JuBella.com – Get Your Creative Dose

I picked up the February edition of Better Homes & Gardens a while back and this space jumped out at me for many reasons. I think that the built in bookshelf is fantastic! We have two open spaces on both sides of our fireplace in which we plan to install built ins! yay! The rich hardwood floors are a dream. I cannot wait until we have hardwood floors on our lower level! Carpet + toddlers = evil! I also love the “rustic” aqua/turquoise coffee table along with the deep green and clear aqua vases. This space screams “ultra beach cottage” in my opinion, and feels very open, playful, and relaxed! This pic also has me daydreaming of us ripping out the god awful granite around our fireplace. Oh how I hate it! Brick, Slate/Stones…yes, but marble nor granite should ever be around a fireplace. It never fails to make me think of a tombstone…lol. We plan to redo ours with brick veneers one day!

Ugh! This couch screams “come take a nap on me after you have sipped a warm cup of lemon and honey tea with almond biscotti while flipping through your favorite design magazine or browsing through your favorite design/craft blog”. I LOVE this couch..does anyone have any idea of the designer or the style? I think the color is gorgeous and would go with so many accents, especially a nice deep navy blue & it looks oh so comfy!

I’m back everybody! Well, how was your holiday? I am sure we are all ready for the new year to come as there are so many creative endeavors that I want to sink my heart in! The little one & I spent some time making paper snowflakes for our tree and gingerbread houses and gingerbread men, and we spent a lovely two days celebrating Christmas with my parents in Atlanta. I am super excited because over my little break I managed to finally obtain a cookie press, some bamboo knitting needles, a few quality paintbrushes, and a few yards of white cotton fabric to practice some hand printing! The baby in the belly seems to be doing just fine thus far, I go for a checkup this afternoon, and how I would love for her to just tell us the gender already!

Nevertheless, to make up for my m.i.a moments I thought I would share a pretty spectacular portfolio of the fabulous design firm Sixx Design! Enjoy!
