Decorating Divas Group

I love to decorate, even though lately I do not trust any of my decisions, lol. I guess when I was younger, I was more like, "If it doesn't turn out, I can always change it." But now, I want to re-do something and then not have to re-do it for a long, long time, lol. Well, at least not until it starts to get stale as an avacado refrigerator

I just re-did my teen son's room, here are the pics from my favorite decorating site, HGTV Rate My Space:

Which I totally stole from another RMSer, although, I did have to improvise here and there, so I guess I still have some creativity left in me, lol.

Please share any of your favorite sites and pics, too.

I still have so much to do in this house...never ending!

OLS thread on my son's room:

His room looks great, good job!

Just yesterday I started to search for decorating blogs. I found a couple, but I think I will keep looking. So if you know any let me know. I like that site you posted, I need some decorating help.

I dont know how to decorate my hallway. One side of it has silver framed family pics, the other I was going to put black framed family pics. But I am thinking that will look stupid, I also like wood color frames, I need to know how to use them all together with out it looking terrible. Any ideas?

Hi, guys, thanks for the invite.

I have a few fave design and decor blogs that I frequent. I will post them here when I'm feeling a bit better.

I love love love decorating. My house is far from complete but I love the whole process of picking stuff out.

Love your ds's room.

Thanks for starting this group FaygoPop. I'm in


Just got bit by the decorating bug. It took me a long time to give myself permission to even think of decorating in any manner.

Right now one of my favorite sites is Nesting Place http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/
I am addicted to window mistreatments.
Great, cheap, easy way to give a room a liitle zippy.

Is this the site you posted: http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/

Looks great! I love the 2 shutters she has painted, tilted sideways, and then a plaque over it....as a huge wall hanging over her sofa! What a great idea, now I need old shutters! lol

Yes, thats the site. Thanks for fixing the link.

I LOVE this site, I could probably spend all day here...I love her ideas and the colors...now I want to re-do everything in my house, lol, not good....

Where's a good place to buy fabric? After looking at her website, I have the uumph to make my own slipcovers for my kitchen chairs...will be much cheaper than a whole new kitchen set, that's for sure. I need at minimum 24 x 30 inch squares, 4 of them. Cool, another obsession for me to work on....lol

LOL! Cool, another Nester addict. Muahahaha!

<peers into magic 8 ball.>I see in your future other than fabric. Lots of curtain rings clips in various colors. And a room painted in Tobacco Road.

JoAnn's Fabric seems to have great prices and a huge selection of fabric.
Michaels I think had fabric too.
Hobby Lobby.

Any quilting store or sewing center should have some good stuf, and prices to boot.

EAF, I don't know whether to THANK you or CURSE you...I am addicted to her blog now, lol!!!
