I want to help others create spaces that evoke an emotional response while also reflecting their own personality. 

You have layers and different sides. You’re not boring. Your home shouldn’t be either.

I shared in my stories what I broke and I’m seriously ashamed. It had to be the one nice gifted thing (in this area) that I loved so much.

The reason I went with these yellow curtains was because of this little girl in this yellow shirt standing in the kitchen. I loved how the yellow complimented the green and blue in the kitchen. It brought that extra punch I was looking for without competing with our busy backsplash.

Have you ever had something unexpected inspire you?

Monday Mind Melt

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We enjoyed some much needed family time and got to soak up a little sun. I boycotted housework and spent some time out of the house with a good friend. I got to buy a few flowers for outside and am hoping the warmth sticks around so we can work on our yard.  The lilacs are in bloom and I am so excited.  The Spring weather is finally here and it’s making my mind go crazy with house projects and DIY ideas, hence the name of this post. I thought it would be fun to share my random thoughts with you guys on Mondays to start the week with some light and fun content. (Plus I love a good alliteration and couldn’t help myself with the title.) THIS ALL WORKED UNTIL I FORGOT TO HIT PUBLISH. WELL, IT’S TUESDAY MIND MELT FOR YOU THEN. #mombrain

lilacs

  1. I made a few changes to the look and feel of the site. They’re minor but I decided to make things look a little more modern. I’m still trying to streamline things and hone in on what I truly want this blog to look and feel like.
  2. Have you guys checked out the new Opalhouse line from Target? If you have an ounce of boho or eclectic style, I guarantee you will find something you love. Here are a few of my favorites.opalhouse findspouf | candle holder | headboard | teal frame | mirror | chair | pillow | brass box
  3. We will finally be adding the finishing touches to the laundry room this weekend so hopefully I’ll have a reveal post for you next week. In case you missed the before pictures and the plan, you can find those here.
  4. I’ve finally got the reading itch again. Do you have any suggestions? I thought this might be a fitting one to start with. (Plus, my home decorator side says it’s double duty because it’s pretty too. Is that enough to justify the purchase?)idaho book                                                                     Book
  5. If you are not following the One Room Challenge, you should be. There are so many talented bloggers who are redoing an entire room in six weeks. They will be posting their week 4 upgrades this Wednesday and the guest participants will be linking up on Thursday. Lots of eye candy for the home decor soul! Plus, I’m hoping to participate as a guest during the Fall challenge so stay tuned for that.

I hope you all have a great week. Let me know if you have any fun plans for your yard or any good book suggestions!
