One Year Ago Today…

January 8, 2012 by Amber Filed Under: blog birthday Leave a Comment

My little blog is officially one year old today!! This has been such an amazing year, full of new possibilities, dreams and great new friends. I am so thankful to all of you that have stuck around and checked in to what I have to say! It means the world to me. When I started this blog, I was amazed that people would read it, comment and actually follow! Me?? I have loved blogging so far, and I look forward to future posts!

I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my very first post (which actually had no pictures!)

1/8/11

I have loved interior design for as long as I can remember.  I am an avid HGTV fan and love to come up with new decorating ideas, or expanding on existing ones.  My education background is not design, but I feel it is my calling!  I daydream about what to decorate next, or how large print damask wallpaper will look in my entryway.  I truly believe that you don’t have to be a famous designer to have great style.  You also don’t have to break the bank to afford great style.  Choosing to begin with timeless pieces that will always be in vogue and will stand through the ever changing trends is what makes your design last!
Let’s get ready to talk design!

Well… I did do the large print damask wallpaper in our foyer! I also tried out stenciling this year and embarked on a new e-decorating career! My first actual client was this past summer, and it was so much fun. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this blog and sharing what I love to talk about… design! I promise that this coming year will be filled with gorgeous room inspirations, lots of DIY projects and more decor fun. Thanks so much for checking in and reading, and here’s to another year!!

I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades I am loving these new @frontgate chandelier shades, no matter which way you walk into the room. The glow is so pretty at night and it transformed that original to the home chandelier! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #bhghome #hgtv #myballardstyle #yespb #sharemygrandin #diningroom #livingroom

The chandelier looks so much bigger for this space. The second image shows the before, so you can also compare! Sometimes, you don’t have to replace the whole light fixture. One new, small idea can make all the difference. Thanks so much @frontgate #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #hgtv #bhghome #loveyourhabitat #diningroom
I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive for our dining room fixture. This light was here when we moved in and I think adding the cream shades will make the chandelier look bigger in scale and just give it a new look! Stay tuned… #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #sharemygrandin #yespb #myballardstyle #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #diningroom
Umbrella update… after two years, this @target f Umbrella update… after two years, this @target find still looks brand new! It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside
