It has been a long time since creative juices pumped through my veins, but a last minute (2 weeks before) bridal shower party at my house got it going. The "lingerie" party theme had me going with a pink and brown theme since the bride's wedding colors were green and brown. But what to do about my very traditional, somewhat Tuscan- inspired, great room??? How about finding a DOLLAR a yard satin fabric and tacking it (yes, with push pins and you can't see a hole on the wall after) to the wall? The hot pink fabric and the brown animal print panel were a little more pricey, but definitely didn't break the bank.

And a few pillow and tabletop accessories later:
And it never hurts to tie some lace trim on the paper lanterns and hang them over the kitchen island:
A whole lot of fun, this decorating thing!
first of all, there are several other words that come to mind when i think of decorating and 'fun' is NOT at the top of my list! but you, my dear, have such a knack for it, and i love seeing how you transformed those rooms to host an amazing baby shower on such short notice. i need you to move to portland, pronto!!
