I have a really hard time getting inspired during the winter time. I guess I get the winter blues really bad. I have a hard time getting up and functioning. So I spend alot of time looking through blogs, magazines and books, trying to find something to inspire me to do something! Today i found some of the prettiest ideas for cottage decorating on Artsy mamas blog. Here is a link:

I love the use of chenille, and the sweet banners over her childs curtains. Makes me wanna go home and decorate! Who are some of your favorite blog artists? I was reading on artsymamas blog about Sommerset magazine. I've never looked at it, but her blog about it makes me wanna go find a current issue! Do any of you read it regularly?  What do you do when you have the blues to get yourself inspired?

I found the cutest ever vintage wallpaper recently and was able to purchase a large roll of it. Our guest bath has this awful 1980s blue and mauve wallpaper, and I'm dying to tear and down and replace it with this:

After I got my wallpaper, I found this on ebay (hint its the dutch tin) The girls on it match the wallpaper!

So I'm decorating with a dutch flower garden theme in there. Here are just a few things I have to decorate with.

These are hanging on the wall outside of the bathroom. Lots of vintage aprons!
