While not all styled and perfected… I wanted to bring you all along on the entire journey of creating the little ladies space.  It is real life around here most off the time after all, sprinkled with photoshoots every now and then.  I will fully admit that the first thing I should have done was to paint the room.  But I am impatient.  … Read More

As I mentioned yesterday, we have gone through a few changes around our home this Summer.  And one of these changes might cause dramatic reaction.  The boy’s room… is no longer.  I know. I know.  It was a tough choice to make.  Believe me.  The boy has graduated High School, has bought his first car and is off to live the collegiate life.  … Read More

Well, Summer is officially over for us and we have survived the first week of waking up earlier and heading back to school.  I must admit, while it was nice to spend nearly every minute of the Summer with my little lady, it sure is nice to get back to the semblance of a schedule.  I am excited to get back to work feeling fresh and inspired again!  … Read More

I have been on a thrifting/antiquing slump for a while.  My favorite spots have been filled with duds for the past few months and I have been completely uninspired.  But being the avid design hunter I am, I did not let the lack of diamonds in the rough deter my trips.  I continued to visit my go to shops every few weeks and bam!!!… Read More

First things first… I am not a fashion blogger, nor do I play one on tv, but I know how hard it is to find a good swimsuit.  … Read More

I spent a lot of time researching brackets, rods, methods, etc to create this drapery canopy for the bed.  I had seen a lot of inspiration images in the past, but upon looking more closely at the photos, I quickly realized how many ways this could be accomplished.  The main issue I was having was the corner brackets.  If corner brackets weren’t used, the corners got a little bulky/clunky not the look I was looking for.  … Read More

Thanks for all of the comments yesterday about the Guest Room Makeover at #ProjectFamJam.  It was tough to bring it all together so fast, and under $1000.  When I got the budget, my original thought was going to be tight.  So I decided to hunt for the best deals possible to still leave the space looking expensive and layered.

kilim pillow // tassel duvet // art // sconce // cord cover

lamp (similar) // top art (similar) // area rug // brass knobs (similar) // wood beads (similar)

sputnik flush mount  // art // sconce

ceiling rods // corner rods // ceiling mounts // drapery panels // tassel duvet

When looking for the best deals possible, I tend to turn to a few special places.… Read More

It has been a quick few weeks completing this space for the FrogTape Paint Over Challenge, but reveal week is here already! Just to remind you, here is how the guest room over at #ProjectFamJam began:

And after incorporating my designated design trend of Inter-Woven, the space is now filled with rich saturated colors, layers of texture and bold patterns.  … Read More
