Eggs are a symbol of new life.
And that is exactly what took place in my bedroom as I brought out my summer bedspread (using what I had), and changed the art on my walls.
This re-do gave my bedroom a fresh, new summery feel, thanks to Laryssa Herbert’s fantastic artwork!
Laryssa Herbert’s art was perfect for the color of my light, aqua bedroom walls, which I painted 4 years ago, a color that tied in well with our pool, which we see out our bedroom slider.
I chose three of her prints to frame in black frames from Target ($12 each), and hung them above my bed.
I added 2 Target pillows.
It was a very inexpensive “re-do,” using what I had and adding a few accessories, changing the whole look and feel of my bedroom!

love the prints, also love the bird silloutes, as far as the question, unfortunatly we do not know many of our neighbors (like i remember as a kid we knew everyone on the block) but the woman across the street and the couple next door have been very friendly, though we don't socialize together, we get each others mail when some one is gone on vacation, we have been lucky enough to have the ones across the street keep the dogs for us for a few days

Does borrowing an egg from your neighbor who also happens to be your mother count?
Love those pictures, and I am getting ready to re-do my bedroom, so I can think of the perfect spot for them!

I live on an island, population,50. There are no stores here at the moment; all of our supplies are brought on by boat, which is weather-dependent. We ALL routinely borrow from each other, everything from eggs to gas, to diapers, to cold medicines. We are a perfect example of the word Community. It's fantastic!

It has been so long since I stopped by and it's lovely as usual! I love the prints above your bed and the color scheme is so soothing. I think I know my neighbours well enough to borrow an egg but wouldn't do it all the time I guess. One way to find out!! Have a lovely day.

I have neighbors that I consider family and count it as such a blessing in this day and age. We're very lucky in that regard!

My neighbors just so happen to be friends that we go back YEARS with! Courtney was a sorority sister of mine — I met her 15 years ago. My husband has known her even longer, since high school! We even started a shared vegetable garden this year. So yeah, I'd have no problem borrowing an egg, and vice versa! It's great to have neighbors who are also dear friends.

Your bedroom is so pretty! Love the blue.
On the eggs – I have borrowed some eggs and sugar from several neighbors before and they from me – they're great!

I may be too late to enter, but no I don't feel comfortable enough to ask for an egg from the neighbors. We've recently moved to the area and are still getting acquainted.

LOL — OOOH yes. We are comfy and cozy with our neighbors and borrow and loan a lot. But it seems like I'm the one always borrowing eggs or butter!! LOL~

Yes, I feel like I can borrow eggs from our neighbors, I usually do borrow something like an egg or sugar or something.
What a fun contest,

I hope so! We are pretty close to some of them, and others keep to themselves (childless folks who may not appreciate the lively nature of our two preschoolers)! But I wish for a neighborhood of yesteryear — all the time !

Oh oh oh!!! It's Thursday already…am I too late to enter? I just saw this post, and it gave me goosebumps. I just re-did my living room with the same blue tones. I also bought 2 pillows from Target just 2 days ago! How funny is that? Everything else I used in my re-do was gathered from around my house.
Yes…I would ask my neighbor for eggs–lots of them.
