside! Although I have a son who would have suggested the idea! I found this little nest when the snow was deep outside, but couldn't resist how authentic it looks! It sits by our back door on an antique phone table that was my husband's parents. I added the cast iron bunny and a vase of wispy greens. Sooo springy! Couldn't get the picture the way I wanted, but I love this every time I walk through the family room. The other large, newly...

Fresh Perspectives: Jenna's Room

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011/03/jennas-room.html

Thursday, March 10, 2011. I have no 'Before" pictures of this room. Imagine white walls, white ceiling, white carpet. New house. Absolute blank slate. These are my most favorite shades of pink and green. Apple Green and medium, clear, bubble-gummy pink. Yummy! I started with the quilt from PB kids and went from there. The drapes are fabric from a $6 sham and comforter cover set from TJ's.too silky to use the cover, so it became the drapes, (Thank you, Mom) and used the shams. The gorgeous bamboo detail.

Fresh Perspectives: Ideas

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011/03/ideas.html

Thursday, March 3, 2011. I have been loving the "turquoisy" bluey-green coloring for sometime, but was unsure how to incorporate it in my home. My favorite place in the whole world (and has been, since about age 8) has been the beach. Not exactly the Atlantic Ocean kind of beach, but where the water is the most gorgeous shade of blue-green you can imagine and where the creamy sand just melts into the azure water. This is it, right here.oh my. Ok, do you get the idea? Am I getting a little too deep here?

Fresh Perspectives: Facebook

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011/03/facebook.html

Monday, March 7, 2011. This blog is now linked to my facebook page! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is what started it all. About a year an a half ago, I wanted to chronicle our life in small town America. For me. It grew and still surprised how many people are interested in our mundane average life. So, The Fab Five is just about my five wonderful children and our ups and downs, triumphs and disasters through the wonderful journey we call life. Welcome! New Stuff, but what to do with it?

Fresh Perspectives: February 2011

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 26, 2011. I ran across this article today at StyleatHome.com. I am wanting to redo our formal living room and wanting to keep up with any new trends. I was pleasantly surprised to see a couple of these things! Use pattern in your home and use it often. Pattern is the antithesis of stuffy and boring - use it to enliven and invigorate your space. Use wallpaper. If you haven't used wallpaper already, 2011 is the time to try. Use gold. It's another metal making a strong comeback in 2011.

Fresh Perspectives: New Stuff, but what to do with it?

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-stuff-but-what-to-do-with-them.html

Tuesday, March 15, 2011. New Stuff, but what to do with it? About two weeks ago, we were out of town and had the opportunity to hit a few stores. Nothing new, mind you, except the locations. TJ. Maxx, Marshalls and Pier One. I frequent those around home, but really happened to hit the jackpot that day in new locations a state away! I'd like to share with you my finds. They are still unclean, tags still on and unsure of their future home. Looking for some inspiration and ideas. Ove the filigree and really...

Fresh Perspectives: Terrarium Transformation

http://juliesfreshperspectives.blogspot.com/2011/03/terrarium-transformation.html

Monday, March 7, 2011. So, about a month ago, I saw a decorative terrarium in a flowershop/gift shop in Amish Country here in Ohio that I thought was unique and soo cute! It was about $50 and felt sure I could go home, google it, look on Amazon, or wherever, and find it way cheaper. I started searching everywhere. Just last week, these were in my new Pottery Barn catalog. I was temporarily very excited. But it was $99 for the small one, and $249 for a large one. It just took a small amount on a rag, rubb...
