Cool Find Friday!

Here are some cool finds for lighting I've found recently, it all started when I found this light fixture from Layla Grace:

I love this, it is absolutely gorgeous.  So I thought I would share a few more of their awesome lighting pieces.

The silhouette of this floor lamp is absolutely stunning!

Design Tip Thursday!

Accent walls are a great way to bring color and pattern into your room, without having to do each wall.  Accent walls are always great behind beds and sofas.  But, you aren't limited to just the usual accent walls.  Bring out a wall that you want to put your favorite pieces of furniture or piece of art on or use the place you want to use as your focal wall as the place for your accent color.  You can do any color or pattern on any wall you wish, the possibilities are endless.

I LOVE this cute little accent wall, your eye goes straight to this wall, where the art is hung.

Decide where you want your focal pointe to be, and that is a great place for your accent wall.

Accent walls can be light and neutral, such as this one.

Inspiration Wednesday!

I just wanted to share something that has always been an inspiration to me, even though it is not something I could ever do.  It inspires me in other ways, mostly through art, I cannot count how many ballerina drawings and paintings I have done.  They are beautiful, graceful, delicate and light.  Seeing them in person is even more moving then seeing them in a picture.




Enjoy!

Color of the day? Grey!

Grey is one of my all time favorite colors.  It is a classic, you can't go wrong with it!  It pairs beautifully with other colors, and it can be as soft or as bold as you want it and still look amazing.  Grey can be applied to any aspect of your home from walls to seating.  It is the perfect color for elements you don't want to change regularly, such as your sofa. You can change the accessories around it as it is a beautiful neutral base for other items in the space.

Grey really pops up against the white trim and dark floors!

Love grey and turquoise together!

Grey walls and seating with pops of color and pattern!  Gorgeous.

Cool Find Friday!

Wreaths aren't always for outdoor decor!  You can incorporate wreaths into your spaces inside as well.  They can be more simple and made out of things that are more reflective of the look you are trying to achieve.

This starfish wreath is simple and clean.  It ties into the other decor that surrounds it.


This is a great alternative to hang over your headboard, a simple antler wreath.

Enjoy!

Design Tip Thursday

If your space needs a breath of fresh air, you can achieve a new look with simply purchasing a rug!  This is such an easy way to give a boring room a whole new look.  You can play around with colors, patterns and textures.  Rugs come in so many styles and colors, you can certainly achieve any look.  If you don't want to invest time into painting and buying new accessories, try getting a new rug for your space.



This room doesn't have much pattern in it, a striped rug is a great addition and doesn't overpower the space.

A classic checked rug in navy, the sizing is perfect for the space to create a cozy sitting area by the fire place.
Rugs can be patterned without being overbearing, just opt for a softer color pallet. 

Enjoy!

Inspirations for Spring

The ocean inspires a million colors.  The deep waters and colors of coral reefs are what is inspiring me at the moment.  The colors are brilliant and the shapes and textures are being reflected onto clothing and interior accessories.  Draw inspiration from things you may not see everyday, and appreciate the beauty of it.



Gorgeous colors of coral reefs.




Enjoy!  Hope you're inspired!
