Greetings Friends, Family, Fellow Blogging Community!! I'm a 30-something year old music teacher and enthusiastic self-taught decorator, who loves to spend time with my tremendously talented and handsome one-of-a-kind husband, Jon, our two amazing children, Clara and Carson, and my wonderful loving family and friends!! I love all things creative and artsy, including design, music, dance, art, scrapbooking, you name it!! I decided to commence this blog in order to create a fun and creative on-line journal showcasing the exciting adventurous journey of the Botbyl family, and in order to keep in touch with and hopefully inspire other individuals, like myself who love to share a wonderful life's design consisting of love of family, friends, and creative living!! Please leave me a message/comment if you decide to visit my blog, or add yourself to my list of "followers" so that I can visit your awesome blog or Facebook!! Look extremely forward to hearing from you!! Have an incredibly amazing day!!

Daily Dose of Design, Botbyl Style

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers, Family, & Friends!! It's been a while since I created a post, although I definitely promised myself I'd update my blog frequently. However, as we're all aware, life comes at us fast, without leaving us much time to happily bask in the ambiance of summer, while enthusiastically blogging about it, which brings me to my first point of discussion, a daily dose of Botbyl Style brought to you from your favorite design & decorating enthusiast, Amy Botbyl!! tehe
Here's a picture of a small corner in my family room, where I just rearranged a few furniture pieces to make way for my lovely new frugal find, an antique vanity/dresser which I scored for $15 @ a garage sale, then sand, primed, painted, distressed, & gave a french cottage shabby chic look!! I'm still in the process of replacing the old knobs w/something vintage & charming!! Not half bad eh, considering I'm a total amateur as of now in the world of refurbishing old furniture, turning trash to treasure, & giving vintage pieces a new lease on life!! I could definitely get the hang of this!!
