Many of us live in standard builder grade homes.

Although, I am sure we all dream of living in a home jam packed with character.

Adrianne and Jeremy from Dream Book Design have taken their home and transformed it.

This home now oozes with character, a completely inspiring renovation.

And after…

Is that really the same room?

New floors, molding, and ornate furniture complete this jaw-dropping makeover.

The living room/kitchen before:

And after…

The brick wall is incredible!

They also opened up the kitchen to the living room, which is connected to the dining room.

I love the flow of the spaces.

They kept the kitchen light and simple.

Just lovely.

I am absolutely inspired by this renovation.

Doesn’t this just make you want to add some character to your home?

I have a big obsession with yard sales.

I blame it on my mom, many saturdays from my childhood were spent attending yard sales.

It is almost impossible for me not to stop.

An addiction really.

Even though I go regularly, I am really picky.

I am looking for a great find, not junk.

Most the time I find nothing, but last saturday I snagged 2 beautiful ceramic lamps.

I got them for $3.50 a piece. 

boo-ya!

They are a beautiful milky blue/green.

And they kinda have a faux bamboo look to them, love it!

I am still debating where they will go but I am loving them on my bedroom dresser.

Obviously I need to get some lampshades, but aren’t they beautiful?

So what are your thoughts on yard sales?

Do you go?

Are you obsessed like me?

 Today is my birthday! I turned the big 27.

I love birthdays, there is just something fun about a day to yourself!

My man is taking the night off and we our going to eat Indian and watch the Bachelorette.

I can’t wait.

Also, yesterday the July/August issue of Lonny Magazine came out.

It is fantastic…

I am drooling over the pages, go here to check it out.

Yesterday I spent some time at Walls.

It is my favorite go-to place for designer wallpaper.

The store is packed full of gorgeous wallpaper, fabric, and accessories.

I think I could spend all day browsing through every book.

 I am searching for the perfect wallpaper for my clients powder room.

I adore these blue and white trellis designs.

I ordered several samples and I can’t wait to show you what we selected!
