Whimsical Street Scene Home Decor

Whimsical Street Scene Wall Clock
Whimsy is such a fun part of my life. I've even loved it in my home decor. So I created a whimsical street scene design that I put on a number of fun home decor items.

The wall clock I feature here is just one of those great home accessories. There are plenty more to create your own whimsical street scene home decor. Think of how fun this can look in the family room of a busy family, maybe a den, a rec room, even a charming look for your living room.

I specifically wanted many colors in this design. Many colors that are pale enough to choose great home decor color schemes from. But, the fun part is, you don't need to repaint or pick out new

furniture to be able to use these accent pieces. There are so many colors that you can keep your current color scheme and just go for new accessories.

Adding a few accessories to your home decor can change the whole effect or theme. What an easy way to create a whole new look. Besides the wall clock, try adding a decorative throw pillow or two on your couch or chair. Then accent with a table lamp, even a serving tray as the centerpiece for your coffee table.

Other simple home accessories can include a set of beverage coasters and a treasure box. Presto - a whimsical street scene theme for your favorite room. Of course there are other options, including a yard sign to place outside. Now wouldn't that be a cute addition to your yard or garden?

You can see all the whimsical street scene home decor items in my shop just by clicking here. And remember that any one of these fun designs will make a great home decor gift item. Think hostess gifts, housewarming, bridal showers, birthdays and Christmas. Even personalize them with your gift recipient's name!

Vintage Stripes for Home Decor

Vintage Stripes Serving Tray
The look was beautiful in Gramma's living room. Vintage stripes was what she chose for her wallpaper, then coordinated the curtains and accent pieces around the room. I was in love with that room. When I got the chance to completely redecorate my own living room, that was the effect I wanted.

Oh, yes. I had it completely pictured in my mind. The whole room design. The problem was that I couldn't find those stripes. I could find more modern stripes, I could find vintage designs. What I couldn't find was vintage stripes in a pattern.

Designing Vintage Stripe Patterns

Decorative Throw Pillow
Being the resourceful graphic artist that I am, I designed my own. And then made then available on
many different home decor items. Since blue is my favorite color, I started with blue stripes. But, I want one from there. Red, rosey pink, purple, green and yellow all became the basis for vintage stripe patterned home decor.

I am also pleased to announce that these same vintage stripes will soon be available as both fabric and wall paper for your home. In the meantime, the home decor accents are currently ready for you to choose your favorites.

Home Decor with Vintage Stripes

Table Lamp
Wall decor is a great place to start. A wall clock makes a good focal point to accent your vintage theme. Then continue with a decorative throw pillow on the couch or chair. Add an accent table lamp along with some small pieces, like a set of beverage coasters.

One of my favorite accents is a serving tray used as the centerpiece on my coffee table. The tray can sit all by itself to serve as a great focal point, but it can also be functional to hold other small pieces that can be moved from place to place. If you have something like a vintage tea set, then arrange that on your vintage serving tray for a striking effect.

Another small accent that I love to include in home decor is a small treasure box. The look of box can add to your vintage home decor theme, but can also be functional to hold those special momentos from occasions in your life.

The BuckHawk Design Line is Born

Henry Plaid Decorative Pillow
It was a simple matter of need. When you can't find what you're look for, create it yourself. That's how the BuckHawk Design line was born. And it started with something as simple as the Henry Plaid Collection for nursery decor.

My niece was getting desperate. Baby Henry was due only a month away and she still didn't have a look for the nursery decor. Nothing she found available was interesting enough, unique enough, or to her liking. So I grabbed up my laptop and started sketching out her ideas. Simple, with shades of blues and greens, yellow accents. A few alterations later, we had the Henry Plaid.

Then came the brilliant idea (mine, of course) to load them on many home and baby items at . For just about the same amount of money she would have spent on store-bought items, my niece had the nursery decor of her dreams.

How to decorate the baby's room can be seen in full at Henry Plaid Collection for the Baby's Room. The whole collection of can be seen at Zazzle.com BuckHawk Baby Store.

But, of course, one thing led to another. In honor of my darling granddaughter, I created the Vivian Plaid. My skills at home decor, graphic artistry and quilt design came altogether to create these
collections. Along with lots more. Nursery decor was the start of something big. The BuckHawk Design line is just at it's infancy, but loving every minute of it.

Each of the design lines will be featured here. So keep a watch. The perfect look for your own home decor may just appear.
