Juicefairy Likes Young House Love

Obviously, as you can see from my blog, I have been spending a lot of my creative energy lately decorating my new home. My Dad says I am in one of my “creative frenzies”, which sounds about right. Mr. Juicefary says I am in “spend mode”, which also sounds about right.
In my search for inspiration I stumbled onto my now fave decorating blog called Young House Love. The writers are a young couple, Sherry and John, who have an older renovated home and a newborn baby. They have done such a great job decorating their space creating a cozy and calming environment.
You should check out pics of the new office space/guest bedroom they have been working on. Looks great!

Anthropologie Hardware Porn
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Anthropologie hardware. It is delicate and beautiful, unique and charming. I have always wanted to utilize it somewhere in my house but I could never find just the right place for it.
A little Anthropologie hardware love …

The former owner of my house added a gas fireplace flanked by two window seats. Under the window seats are glass windowed cabinets for electronics. Formerly the window seats were covered in a dark green cushion and had these knobs on the cabinets …

A white ceramic button knob. Not cute. And they were so big they just seemed to scream, “Look at my knob-ugliness!” So I went and bought these babies …

Be still my heart! They are so pretty! Mr. Juicefairy usually fights tooth and nail to keep me from “girl-i-fying” his home. But he didn’t bother fighting against these knobs because he saw how happy they made me.

They look great on the newly painted doors. I want you to see the new pretty window seat cushions too. Stay tuned!

Counter-Clockwise

I would like to thank the one commenter that gave me their opinion on which clock to get for my bathroom. I was also favoring the “spike” clock from Chiasso. Unfortunately after showing Mr. Juicefairy, he concluded that he could “only live” with this Crate and Barrel clock. I am sure the fact that it was on sale and only $13 had nothing to do with it (that was sarcasm). I did like the Crate & Barrel clock as well though so I went for it. It is nice and clean and easy to read so I am happy with it.

I Heart TJ Maxx
TJ Maxx is my new favorite store. I happened to stop in there a couple of months ago and see what great home decor items they have. Pillows, home organization, cookware, bedding, lamps … it was a goldmine of things I needed for the new house at a price that was right.
I have been going to TJ Maxx once a week to scour the new lamps they get in. There were a lot that I liked, that I knew would fit in with the decor, but nothing that “wowed” me. Then a few weeks ago I found these beauties for a steal.
My new living room lamp $49.99 …
I know the room is mostly blues and this green lovely isn’t the perfect color match, but I loved her so much I had to have her. It makes me happy to look at.
Then I got these two for the bed side tables $39 …
(Sorry the picture isn’t perfect. I just have thin shades on those windows right now so it was a bit bright.) I think these lamps add just the right amount of glamor that my traditional bedroom needs.
Of course I have a long way to go before things are truly prefect but at least this is a nice start.

Pretty Patio Planter Holder

I caught an eyeful of this pretty pot hanger over at Mint and I keep going back to the image thinking how pretty it would be on a back porch. This pot hanger by insitu starts at $175, but only holds 5 pots at this price (and this price does not include the pots) but I think a DIY version could be made simply enough.
Maybe using this maze wall hanging from CB2 for $49.95 …

with these colorful little pots from IKEA, $1.99 each …
I wish I could convince someone to try this project!
