Hi Everyone!! I know it's been forever since I've posted anything. I've had a lot going on in my life and was feeling quite burned out.  For those that are still following, I have created a new blog and a new Etsy shop.  I have transferred my old blog (So Chic Decor) over to the new one that corresponds with my new shop.  I hope you will take the time to check it out! http://

Hi everyone! It's Holly from So Chic Decor.  How have you been?  I just want to apologize profusely for being absent from my blog.  For awhile I had been working only 30 hours at the hospital and so working, running a blog, and having time for my little guy was manageable. However, it wasn't quite paying the bills. Because of this, I upped my hours back up to 40 and with it being a busy time of

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections."~Author Unknown Source Sometimes my life isn't perfect. Actually it's rarely perfect. I feel like I work too much, spend too little time with my son, and have way too much of the world on my shoulders. I don't make a lot of money and I've been single so long I don't even

Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Mine went by very quickly...too quickly. Saturday I spent the morning cleaning and doing laundry and then the little guy and I went to a birthday party that afternoon.  And Sunday...well Sunday I had to work.  It's definitely not the best way to spend a Sunday but at least I had Saturday off. I'm really hoping to get more done this week

Hi everyone!! Holly from So Chic Decor here! How was your thursday?  I have to say, I'm exhausted. It has definitely been a long week.  It's getting to be that time of year again where the hospital gets busy...and were we busy!!  I felt like I could not catch my breath.  It was non stop all day long until 6 pm when I finally got to leave! (I'm sure it's still busy but luckily I'm no longer there)

Good morning!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is ready to go for the week!  My weekend went by pretty quickly since I had to work on saturday. During my lunch hour on saturday, I took the little guy to an employee picnic for the hospital.  Of course, since the hospital employs numerous individuals, it was quite the event, especially for the kids. They had food, a cotton candy stand,

How gorgeous is this room?  Via  I love how simple it is, yet they have added just a few touches of flowers and romantic pieces to really give the room character. The color combination of grey, pink, and white is quite heavenly. And those BOLD horizontal stripes on the wall behind the bed give the entire room a very dramatic effect. I think if I were to change anything, it would be the lamps.  I

Have I ever told you how much I adore vintage inspired photography? I'm sure you may already realize this from my other posts, such as the post on Lucy Snowe, but just in case you didn't, I thought I'd show you some more stunning photography. This time, the photography is by Sixth and Main. Her photographs are absolutely brilliant and I love her use of soft lights and hues. Each photo is unique

For those who follow me on twitter, you may have seen my tweet on Saturday about the beautiful living room I saw in the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I would have never thought of doing a living room in these colors but I think it turned out great!

I didn't have to work and the little guy had preschool today and so I was able to accomplish quite a bit.  I really needed to do some cleaning and organizing, especially with my desk area and my craft stuff.  I am not the most organized person but how I wish I was!

Happy Friday everyone!  I know this is a little late but I have a sick little boy and a birthday party that I've been trying to get ready (for the sick little boy who turned three yesterday)!  He seems to be doing better and his fever is gone, so hopefully he'll be ready to go for the big day tomorrow.  I just wanted to share with you some beautiful photographs taken by Lori from Photography by

Hello Friends! I hope everyone had a good weekend and is surviving the beginning of the week.  I haven't posted anything in the last couple of days, mostly because I'm on a five day stretch of working.  Working five 10 hour shifts straight makes for very long days and a very unproductive Holly at home.  I want to say thank you to all who have stopped by and left comments and another thank

Hello friends! I'm so excited to share with you some work of a fantastic photographer. I first found Ivy Style on Flickr and immediately loved her work.  Ivy Style is a interior design consultant based out of Frankfurt Germany and she's the author of the beautiful blog, Busy Bee and also runs the etsy shop, New Ivy Style.  Her work is absolutely fantastic and extremely inspiring. I've always

Hello friends!  While it may be August and fall will be here soon, I couldn't resist using teal, pink, and white for my color inspiration this week!  Pink and teal may definitely be more spring like colors, but I love how they look when set against white. Here are just a few rooms that I found very inspiring. Designers Guild Decor Pad Decor Pad Decor Pad Via Inspiration for Decoration

Hello Everyone! I was over visiting Lex Leigh this afternoon and she had written about this really great site, Olioboard.  What's so great about this site?  It's a lot like polyvore, but with furniture and home decor.  Immediately I was interested and once the little guy was in bed, I had to start making a mood board.  I had so much fun doing this and just had to show you a little of what I came

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had to work and so unfortunately didn't get much done around the house, nor did I do anything too exciting. I do have today off so hopefully I can get a few things accomplished. During my downtime this weekend, I was browsing different websites and magazines and thinking about how wonderful it would be to buy new dishes. I love looking

Who wouldn't love to spend the weekend shopping? I know I would. Unfortunately I have to work.  But that doesn't keep me from looking and sharing a few cute things with you! How cute is this dress from Ruche?  and this emerald dress? I love black and this skirt is sparkly! Great for a night out! Just saw these gorgeous bracelets on Rachel Leigh. So beautiful!

Good morning everyone! How is your week going so far?  It's back to work for me (paid work that is...). I had great intentions of continuing on with my red and white color inspiration today with some etsy picks but upon searching Etsy, I came across the fabulous photographer, Erin Reynolds. Her etsy shop has some beautiful photographs and so I needed to see more! I then checked out her work on

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a good weekend!  I didn't have the little guy this weekend as he was with his dad, which doesn't happen all that often. With that being said, you would think I would have gotten a lot accomplished....but I did not!  It was Oregon Trail Days here in western nebraska and that means a food fair, parade, carnival, chili cookoff, and a great night life!

Happy Friday! Today I just want to share with you the work of Kelley Proxmire.  I came across her work today and fell in love with her style.  From black and white to rooms with lots of color, she gives each one a modern, yet traditional look.     I absolutely love the pink rooms as well as the yellow. The color in each one is brilliant and each one has a very inviting feel. The

Good Morning! The week is almost over (YAY!) and hopefully most of us are looking forward to a fun filled weekend.  Do you have any plans?  It's amazing how quickly the summer is speeding by us but hopefully everyone is getting the chance to visit family and friends and possibly go on a wonderful vacation. This morning I came across some beautiful photography by Lucy Snowe and I thought I'd

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a good week and enjoying your summer!  I'm still trying to recover from working my overnights at my job.  I could not sleep last night, not sure whether it was due to my body telling me to be awake or the landlord running the sprinkler at 2:30 this morning. Probably a combination of both.  So of course, today has been rough!  I need lots of coffee to keep

Happy Friday! For a lot of you, the work week has ended and it's time for a fun filled weekend! Unfortunately for me, I get to work overnights for the next three nights....yuck.  Before I go for the weekend, I thought it would be perfect to continue on with my color inspiration of blue and brown with some great Etsy finds! 1.

Hi there!  This here is going to be my first (of many I hope!) color inspiration blogs.  For quite some time, I have LOVED seeing blue and brown paired together. I wanted to start doing a color inspiration blog and when I was over at CreamyLife, she had a blog on these two colors and I thought it would be a perfect way to start out my color inspirations! I think most people either really love

Good morning!  I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!  It's great when it falls on the weekend and we have one more day to spend with family and friends!  For my fourth, I had family and friends over at my house to watch fireworks and the kids had a blast!  My son is almost 3 years old and this is the first year he really got into it. Snaps were by far his favorite thing to do,

Hi everyone! I just want to share with everyone a great blog I found yesterday as I was browsing the internet for party ideas. Nesting Instincts is fantastic blog about parties, home decor, art, and much more.  I was looking at some of her posts on party planning and she has some wonderful ideas for different parties, anything from movie nights to Dr. Seuss.

I think every one can agree with me cute illustration prints can help bring light and laughter to any room. Lately I've wanted to do nothing more than get my markers and paper out and do a little illustrating of my own.  I love all sorts of color and adding art to your walls, especially art with lots of color, can do wonders for a bare wall.  This morning as I was browsing different sites, I came

I was over at All Things Lovely and came upon this post she did on Samantha Robinson and of course, I had to check it out! This hand painted porcelain is just gorgeous!  Once I saw this, I just had to pass it along.  She doesn't have order forms up yet but it appears that she will soon.  Don't you think these pieces are absolutely beautiful? The patterns are outstanding and so beautifully

Okay, so I've done a few posts on here but I haven't done one yet on my art.  Like I said, I love art and have been drawing and painting since I was little. I don't have a lot of training behind me but enough to have done some work.  One thing I love about Acrylic paint is what you can do with it.  There are a many mediums that can be added to your paints to achieve different looks and styles.

For anyone who knows me, I love to read.  When I'm not busy chasing after my two year old son or working, I almost always have a book to read.  For this past month, my book club wanted a book that was a little happier than our last one, so we chose The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton The Wednesday Sisters: A Novel I'd have to say this book is fabulous.  It's well written, easy to read,

I'm always on the lookout for cute home decor items, especially anything on etsy. I was browsing their items this morning and found a store featuring some unique handmade vintage chic items.  The first one that caught my eye was a 6x6 black and white french wall plaque.  Upon seeing it I just HAD to check out the store. Royal Bebe Shoppe has some great items including wall plaques (like I said,

Unfortunately, those dreams have constantly changed.  Not because I didn't know what I wanted to do but because I feel this need to please everyone. Yes, I'm a people pleaser. I want everyone to
