It is no secret that my mom has great style.

I absolutely love her house, you can see a tour of it here.

She is constantly redesigning something in her home.

Her latest project is the back deck.

Last week she purchased two fantastic throw pillows from Home Goods. 

I love the orange and blue combo, perfect for an outdoor space.

We are now on the hunt for the perfect outdoor mirror for above the fireplace, something that will pop.

She quickly threw together this furniture arrangement with outdoor pieces she already owned.

Although it looks pretty good, she wanted a place to lounge.

This loveseat was just not cutting it.

I immediately suggested doing an outdoor daybed.

I love the look, function, and practicality of them.

And the best part, you get to load them with yummy textiles!

This lumbar pillow for Pottery Barn will be the perfect floral for the space.

And will look great paired with a couple of these light blue pillows.

Wouldn’t it be fun to add this graphic beauty to the mix?

I can’t wait to see it complete!

Is anyone else working hard on finishing their outdoor spaces?

Emory is back and as sassy as ever!

Her shirt and shorts are from Target and shrug and gold flats are from Joe Fresh Style.

The glasses are mine, she added that accessory herself 🙂

I love pairing blue and green together, especially with her olive complexion.

This girl is too much, she sure knows how to work the camera!

Kissy face…

 

Contemplating life? So innocent? Overwhelmed?

  

She definitely does not lack confidence.

And knows how to work those puppy dog eyes.

Are you guys thinking the same thing I am?

Toddlers & Tiaras just might be her calling.

I could only imagine her runway walk…

I am long due for a DIY post.

But I have a hard time focusing on DIY projects once spring hits.

I still have a couple projects floating around in my head, stay tuned 🙂

In the meantime, I thought I would share some of my latest thrifty finds.

First off, this incredible indoor/outdoor rug from CB2.

It is 5 x 8 and only cost $80.00.

Wouldn’t this rug be the perfect inspiration piece for a rockin patio design?

I love the color scheme and ethnic vibe.

I am really impressed with World Market’s pieces lately.

This $169.00 side table is so unique and charming.

I love its refined industrial look.

This $69.99 ceramic table lamp is also from World Market.

I have a soft spot for ceramic lamps and I adore this green color.

And lastly, this mirror is from Wistera and is currently on sale for $115.00, marked down from $329.00!

You can never go wrong with an ornate black mirror.

Especially for such a great price!

Happy Shopping 🙂

Now that the flowers are starting to bloom in Utah, I have the flower itch.

I wish I had a backyard full of tulips, hydrangeas, and peonies.

If I did, I would have fresh flowers in each room.

 I think they add the perfect finishing touch to every room.

With flowers, you can introduce an unexpected color to a room and it works.

I just love the how they add a feminine flair to a space.

Although I would LOVE to have fresh flowers in my home all year round, it just isn’t realistic.

My mom has been known to use silk flowers in small doses, I personally like it.

What about you?

Would you consider using silk flowers?
