the baby girls in our lives should look as precious as they are sweet!
dressing up those precious peas is too much fun...so here's some super fab finds for spring for our little peas!

well, i think the picture says pretty much everything...a precious pea dressed in a little bunny tutu and bunny ears headband is just about as cute as it gets. the fab set is $28.50 from laurie's tutu boutique or on her website HERE.
laurie also has more gorgeous things available on her website HERE...like this totally gorgeous angel floral halo for only $12.50! i see portraits in this precious halo!
caterpillars are a sign of spring, right? and i know your little girlie munchkins in your life would love these cuties for their hair!!! one of our fav little shops, mia bambina couture, has these super cute caterpillar hair clippies! and can i just say, "oh my word"!!

there is some uber ruffle-ness going on in this little princess bag! the color and the patterns just shout out spring and your little darlings will jump for joy when they see this perfect easter gift as their basket! this ruffle drawstring purse is handmade by polliwog designs on etsy. and because she is so fab, she is offering PCAH readers a 10% discount on any purchases {that will be refunded through paypal after the transaction is complete}. make sure to mention you came from PCAH and the feature in your comments to get the discount! you want something custom made? see www.polliwogdesigns.com for more options. and you want more deals... you are so needy!  not really...but become a fan on facebook of polliwog designs and get new discounts and sales all the time!
are you feeling the love in that bag or what? well, here's what got it all started...
"After having my 3rd daughter in November 2009 (she's 3 months old now!)... I decided I was not going back to work for a while... Daycare costs are too high, and I need to be with my girls. Thankfully, my husband has a decent job and we were able to swing it... barely.
I started Polliwog Designs in January, so pretty new! Polliwog is my baby's nickname (her name is Molly). Basically, I needed to make a little extra income, and be able to stay with my angels... VOILA!
I can honestly say that my mental health has NEVER been better. I really, truly LOVE making everything I do. I have so many idea's and things I still want to do... I have drawings and lists ALL over the place... my house is SUCH a MESS! I have boxes and boxes of supplies, half completed projects... all over the place. It's like... my brain just doesn't know what to do... CRAFTAPALOOZA ADD!!!"

can you say precious??? well, these ostrich puff feathers and bow headband from the pampered princess shout precious...and shout it loud! oh my word! and with easter being just around the corner, your precious baby girl peas MUST have this headband. my sofia just might be sporting one for sure! are you ready for this...they are only $8.99!! and if pink isn't your color, look around, there's a whole lot more where this one came from!

{Easy & Refreshing Spring Updates}

Oh.for.the.love.of.Spring! I don't know about you, but every time Spring time draws near I feel a restlessness come on. My poor husband. I create lists of ideas for projects, I want to rearrange furniture, I want to paint and add color....oh the options are endless!


So for my first post here at Project {Create A Home} I thought I would share some lovely pictures and ideas for realistic updates. I try to keep things real. Don't get me wrong though, I'd love do some big fancy re-do but do I have the time or the budget? Hmmm, I'm not thinkin' so. ;D


Here are a few fun things to get your Spring time project lists going...



I love color. I'm working at incorporating more of it into my home. Do you have any current pieces that serve a great purpose but have grown a little boring? Just pick a fun paint color and Voila! You have a brand new piece.



When I came across this idea I literally gasped and thought "why have I not thought of that?" And while I'm not going to run and do this to my dining room chairs, I thought it would be a perfect update for our play table & chairs. Too much fun!



I am on the hunt for an ornate mirror like this for my bedroom. I love the idea of painting it a fun punchy color and then making it serve a purpose like a pin board or chalk board.



I have this exact chandelier in my dining room - standard builder grade. How cool to spice it up with a little stencil and paint! It wouldn't even take terribly long to do and would add a pizazz to a borderline boring fixture.


All of the {gorgeous photos} featured are from Better Homes & Gardens. Aren't they just the best? You can click here to get all of the juicy details on how to accomplish all of the projects I mentions. I feel refreshed after just talking about all of these fun projects! So as I get my project list together and figure out which new paint I need and which piece of furniture will be my next victim, what will you be doing? Have any new update plans for Spring?


Make today a great day ya'll! If you want to come on over to my personal blog for a visit, please do!


Kacey R.
