Heaven is For Real

Totally random, I know.  I just thought you all should know how totally awesome this little book is!!!  I read it  in less than 3 hours.  Seriously, could not put it down…It’s a good one and so easy to read.  If you need a quick inspiration for um, ETERNITY, it is worth your time.  It is such a great illustrtion of what Heaven is.  Unfortunately all of us have lost someone we love, and if you haven’t, it will most likely happen at some point.  This little book does a fabuous job of putting Heaven into perspective.  It is not a sad book…actually a very happy book, especially for those going to Heaven. 

Now, not to sound like a total idiot, but reading isn’t my most favorite thing in the world.  I am terribly dyslexic and I just don’t do reading well.  So to even pick up this book was a HUGE commitment on my part.  I think the last book I actually read front to back was probably for summer reading in HIGH SCHOOL!!  Sad!  I do magazines, especially design magazines, just not books.  I’ll try to be better.   With all that being said, if you are anything like me (or not at all) you will get something encouraging and comforting out of this great little boy’s testimony. 

God is great and uses the most unlikely people in the most wonderful way.  I would love to know your thoughts if you have picked this wonderful little story up.

Happy reading!

Why, Yellow There!

 

Paired with gray, creamy neutrals, or white, yellow enlightens any room with its happy and sunny hue. No matter the time of year, the season, weather conditions outside, or your particular mood for any given day-yellow is pretty much guaranteed to evoke a “sunnier-side up” outlook on the world.  Simply glance at some of the images below and you’ll walk (or click) away with a smile on your face.

Here at Ashley Gilbreath Interior Design, we love to use color in accent pieces and accessories because you can change out items whenever you wish without spending a fortune to redo your entire room or house, for that matter.

  Notice the pictures begin with yellow punches and then move into more saturated looks to give you an idea of how to use it.

Enjoy!

Inspired Reading

Coffee Table Books are some of Ashley and Amanda’s favorite home accessories.  Not only do they give your room some personality, but they really tend to tell us a lot about your personality.

Put a lot of them together, and they can really lend a room some character. Here are some book looks the designers are digging:
