Thrifty Tuesday: Affordable Finds

By 7 Comments

Target recently introduced custom upholstery furniture.
I had a ton of fun playing around with fabric options and I can’t get this armless settee out of my head!
I am a big fan of painted furniture. This adorable nightstand is on sale at World Market for only $59.99 
You can’t go wrong with Turquoise.
I love this $219.00 Suzani Chair from World Market.
Wouldn’t it be great in a nursery or little girls room?!

I’ve been eyeing this Mint Lamp from JCPenney for a while now.
Right now it is on sale for $39.99 and that includes the shade. Pretty sure that is cheaper than Walmart!
I am a huge fan of Brittany Bass’ artwork.
She is currently selling this piece (my favorite) on One Kings Lane!
This is a great opportunity to get a large print for a fraction of the cost. I want it bad.
Apparently I have blue and pink on my mind…
Happy Shopping!

Light & Bright E-Design

By 16 Comments

I spend every night working on e-deisgns and I absolutely love it.
Although I typically share a quick preview of the designs on Instagram, I always forget to post them here! I am also in desperate need of updating my portfolio as I have SO many e-deisgns to add. Maybe next week? 
This design was so fun to work on. My client wanted a touch of color, a lot of neutral tones, a slightly rustic vibe, and an overall cohesive feeling.
I used tourquoise and chartreuse as the accent colors, grounded the room with grey furnishings, kept it crisp and clean with touches of white, and cozied it up with the use of natural wood tones.
How great is the chartreuse chair? It so affordable too!
I just love how this space came together.
The room isn’t huge so keeping things light and airy was a must.

In the past I haven’t used a ton of green in my interiors but this design confirmed to me that I need a little more of it in my life!

Mothers Day Blogger Gift Exchange

By 3 Comments



I am sure you have noticed a change in the dynamics of blogging in the last year or so.
Although I am a huge fan of Pinterest & Instagram, they have really changed the blogging world. 

Interaction between bloggers and readers has been moved from the comment section to other forms of social media. Although I must say I happily embrace this change, it is an adjustment. Trying to figure out the best way to stay connected, put out fresh content, and maintain relationships with readers and other bloggers is new territory.

When Stefanie from Brooklyn Limestone and Jen from Rambling Renovators contacted me about participating in a Mothers Day Favorite Things Gift Exchange I couldn’t resist. Just the kind of blogger interaction I have been missing.




The group of ladies is fantastic, I am so honored to be included. If you’ve been looking for some top notch blogs to follow, these are pretty great:

A Mothers Day gift exchange sounds good to me. We will be sending our gifts the first week of April and I can’t wait to hear what everyone gets. Plus, I am dying to know who has me! I’ll be sure to post all about it, and it may give you some good ideas for Mothers Day gifts as well.
I would love to hear your thoughts on interacting with bloggers. Which social media sites do you prefer? Blogs? Instagram? Facebook, Twitter? Pinterest?
