Feeling Blue

I'm sitting here racking my brain on what to post and I can't seem to muster up any energy to talk about design.  I recently lost a dear loved one and I'm feeling a bit blue....so why not be completely cheesy and share my collection of Blue rooms?!

Vertical Wall Gardens

So my mom has this hideous cinder block wall all along her back yard and she's finally decided to do something about it! Or so she says...but since she's on a budget we have to figure out a cost effective way to hide the ugliness.  During our trip to France last summer we saw a lot of vertical gardens and absolutely fell in love with the idea.  So why not bring it into her home? I've been doing some research and found a ton of inspirations out there. So pretty!

Walls of Glass

My apartment has one wall that is all glass (a sliding glass door and windows on either side) - I think it's my favorite part about the space. It completely opens up the room and brings the outside in.  Too bad it doesn't look as chic as it does in these homes...

Happy Friday!

It's been a loooong, exauhsting week. I won't bore you with the details but some sh** has gone down at work and there have been lots of changes! I think it's all happening for the better and I'm excited about what the future holds. But until it all gets sorted out I want to focus on all things beautiful. This picture has always brought a smile to my face. Isn't it dreamy?! If anyone knows where it's from let me know...

Office in a Closet

Almost every household has a computer and the need for a space to stash bills and other paper junk BUT not every household has space for an office! So why not jump on the bandwagon and create a workspace in your closet? It's actually kind of genius - all the cords, mess and headache can be hidden behind a simple closed door.  Check these out for inspiration...

Home Goods Happy

I have to share my new found love for Home Goods.  I always thought it only consisted of cheesy trinkets and fake flowers (which it does) but it's so much better than that! I was in the market for some new table lamps and I found exactly what I needed at the local store.  At $50 bucks a piece I couldn't be happier!

Our new bedside lamps! The only thing I hate about these are the large, bulky finials.  Luckily I had simple brass finials that matched the shade hardware and swapped them out.

I didn't have a need for this lamp but I really wanted to take it home!

The lamp that now resides in my living room.

Vendor Spotlight: Hannah Nunn

I was going through my old files and found these amazing paper cut lanterns I found a while back.  Hannah Nunn is an extremely talented lil lady and she's come up with even more brilliant designs since I last checked on her.  My all time favorite are her "Fairy Lights" that can be customized for any occasion - if I ever tie the knot I am definitely getting a string of these! Can you believe she cuts these each by hand?! Craziness...

These would be the perfect night light in a little kids room or baby's nursery!
