Patterns, Colors, and Textures, Oh My!

I love spring time! I love West Elm during the spring time! They have such a great selection of decorative pillows, area rugs, tableware and accessories that can really light up a room. This is the easiest way to change up any space without spending an arm and a leg. Let your space reflect your personality! People tend to overlook the fact that their home can really reflect their personality and identity. Splurge a little this weekend on your home and make it YOU.

Have fun!

PS- Found the cute little trees online from an unknown artist. =/

Persimmon and Teal

I am loving everything that is on this moodboard! Persimmon orange and teal have got to be one of my most favorite color combinations all year round. They make any dull room look more playful and moore cheerful. Notice the subtle touches of these colors, and how they were utilized in the space. I'm having such a hard time designing and decorating my home. It is much easier designing someone elses home and loads of more fun using their money! There are endless options for interior styles and I want all of them. Picking one is just too complicated. Once I feel like I've nailed my design choice I get easily seduced by another. I do notice my style for comfy casual is mildly subsiding and modern/chic/vintage is a good trio for us. And I gotta have all three because I just can't pick one.

New Apt.

I just moved into my first new apartment and I am just dying to design and decorate!
I find myself splurging on home goodies more than clothes and shoes. I NEED to find balance! Every time Robert comes home from work he notices I switched things around. The first thing he does when he walks into the apt- It'll go something like this, "Hey babe- oh wow, but, oh you moved it over there- that looks nice. Oh, and where did- ah, there it is." It's just funny to stare at him as he tries to piece everything together. Most guys couldn't careless, but Robby is a rare breed and that's why I married him. Now, the past couple of weeks I've been shifting the same things over and over again until I find myself content with the way it looks, but then I got bored of swapping the same things. Soo, Friday finally came, deposited my check and off I went to IKEA with my mom. Yes, IKEA aka Disney World. I got some fun decorative pillows, accessories and a table lamp. I can't buy furniture yet, because this apartment that we are currently living in is only temporary- so I don't want to jump the gun and start buying the "big stuff" until I'm in the new place. So, there you go. This weekend I'm going to the Container Store- I've never been so obsessed with organizing until I moved. I have no idea why. Can't wait!


Here are a few of the items I boutght from IKEA and The mirror is from CHIASSO. =)
