If you love the Coastal Chic look its easy to create your own weathered wood dining table and chairs. This inexpensive table received a complete makeover in just about three days.
A Beautiful Artist Studio
I was so lucky to meet a fellow Mom last year and we worked together as class Mom’s in our sons’ classroom. Vicky is an artist and designer. She designs many things, but her main gig is designing greeting cards. Her and I instantly connected and I have so much respect for her, personally and professionally. I was so super pumped to highlight her studio/office space on the blog.
Girls Shared Bedroom
My two girls love sharing a room together. I wanted to make it special for both of them, and a place they would be excited about sleeping in. Their bedroom is a perfect mix of preppy patterns and girly print. There are lots of DIY details like custom monogrammed pillows, matching headboards and bedskirts, painted lamps and lampshades, and much more!
Staircase Banister Makeover
When we moved into our house everything was very builder grade. I knew I wanted to change it from day one. The major thing I wasn’t crazy about was the staircase banister. It was that orange wood color that I am not a huge fan off. I knew I could give it a custom look pretty easily.
Inspiration at the Coast
I’m lucky enough to have an awesome husband who talked me into getting a small summer rental at the coast, in Southport, NC. Being landlocked for most of the year having grown up a Long Island girl is tough for me. We spend the week as landlubbers and every weekend head out to our spot. I’ve slowly been exploring the shops in town and finding lots of inspiration. My skin is brown, my Mom game is on point and I’m feeling pretty awesome. My creativity always seems to soar during these times in life. I’ve been so inspired by the amazing artists in town, the little consignment and resale shops and all of the people wanting to share their stories. I hope to post about this little town a lot over the coming weeks. For today, I want to share some images that have inspired some ideas for projects.
Boys Bedroom Re-Design Pt. 1
After buying our home in September of 2014, we basically moved our kids furniture in, hung some decals on the wall and called it a day.
Black, White & Green Patio
Recently my friend mentioned she would love some help putting together her patio. Her house is quickly becoming the go to hangout for us so I emphatically agreed. I literally had a dream about her patio. I mean, it was no Martin Luther King ground breaking dream stuff, but it stuck with me. It was all black, white, kelly green and natural wood.
Rustic Glam Chandelier
You know the old saying, “If you want something done right, do it yourself”? I find the easiest way to get exactly what I want is to make it myself. That was the case when searching for a chandelier for my dining room. I wanted something rustic but glamorous, but couldn’t find it for the right price.
Laundry Room Makeover
Laundry rooms don’t have to be forgotten when it comes to style and design. Since my laundry room was such a small space I thought I would do something a little out of the box.
Navy Blue Powder Room
Navy blue walls can be intimidating to some when you are considering a small room because dark colors can make a small room feel even smaller. A simple solution is adding a gallery wall with art surrounded by large white mattes. Using various sized frames and art can help move the eye around by giving more visual interest.
