I just found out that my name is on this A.MAZ.ING list, filled with so many talented design bloggers. I am super honored to even be there, even if it is quite late in the game.

May I humbly ask you to profess your  love to Fieldstone Hill Design, by clicking over to the Apartment Therapy Homies page, and voting for this here blog – today???? Oh, really, you are too good to me!

Today is the final day to vote {and for me… the only day I knew about it! Ha!}, so if you could take a moment to help a girl out, that would be soooo kind of you!

Apartment Therapy does require you to log in. But, golly, if you don’t LOVE  or know about Apartment Therapy… there is some high-class decor ideas cranked out of that place daily. Good stuff, I tell ya.

THANK YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH, blogland friends!

Remember when I shared one of my big goals for my home in 2012:

Well, turns out, if you are sick on the couch for 6 straight days, you can create lots of fun Vision Design Boards.  And this morning, I finished the Vision for our beloved Family/Living Room.

The board does not cover all of the changes I plan to bring to this space, but it does show the overall feel… and I am getting quite excited!

Do you want to see???

Fieldstone Hill Living Room Design Board:

Goodness!! Isn’t she perty??

In fact, hubs and I already went out to our local Benjamin Moore to pick up two colors from their new Color Stories line: “Deep Secret” for the walls, and “Museum Piece” for the coffee table re-vamp.

This room is going to require several DIY’s, so I will keep you posted along the way. I know. You are stunned.

I am particularly excited about the wall color, and how it contrasts the silk gold curtains. The room gets plenty of light, and while all of the walls in our living room will be getting the “Deep Secret” color, only one wall is a large stretch of plaster. The rest of the room has built-ins or a stone wall, leaving very little wall that we are actually going to paint.

So… four years after it was built… we are finally going to paint our favorite room in the house! We have been living with bare plaster all this time. I am  so excited for the change!

What do you think, my darlings??

I am finally making some progress on the boys’ room! Some of you may remember that I vowed to finish the boys room in 2011. Well, that did not happen – in an old home, there are always expensive and unexpected maintenance problems that occur, and derail you from other projects. {fellow old-home-lovers beware!}

But finally, I am one rug, two pillows and two wicker trunks away from finishing our boys’ room… and I love how it is coming together!

Things have changed since my original design, mostly due to great finds that still fit closely within my original vision. That is the beauty of a Vision Design Board – they are both flexible and concrete enough to keep you on track.

As the room evolved, I created a new Vision Design Board for myself. I thought you might have fun seeing the two different Design Boards:

First Vision Design Board:

Revised Vision Design Board:

So today, for fun, I want to share a teensy weensy sneak peek of the gorgeous art wall that sits between the two twin beds.

My friend Jennifer, of the Finest Kind Shop, made the beautiful signs that you see below {click here to enter and win two of your own!}

Every night, before bed, I sing to the boys. And each one of them has their own special “mommy and me” song. So, I worked with Jennifer to create six boards that captured snippets of their special songs.

My firstborn’s song is “Evermore I will Love You,” so we put that one on his side of the bed.  And my Nugget’s song is “You are my Sunshine,” and that sits near his bed. Many nights, the whole family sings “Jesus Loves Me,” together. These memories are priceless to me, so I cannot begin to tell you how much we all love these gorgeous signs. The boys probably love them the most!

This room has lots of other fun touches, so I can’t wait to share the reveal! Be sure you are a subscriber, so you don’t miss it! {I don’t even know when it will be finished! ha!}

Don’t you just love those signs??? I hope you can win two gorgeous signs of your own, and fill them up with words that are special to you and your family.  There are just two days left, today and tomorrow, so enter here to win!

After a year plus of sharing Ditto‘s every Monday morning, I wanted to add something fun and personal to our series!

This week, and whenever I can, I am going to start featuring some of my favorite blogging designers, and their spaces in my Ditto Posts. Doesn’t that sound fun?? Be inspired by gorgeous design AND meet new, fabulous bloggers.

This is not the first time that I have done this {remember this ditto, or this ditto?}.  But now I am going to try to feature talented designers, blog-wide, on a more regular basis. Such a fun way for us to get to peek around the web, and dissect the great design that is being shared by bloggers.

As always, I love hearing from my peeps about what you love, or what you would love to see ditto-ed. So share your thoughts with me!

Today’s ditto is designed by Jill Sorensen of Marmalade Interiors, who also writes the fun and energizing blog Live Like You, and offers amazing decorating goodies at her interiors shop. If you ever need more inspiration to infuse some color and fun into your home, Jill is just the {gorgeous, talented} designer to do that! You can catch a glimpse of her true love for color in this bedroom that is so ditto-worthy:
