I love seeing home tours that real people live in.

Ok, I know real people live in every home, but sometimes it doesn’t seem like it.

Cassandra’s, from Coco + Kelly, home was recently featured in Rue Magazine and I am in love.

Although her apartment is styled perfectly, it stills feels warm, cozy, and live-able.

A few things I love:

1. The neutral color scheme with pops of color.

2. $7.00 dotted Ikea pillow!

 It seems to work in every space!

3. That her living room, dining room, and office is one big room (welcome to my life!). 

It’s small but so fabulous.

4. She had to swag her chandelier but still made it look great. 

How many of us have this problem?! 

5. The bench seating. 

Doesn’t it gives the illusion of a custom banquette? An awesome idea for a small space.

6. The dresser. 

I love it, I need it.

7. The gold trim on the doors. 

Such a simple detail but adds so much!

Did you enjoy this home tour as much as I did?

It is pretty awesome.

You can see more from the newest issue of Rue here!

It’s no secret that I am a big fan of designer fabrics.

Today I am hosting an awesome giveaway from Elegant Touch!

Her shop is packed full of gorgeous pillows, all of which I wouldn’t mind owning.

I have been working hard on e-designs, and have finally made a small dent in my waiting list!

I am so lucky to have great clients who are so patient, it sure makes things easier.

I just finished this living room design, and I had a blast working on it.

My client was a breeze to work with, and I am thrilled with how it turned out.

She wanted the design to be light and airy, with pops of color, and a fun young vibe.

I was able to find some great deals in order to keep the room within budget.

Here are a few of my favorite affordable finds…

I love this gold and purple fine paper from Paper Source. It is 20″x 29″ for only $4.95!

It will make inexpensive yet beautiful art.

We all love a sunburst mirror.

You can’t beat this 30″x 30″ mirror from Home Depot for $35.00.

And even though I am a fan of designer pillows, it never hurts to pair an expensive pillow with a less spendy one.

This 18″x18″greek key pillow is only $28.00, perfect!

I can’t wait to see this room come together, it will be amazing!

Also, we went to a Cinco De Mayo birthday party this weekend and we had so much fun, especially Emory…

Yep, she is riding a donkey while wearing a mustache and a hat.

I can’t get enough of this picture, it is just too funny!

Oh, and make sure you come back tomorrow, I have great designer pillow giveaway!

Sorry for my lack of posts lately, I’ve just needed a little blogging break.

I’ll be back on track next week and I have some awesome posts planned, including a designer pillow giveaway!

In the meantime, I couldn’t help but share this nursery.

It is the home of Canadian designer Sami Wall, and I love her style.

I need some of that Schumacher Zimba in my life…it is amazing!

I love how clean, simple, and functional everything is.

I think it is perfect!

I’ll see you next week 🙂
