Home Inspiration

I've been inspired lately by so many great home ideas. I thought I'd share some here that I have compiled. Be inspired!

I love the stripes painted horizontally.


Art drawn on a chalkboard.


Wood paneling going so far up the wall.


Rugs placed at angles.


Something about this space I just love. The mix of retro and modern. Classy and comfort.


Glass bottle candle holders.





Artwork hung at seating level.


The simplicity of this bedroom.


Books organized by color.


All ideas from here.

Summer Nights

For those of you who still have some warm summer nights left, let Martha Stewart be your guide to make the last of summer a little extra special!

I love this idea for candle chandeliers. Such an inexpensive way to add some sparkle to your outdoor space.

Why not invite some guests over for get together to say farewell to summer nights with these cute lantern invitations?

Make your own drink umbrellas!

Keep bees away by covering food with an embroidery hoop and muslin.

And add some magic to your space with these vellum lanterns.

Wishlist

Happy Thursday everyone! Tomorrow I am off for a day trip. I am very excited for it, but I am not so sure I will be able to post since I will be leaving early. So for now, I thought I would share some things that are on my wishlist!


Aren't these lawn chairs from Anthropologie great?! They are so whimsical. They make me think of Alice in Wonderland. What a cheerful way to brighten up the backyard.




I am in love with Voluspa's newest collection, Maison Blanc. My favorite scents, Pink Citron (above) and Macaron (below). Pink Citron "is a ripe citron grapefruit with a juicy pink center, layered with tart cassis and a heart of subtle rose." Macaron "is delicious and colorful, with the scent of Macarons de Paris."

These flavors really do smell divine! Check out all the flavors of this collection here.

There is so much love going around and I am afraid I have been a little behind!

Sweet Cafe Bellini awarded me the Fashion Blogger award:

1. Give your best style advice: I would say my best style advice is to wear what makes you feel happy! Because if you are happy in what you are wearing, your confidence and joy will shine through!

2. Show us your go-to outfit(s): I don't have any pictures, but my go-to outfits have been floral rompers and sundresses. I really can't get enough of these items.

3. Show us what you can't live without right now (fashion-wise): I can't live without my tank tops right now. It is SO hot that this is the only way to survive most days. Oh, and my sailor shorts :)

Beautiful Hannah from Hannah and Bryan awarded me the Sugar Doll award:

With this award, the rules are to share 10 things about yourself, so here we go:

1. I seem to be always hungry. According to everyone, that is. I guess I say it a lot. And it's true...I do eat often!
2. I am addicted to HGTV Design Star! Love that show!
3.If you have been watching this season, then you know what I mean when I say I have no problem painting a room yellow. I know they said that's not a good idea, but it's such a happy color!
4. One of my favorite animals are hamsters. I think they are adorable.
5. When I get a new issue of my favorite magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, I go through each and every page in order. I don't like to skip around!
6. I get cold way too easily. Even though it is so hot here, if I am in an air conditioned house, I will more than likely get a blanket at some point if I am sitting around.
7. I love looking at houses and buildings. I am fascinated by how structures like these are built.
8. I wash my car instead of going to a car wash to do it.
9. I generally get so annoyed by it, but I watch True Beauty.
11. I have quite a big sweet tooth. So much so, this award makes me want something sweet!
