It is interesting and unique yet remains simple.

Also, earlier this year Naomi from Design Manifest shared her inpsiring kitchen makeover.

I adore the white open shelving with brass hardware. 

I love how this space is pretty and bold yet overall feels simple.

My personal design goal for 2014 is to keep things simple. 

I am kinda excited about it.

Anyone else have plans to simplify?

She is currently in the process of renovating her home, and the progress so far is incredible.

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!

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?
