Cheerful Sunflower Kitchen Decor

Recently I created a few sunflower designs for a customer. She bought what she needed and I really liked the color combination of yellow, white and blue so I created additional collections using a watercolor illustrated sunflower. The sunflower and navy blue collection will complement a traditional home or a lake house beautifully.

Many people decorate with sunflowers in the summer. When the flower starts to bloom in late June and early July they will add the fresh-cut sunflowers to their kitchen and dining room by setting a bouquet of flowers in a vase in the center of their table.

Here are a few of my sunflower designs. Pop up your decor with home accessories that feature a cheerful sunflower print. This collection also offers clothing for her, kids, and a variety of coordinating accessories, gifts, and cards.

Everything Sunflowers

You do not have to wait for summer to decorate. I find that this cheerful flower that is the color of the sun will add warmth to your kitchen on a cold winter day.

In the winter months I will add silk sunflowers to a vase and will decorate your kitchen with sunflower print table runners, plates, dish towels and coffeemugs.

By adding sunflower decorations to my kitchen is a good way to bring the summer garden indoors. When there is a foot of snow on the ground and the temperature is in the single digits it is nice to see the pretty sunflower decorations in the kitchen.

Tween Girls Bedroom Decor Ideas

When planning a tween girls bedroom it is best to make it interesting by adding texture and color. A tween will spend more time in their bedroom than any other room in the home so it is important to add décor that appeals to her taste.

Choose a bedroom for a tween girl (age 8 to 12) that is large enough to accommodate her needs; sleeping, study area, large closet, area to dress with full-length mirror, a sitting area and windows for natural light. Also, consider a bedroom large enough to accommodate friends for slumber parties and sleepovers.

A room with a view is always better than a room with a window that opens to the side of another house. You would want to create a cozy sitting area with lofty throw pillows next to a window that opens up to a view. Your tween girl will sit by this window when she is talking on the phone, studying or daydreaming.

Here are some bedroom decorations that were designed for a tween girl.

Wall decor paint verses wallpaper

Consider paint rather than wallpaper because you can easily change the paint color but wallpaper is permanent. Wallpapers may look wonderful but a tween girl may grow tired of the look. You can always accent the walls by painting a feature primary color wall and then hang posters or install a wall decal.

Here are some posters for tween girls bedrooms

Pink Tulip Decorations for Bedroom

After a long and cold winter, it is nice to update your bedroom with pretty pink floral pillows, bed linens, and a new poster for the wall.

When it comes to decorating for the spring season I like to bring the tulip garden indoors. A vase of pink tulips on the bedside table always looks so pretty. Fresh flowers are a great way to add warmth and coziness to your bedroom.

Here are a few pink tulip throw pillows for your bed.

It does not matter if your bedroom set is dark or light wood. Modern or a classic design you can always add floral prints to your décor. For a spring pastel color theme, I would suggest that you remove all dark colors from your bedroom and if your walls are painted a dark color you should update them with a pastel color or green, yellow, pink, beige, or white as they would be complementary to spring pink tulip product designs.

Shop for a duvet cover that would compliment your spring tulip bedroom theme. And buy sheets and pillowcases that would also go with your pretty spring floral look.

Painting is an easy way to update the look of any room. You can paint three of your walls a neutral beige or white, then the feature wall where your bed's headboard is located you could paint your pastel color. This would be the feature wall. On this wall, you would hang your tulip poster or canvas print.

Here are some tulip wall art designs.

Pretty Spring Pattern Fleece Blankets

Your family and pets will appreciate the warmth and the coziness of a spring season fleece blanket. The spring season can be chilly and when nights are cold it's a good idea to have a spring fleece blanket on your sofa and your bed.

It is also a good idea to have a basket of blanket for your family and friends to use while sitting outdoors. We all enjoy sitting by the firepit on a spring night but if it is cool, it is cozier wrapped in a fleece blanket.

There are many fleece blanket that comes in solid pastel colors and a few generic prints at the mall shops but I found that the prints at Zazzle.com are fabulous. Zazzle offers a variety of spring patterns to choose from all have been created by an independent designer.

I have bought fleece blankets at Zazzle for my nieces and they both remarked at how luxurious they were and that the fleece was very soft. My one niece has had her blanket for three years and I saw it a few months ago draped over the backside of her sofa and this blanket looked new. The colors in the floral pattern never faced and the blanket had a cozy feel.

Zazzle offers three blanket sizes to choose from; small medium and large. Shop for the size blanket that fits your needs. I bought the medium size for my nieces and they told me that it looks nice on their twin-sized bed. They use it on top of their solid color comforter because they love the floral pattern.

So if you want to update your space for the spring season then buy a pattern fleece blanket from Zazzle.com.

Here are a few of my favorite blankets. If you see a blanket that you like then click on the highlighted words below the image. This link will take you to the designer's store where you can view a larger image, add customize the blanket to fit your needs.
