Smitten Studio Love!


We are only one week away from Christmas (can you believe it?!) and I swear each day gets busier.
Regardless of all the craziness, when I come across an inspiring blogger/home tour, I quickly become obsessed. I have been known to spend several hours on a new-to-me blog soaking in all the goodness.

For some reason I just recently stumbled across Sarah from Smitten Studio.
Her style is flawless and such an inspiration for my next rental.
Since we will be selling all our furniture, I am so excited to start fresh!

She is currently in the process of renovating her home, and the progress so far is incredible.
If you are not already, you must follow along!
Isn’t it lovely?

Magazine Feature!

A few months ago an editor from Family Circle magazine contacted me about giving a little design advice for an upcoming issue.
Having my name in print is a no-brainer, of course I said yes.
I was asked to give design advice on office spaces.
I put together a quote, the editor sent back the write-up, and I approved it!

Even though it is a small feature, it is still so exciting for me to see my name in a magazine at the Target check-out!
And yes, I took way too many pictures of this little quote. Total dork right here.
The January issue also has a fun article featuring a team of some of my favorite mom bloggers! You really must check it out.
Lastly, the winner of the Designer Pillow Giveaway is…
Congrats! Email me Denise.
A big thanks to Modern Spark for such an awesome giveaway. Their pillows are pretty darn dreamy!

Wrap It Up…Do You Wrap Like This?

Two weeks ago 100 Layer Cake shared their Best Holiday Wrap Ideas.
I love this non-tradional gift wrap idea from Decor 8.
Modern yet rustic from Print Smitten.

And the sweetest gift tags ever from Martha Stewart.

I pretty much loved their entire round-up. You can go here to see more.
Oh how I would love to wrap every gift like this.
Realistically I buy the cutest wrapping paper I can find, a matching ribbon, a sticky name tag, and call it a day.  
Do you go all out with wrapping? Or are you a lazy wrapper like me?
