Try a vanity that has legs!  The legs on this vanity gives you an airy feeling that gives you the illusion of more space.  The baskets provide enough storage without it feeling closed off.

A Room With A View

Good Afternoon!

I love the feeling of courtyards.  

It makes you feel like your on a vacation and I am all about that :)

Your home should be a sanctuary where you can get away from all the busyness.  Even if you have little kids there should be a place where it's your own getaway and creating a courtyard experience can do just that.

White And Gold

Good Morning!

I was out doing errands several days ago and the sun was shining really bright and we had just gotten a huge batch of snow (not a good combination).  My eyes were just burning and tearing.  I made my way to the store and picked up these awesome sunglasses.

Love the look of these white and gold frames.  

Not overly done with the gold but just the right amount of balance. 

I am really happy that the sun and snow were blinding me now..lol.

 

 

Let's look at some white and gold inspired interiors and accessories for your home.

Gold doesn't have to be gaudy. When it's used it can be a beautiful accent that will warm and add some elegance to the space.

I Have Taken The Plunge

Good Afternoon!

I love the color blue!  If you know anything about me .. I always gravitate to blue family.  

The other thing you should know is that I usually stay away from strong bold colors for myself in decorating my home. 

BUT..

I have found myself gravitating to the stronger more vibrant hue.

Entryway Beauty

Good Morning!

Hope everyone's Holiday was filled with joy and family.  I know mine was and I feel extremely blessed.

We have entered into a new year and it got me thinking about entryways.

Your entryway is like the appetizer for your home - it makes you anticipate the main course.  It's one of the first areas where you can take risk and add interest to your space.

Love the use of green here.  It is right on trend with Pantone's color of the year.
