Home Decor Favorites

Birds, I love birds....and I love West Elm...this bird came from West Elm...and is made entirely out of recycled paper....it sits on a shelf in our living room.

Mirrors and windows that stream in light---both of which are in abundance in this home.

Homemade items--hub's finished entry way shelf project (shortened and stained).

International flare--we both love to travel and want to do more of it. This mask was purchased in San Antonio from the Mexican Market area. There are several other items around the house from our travels.

Framed photos & art...and also all things the beach. This was taken by my eldest brother and the frame is reclaimed wood. We have several other photos taken by family and a fabulous Thailand print of a painting created by the father of a friend.

Over-sized comfortable furniture...to fit hub's 6'4" frame and double as extra twin beds if necessary. (Old photo but it works!)

Comfy furnishings via pillows, blankets, drapes, and area rugs.

Second-hand goods: the desk, the futon, the spare bed, the carved coffee table, our Ikea chair, the entertainment center, the washer/dryer, and many other goods---second hand is second good! :)

I noticed the bird and forgot to say something about it. I think it's very cute and goes nicely with all your other decor! Lots of fun decorations in your house-- it looks so good! :)
