  • Black & Gold

    Black & Gold

    Black and gold are colors that tend to stay in trend. You can’t go wrong with either one and they can look really classy done well. 
    Since black can get dark and dreary quickly, I always suggest a great balance of natural light and/or white. 
    The touch of gold gives it a great shine to contrast the black.

    The combination is also great with almost any other color. 
    Gold pair’s great with natural wood as well.

  • GLAM New Year’s Eve Decor

    While we aren’t hosting New Year’s this year, we are hosting an “after-party” on the following day – my husband’s friends are serious about this stuff…

    Knowing me, I’ll be too exhausted from Christmas to actually decorate at all, but if I were the energizer-bunny type, I’d be all over some of these ideas.

    Love the photos hanging from balloons – so cute.

  • Walls that Make A Statment

    Lately my eyes have been drawn to some great rooms that are making a statement and I am loving it! Whether they are bold, classy, or just downright elegant, it is nice to see someone take a chance and make something beautiful out of it.

    This wallpaper would not be an immediate first choice for me but it definitely does make you stop and stare! Seeing it in this room really makes me love it more!
    A wall of windows is always eye-catching. The bold choice of black makes it stand out even more and I think it was a great choice.
    Another non traditional wall paper in a room you wouldn’t expect! Since bathrooms are small I tend to do with less is more in these areas but since the wallpaper has a lot of white space it really works here! I also like the simplicity of the color scheme.
    Upholstery tacks are often seen on furniture, seeing it as a wall decor statement is something I’ve never considered.

    What about painting the trim to match the walls?

    Or making a small space really pop with a graphic wallpaper?

    Do you have a different idea for a wall statement?

    Chic and beautiful living spaces

    In my house, the living room is the center of our house. Not only is it the first room you see when you walk in, it’s the place where we spend the most time.  When our wedding is over and we have our lives back – the living room is second on my makeover list after my office.

    LOVE the wall treatment in this space.  The crown molding and chandeliers mixed with the modern decor is really cool too.

    Gold is very trendy right now, but I have to admit I’m smitten!

    I love that this console isn’t all about the TV!  Pretty accessories and a gallery wall distract from the TV.

    Bring on the Spring – pretty up your rooms with spring hues

    I am so excited for spring flowers and bright colors that are going to fill our outdoor space so I thought I’d do a post about bringing that color in and enjoying indoors as well!  Just last night sweetums brought me the most beautiful pale pink roses.  Having them on my desk makes the room feel so much lighter…

    Using hints of color in a room make me happy. Especially when those items are so easy to change out like pillows, curtains, and decor you have around the house like books and frames.  I’ve been loving gold and pink lately.

    If you are loving the room you have now and don’t feel like changing it but you want to tie in some of your favorite flowers, getting one simple throw pillow that pulls out similar colors can do the trick!

    If you want to go bolder, find some wallpaper or upholstery with a floral print/pattern. Anthropologie usually has some unique upholstered items. If you struggle getting real flowers into your home, adding a flower pattern might give you what you need for that spring feeling indoors. I’d love to have one of these in my office!

    Love the setup!

    Most often we forget about livening up our bedrooms since all we tend to is sleep in here, but bringing some fresh flowers in and updating your bedding can really bring you into the season.
