We've Moved

Goodbye Blogger, hello Squarespace (and our own .com!) Find us at www.shutterlylovely.com

A is for Apple

I just love these alphabet prints by Paper Fingers.

The simplicity and the colors are wonderful. I think they would look great hanging on a wall as an alternative to a monogram or displayed in a baby's room (not that that applies to me).

Unexpected Inspiration

The guest room has been one of those rooms that we "started on" by painting about 6 months ago, but it hasn't really received much attention...until now.

Here's what it looked like when we moved in.

As you might remember, we quickly painted the room a light aqua (Sea Turtle by Kilz).

But as you can see, it's pretty bare. I really like the wall color but had no idea what sort of color scheme I wanted to go with. Then, the other day I found an image while reading through my blog list and found exactly what I needed for inspiration.

I have to make the disclaimer that I quickly copied the photo to my desktop without taking note of where it was from and after searching I've come up empty handed as to where I found it. Please leave a comment if you know where it's from.

Now, on to the inspiration talk. I felt like this is the direction the guest room is headed. Here's what I'm thinking:

-sheepskin rug from Ikea

-rich brown comforter

-brown curtains

-glass lamp

-green accents

So that's what I'll be keeping my eyes out for when I'm out and about. Stay tuned for updates on progress!

So. Pretty.

Sometimes I get crushes on wood decor and this time these two beauties had me at hello.

Valentine Cards!

Well, I finally started up my etsy shop, Kayak Paper Co. Right now I have three printable valentines listed, but I'm working on adding other items as well. Eventually I'll add more greeting cards, wedding invites and wedding/baby shower items. But for now, here are the new valentines:

Getting connected

I finally joined the app community. I got an iPod touch and so far I love it. I'm hoping this will help organize some things. That is one of my goals for 2010. I also need to get more sleep!

By the Fireside

Yesterday the Christmas decorations went down and the house needs something to make it a little more cozy. We have a wood burning fireplace, which is wonderful, but sometimes we don't want to take the time to build a fire. I've been wanting to get some candles for the fireplace for those nights we want a little glow. So I decided to see what others have done. Here's the roundup:
