Art hangin on Bookshelves?

We have tons of books at Casa Lewis but we also have tons of art with not that much wall space. My solution, hang it on the bookshelves. What do you think?

Kitchen island lighting fixtures

Choosing the most suitable lighting fixture for your kitchen island isn’t always that evident. There is a lot of choice of different kinds of fixtures, as lanterns, glass and shades pendants, industrial pendants, chandeliers. Passed weekend I was searching for an island fixture to hang above the kitchen island of one of my clients and I realized that there are quite a lot of possibilities to add the most beautiful lighting into your kitchen. Depending of course of the design style of your kitchen. Either you have a rustic or industrial styled kitchen, a contemporary or a more traditional styled kitchen, you will always find that fixture that fits your style.

I posted some images of kitchen island fixtures to inspire you to make your best choice.

Enjoy!

Again chandeliers hanging in pair. Isn’t that chic? The contrast between the black cristal chandeliers and the white kitchen is so beautiful.

1 room 2 ways: Danielle Oakey Interiors!

I love a blogging Momma! Especially a Momma who has an awesome interior decorating biz with a super sense of style. If you haven't popped over to Danielle Oakey Interiors you better go head on over. There is tons of eye candy and her DIY projects are pretty great!
Without further adieu I welcome Danielle Oakey Interiors.....

I am actually in the process of re-designing my bedroom right now so this blog post could not have come at a better time. I am in the midst of doing an Ikea RAST hack for the nightstands. The white side tables you see in the first look are being sold. I love them but I am ready for a change.

First look:

I made the headboard ($76.00), yellow and blue pillows ($8.00 for both) and refinished the nightstand that I purchased from a thrift store. The round mirror is from a thrift store ($5.00), the lamp is from Home Goods ($29.99), The picture is from a thrift store ($3.00), and the mini aqua vase is from a thrift store ($2.00). The star burst mirror is from TJ Maxx on clearance for $12.00.

Second Look:

I made the headboard ($76.00), yellow pillows ($5.00) and the blue pillow is from ETSY ($20.00) The round mirror is from a thrift store ($5.00), the lamp is from Home Goods ($19.99) and I added the trim. The bird is from a thrift store ($.75) The star burst mirror is from TJ Maxx on clearance for $12.00.

I am in the process of finishing the nightstand. The pulls are in the mail so I just added these ones for the picture.

I haven't decided what my final look will be yet!

I am always changing everything.

Thanks Danielle, Can't wait to hear what every ones thoughts on there favorites are!

Camel Tassels

Hi Folks...I am desperately searching high and low to find Camel Tassels....yep, you heard me right. CAMEL TASSELS.This may sound like a strange request...unless you know me and then you are not surprised or shocked at the randomness.
After watching a recent episode of "An Idiot Abroad" when he took a trip to Egypt, I became infatuated with all the colors on the camels. Especially the particular one he rode across the Jordanian dessert to get to Petra. I could care less about the 7th wonder of the world or the great pyramids in Cairo....I wanted the CAMEL TASSELS.  I want to hang them from a chandelier or sew them on pillows or use them as tie backs for my living room curtains. Or put them on my cat so she can look prettier....

I will camel hump you if you can find me any of the following....

1} an expert in the field of camel riding
2} a professional camel tassel maker
3} a dessert dweller who herds camels across the sandy plains to entertain tourists?
or
4} a camel

Please forward me the pertinent information so that I may swindle myself some of these lovely adornments. Thank You kindly
