CLH Blog Updates

I'm in the process of updating the CLH's blog pages { About, House Tour & DIY Projects } I want to make CLH more 'user friendly' so easy its to find DIY Projects and our Home Tour is up to date. I'm really looking forward to spending some major Q.T. (quality time) with the DIY Projects page, I never really dug the layout.

I already starting updating our House Tour, with new pictures check it out here! On our home page, I've added a few new buttons: You can now Subscribe via email to CLH, You can follow me on Twitter & friend me on Facebook. Under 'Blog Archinve' I added new feature that lists the top Three Popular CLH Posts each week. I'm also adding a blog page, all about Baby Stuff. I get a ton of emails from lovely readers asking about what baby stuff I love, so I thought I would add a page!

I am also thinking about adding a Craft & Sewing Page, so these projects can easliy be found instead of looking at DIY Projects which to me is more about home projects (decor, painting, re-finishing furniture etc)

In addition we also want to update our CLH picture, with a new one. We took these pictures just the other day in front of our house, thank goodness for tripods & timers.  I'm sure our neighbors were wondering what we were up to :)  We can't decide between these three pictures, so please help us out!!

Avery's Three Month Birthday Photo

Wow two posts in one day! I'm patting myself on the back as you read this.....lol

We decided to take a monthly birthday photo of Avery for the next two years, the photos will be turned into a book. That way we can virtually watch him grow up. Every photo will take place in his nursery, nothing planned just him hanging out.

Avery Three Months

I loved how his three month old photo shoot { with me } turned out. I just had to share more than one picture! 

Watercolor

I've always loved how pretty watercolor paintings are. They are simple, fresh and lovely. I loved water color even more when I saw them recently pop up on pillows. Water color pillows are truly pretty. Have you seem the ones from West Elm? And the ones below it, also so pretty.

Then I came across pretty watercolor vases. These vases look pretty alone or group together. I'm so trying this look for our dining room table.

In the meantime I wanted to add a touch of watercolor artworkk to our living room. I just used some very basic water colors and painted abstract squares in saturated colors. I was really inspired by the West Elm pillows. If I get better, I'm so upgrading to better watercolor paints. But for now this little 5x7 painting works. I placed it in a simple silver frame.

I'm not sure where this will land permanently. A few days ago it was on our Secretary Desk. The desk is now in the process of being refinished, but here's glimpses how it looked in our living room.

I like the color it adds, so simple. I love creating simple diy artwok for my home.

Do you DIY your own art?  If yes, what did you create?



Distractions

I've been  a little distracted this week when it comes to blogging. It's mostly due to the little guy, and working on some house projects.
