Relatable Whimsy

Functional, Cute, and Decorative Pieces

If there’s anything I can’t get enough of when it comes to home accessories, it’s the need to incorporate whimsical decorative or serving pieces. These decorative and functional items add a lot of personality to your home and invoke a feeling of playfulness and joy. The lizard dip bowls can be used, not only for dipping snacks into, but as tea light holders for a decorative lighting ambiance. I should add that the frog I’ve featured is, also, a measuring tape that can be retrieved and retracted by its little tongue. Whether these items express your individuality or sum up your experiences, the sentiment they create is undeniably unique and lasting. They can spark up a conversation that can take you back to your childhood, travels, or other memorable moments.

These lizards are adorable and remind me of my earlier years when I was a child living in Puerto Rico. Lizards are everywhere on the island and one never tires of seeing them. They are the cutest creatures and it’s not rare to find one just hanging around stuck to the wall staring back at you. So collect as many whimsical pieces as you can and spread them throughout the house because, I promise that when least expected, they will make your day.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and it’s the official commencement day of my blog. I guess I should be feeling lucky that I will be able to achieve the goals I’ve set out to accomplish in helping my new friends (that’s YOU) with inspiring ideas in their everyday life.
I’ve chosen this picture of my breakfast nook today because it is green and because it makes me happy being that it’s such a cheery space. I’ve kept the decor simple because I believe that the main statement should be attributed to the outside view which features the woods in my backyard. Hopefully, you have a cheery space of your own where you can sit back and relax with a nice cup of coffee or tea.

 

 

Hello!

Welcome to My Home

     I’m Shirley and I’m excited to start this blog. I’d been contemplating sharing my ideas for about two years and I finally decided to take the first step. As an interior decorator, I enjoy teaching my clients some decor tricks to make their homes more inviting and I hope I can do the same for you too. If you’d like to find out more about me, you may read the “about me” section.

     I chose to feature this photo of my living room first because it encompasses my style best. It’s a serene and welcoming space with a lot of character. One of my favorite details in this room is the “love life” pillow. I purchased it two years ago at Pottery Barn and I often incorporate it in my living room decor because the message is great and it makes me smile.
