While actual scallops are tasty, I'm talking about the unique shape!
Wear it from head to toe or dress it up in your abode -- the scallop shape is fun, flirty and feminine!

Oh, what stellar stairs you have!
Stairs can be oh-so-daunting to go up, but they can be fun and make a bold statement if you're playful with them.
Adding word statements to your stairs definitely adds a touch of your personality and can also act as a learning tool for your kids such as counting to 15 in French! Maybe a fun idea for the back steps to the playroom?
Don't be afraid to splash your stairs with color! Whether it's on the railing or the steps -- look at how much fun and cheerfulness is brought to the room. These staircases really do become a work of art!
Love love love prints and patterns. Dressing up your stairs with black & white chevron or zebra stripes is so graphic and gives your stairs a bit of zip.

Chalk isn't just for Kids
Paint your walls with chalkboard paint and have a ball! It'll add a personal touch and create lots of fun and energy in your room. It also serves a functional purpose, too - Gotta remind yourself when that Avett Brothers concert is or what you need to buy for your picnic soiree next weekend.
Hanging a chalkboard map and marking the countries you've visited can be a conversation piece in your home and also be a fun game for the kids. Paint ordinary accessories with the paint and give them a little pizzazz! Ex, for those of you who garden, labeling ordinary or old pots will make your herbs cute and help when trying to identify the cilantro from the parsley.
Painting old furniture with chalkboard paint is an inexpensive and clever way to give it a new life.
We're excited about adding a chalkboard wall in the dining room of the Gastropub we're currently working on - we'll keep you posted as it progresses!
