phew-playing catch up

hey everybody!

okay before i forget-a lot of you asked what type of flowers i had. they are called ranunculus. you can click here to find out more about them. they are easily my favorite flower. love the color combos.

i also took a photo of the setup at the top of my stairs for those that asked and emailed. i purchased the shelves from aaron brothers agers ago. some oldies but goodies for the photos. found the jars in various places. i recently filled them with goodies. one has tickets in it-from movies/concerts. one has wine bottle corks from special dinners. i write the date on them. one has my favorite candles in the world (that pier one no longer makes) so they are being horded. one has my favorite incense.

also took a photo of the window ledge in my front room. i found the clipboards at a scrapbook store-they are 12×12, but i dont know who makes them.

those are honestly the only interesting photo groupings i have in my house at the moment. we had our bedrooms painted so everything is off the wall and im not sure what im going to do yet in our rooms.

so…back to work.

jennifer s had a great idea! if you have a cool idea for displaying photos in your home, take a pic, post it somewhere and link it in the comments so you can inspire us all!

  2. I love it! I am trying to figure out some intersting ideas for displaying photos…maybe you could have people post a link to photos of how they have their photos displayed in the comments area??? I have a couple cool ways that I have some of mine displayed and I would love to share the photos with your readers…and I would love to see what others have done.

  4. Sooooooo HAPPY to see you back, Miss Tara :)
    Not only your images inspire me TONS, but also those dang AWESOME ideas for your interior…WOW…You´re such a CREATIVE gal and make me be in awe of you and your numerous talents daily :)

    Hope you´re feeling better already *sends hugs*

  5. Love the jar idea! Yes.. I like many others will be borrowing that one!

    We dont drink but I think I might write a note about a special day and add them to a jar. :) Circular scrapping?

    My previous studio had HUGE blank walls, and as I was leasing I couldn’t add any shelves. Instead I bought the largest canvases I could fit in the car and covered them in fabric. Then I attached some of my favorite prints (11 x 16s down to 6 x 4s) I then popped the canvas up on the desk and leant it up the wall.

    I have a smaller one on the other packing desk.. Cheap.. easy and easily changed.
    We have just moved – So as soon as I find a new home for them I will post pics..

  6. I just found your blog and WOW! Your pictures are amazing. How do you get them to look so bright? Do you use a certain lens or do you work with them in a photo program? If you would be so kind as to share some tips I would appreciate it! I am a digi-scrapper and would love to make photo’s of my 3 girls look great! Thanks

  7. i love seeing inside your house. it make me feel like i’m there even though i live so far away now. :) i’ve always loved those clipboards and wanted to get some but there is’t a place in my new house…well i guess there is, i would just have to hang them…hmmmm not a bad idea. love you

  8. Thanks, Tara, for inviting us to post our stuff. I’ve used IKEA’s various-sized “Clips” frames thoughout my house in conjunction with traditional gilded frames. Here are a few examples:

  9. Thought it was time I came out of the woodwork after almost a year. “Hi, my name is Julie and I’m a lurker”.

    Thank you for sharing so much of your yourself and your style with us that are lacking. You’re very inspiring in a lot of ways.

    Hope you’re feeling better.

  10. those candles wouldn’t happen to be the yummy patchouli scented ones would they??

    i miss those…. wish i would have had the smarts to hoard me some!!

  11. Some years ago, I remember seeing a border right around a room with all different photo frames lined up – some filled and some empty. I was sure it was your dining room? If it is, could you share a photo again? I remember thinking it was fab, but I’ve never been able to find the photo again.

  12. Hi Tara,

    I loved reading these questions/responses. Fun! If you liked Garden State, you should check out Last Kiss, the newer movie Zack Braff directed. Really good. Watched it on an airplane and totally cried. Embarassing, but I’m recommending the movie anyway. :)
