album sale & texture

A thoughtful fellow blog-reader wanted to pass along a shopping tip to those of you who are looking to get some of those albums that I use (mentioned in my last post). RitzCamera.com has them on sale right now and you can click here to take you right to the albums. The ones I use are called “We R Memory Keepers 12×12 Faux Leather 3-Ring Binder”. Thanks, Alexx!

Going back to home decor for a minute, I wanted to share a few areas of “texture” in our home. Adding texture can really make a difference. These textured balls sit in a hand-carved wood bowl we picked up in South Africa a few years ago. The balls are from Razmataz, which is a local store here in AZ.

This is a corner on our kitchen counter, and where we store our bread. Picked up this little number (the lid comes off, if you can’t tell) at Razmataz as well.

And this is a gathering spot inside the garage door. We don’t have a mud room, but we hang a few things on this pretty hook piece (got this so long ago, maybe from World Market? Not sure.). The textured star is from Real Deals.

I got a handful of those stars, in bigger sizes, for the boys’ room too. (Crew’s crib is tucked to the right; you just can’t see it in this picture.) And they were really inexpensive — $15 for the largest one.

Bedding from Target (not even sure it’s available anymore though?)
Wall color is Cloud Burst (490F-5), Behr brand @ The Home Depot
Chairs & ottomans from Creative Leather
Bed from eBay (got it several years ago)

(I know someone’s going to ask.) : )

    I read a report that four million pixel digital camera is enough to use, and pixels high is that we can illuminate a large picture, but generally we can not take such a big picture, I think that will depend on the optical zoom digital camera, According to the optical zoom could clear the distant object, behaves digital zoom, digital zoom, picture clarity at the expense of the cost.

    Hi!
    I love the color of your boys room. We are currently decorating my little boys room and we choose that Cloud Burst color. My husband just got the paint, but he says that it looks more on the gray side than blue. Did this happened to you too? Will it have that nice “blue” color once is on the wall?

    Thank you

    ps, love your blog
