Obsessed With: Black & White, Maxi & Print

Here are just a few of my current fav’s.

Anything black & White

This color combination is so powerful. It’s bold but yet still sublet.

I also love when there is just a pop of color- like this

 

The Maxi

 

I’m in love with maxi dresses at the moment. Mostly because I am pregnant and they are so easy and so much more comfortable to wear than pants are.
I’ve been on the hunt for cute, cheap maxis where ever I go.

Fabric  Covered Canvas’s

An inexpensive way to add artwork and color to a room

I have three canvas’s I painted awhile ago that don’t go with the décor I have in this apartment. So I plan to cover them with a fun fabric asap and hang them in my living room.

 

What are you obsessing over as of late?

Pretty in Pink

It’s not just for girls anymore.

 

 

When done in the right way, the color pink can be bold, fierce and such an attention grabber. 

 

 

Pink is a great complementary color- in pairs well with so many different colors.

Try grays, blacks and even kelly green alongside it.

 

 

 

Pink is unexpected and adds fun and excitement to any space.

Try incorporating this color in small amounts if you aren't ready to apply it to all the walls.

 

If you are daring enough- I say go for it.

 

 

Try these colors on for size

DIY: Burlap Wreath

 

Spring time is finally upon us

(even though it certainly hasn't felt that way here in Central Texas)

 

 So in lieu of the new season, I made a festive wreath for my front door.

 

 

Supplies Needed:

 

 

Wreath form

1 yard of burlap

Scissors

Ribbon

 

Steps:

 

Cut burlap into 1 inch wide strips

(length will depend on how thick your wreath form is)

 

Tie strip of burlap in a knot around the form

 

 

 

Continue this until you have completed the circle.

(you will need to move knots around accordingly to make sure the strips fit together tightly)

 

 

Finish by adding a decorative bow

 

Total cost: $10

Trending Now: Stripes

J.Crew

As you know when it's in, in the fashion world- it is also a very popular trend in the interior design world also.

 

Stripes- bold and beautiful

 

These floor to ceiling striped curtains create such drama and impact in this room.

 

A little something unexpected- paint stripes on the ceiling.

 

Add stripes in small amounts.

 

Try stripes in your own room- don't be afraid!

Insiders Tip: Decorating with White

 

For most, white doesn’t seem like the most appealing color to decorate with.

But what you may not know about white is it is one of the easiest, most crisp and chic colors to design around.

 

Take a small space for example; paint the floors and walls white. It will instantly make the room feel and appear larger and brighter.

And entirely white room is also very beautiful- the key is to add in many different textures and tones.

Having an all white space really brings out the different architectural details.

Or try even using white as the neutral background color. Pair it with daring bold prints and bright colors.

Hello March?

 

I can not believe it is March already!!

Seriously this year is flying by wayyyy too quickly.

 

 

& Now that another month has past, it has made me realize all the things I did not get accomplished in the last 28 days!

 

We decided to hold off on decorating the guest room (now soon to be baby's room) until we find out what we are having. Which won't be for another TWO months.

((PS. We are hoping for a girl))

 

I haven't had much energy to do much of anything after work the past couple weeks. And Corey started a new job with longer hours. So we are just exhausted lately.

 

So here's to another month of good days and good news.

 

 

 

 

Trending Now: Brass

 Brass is back... and in full swing.

 

With 70's style on the scene, of course this gorgeous metal is making it's come back.

 

This years color {Emerald of course} pairs perfectly with brass accents.

 

Add touches of brass around your space with dark hues for a more masculine look.
