Parade Home: 2018

It has been far too long since my last post.

We have been insanely busy at work these days.

But I thought I would finally share all the photos and details about our parade home from earlier this year.

I was inspired by textures. In every room of the house, I chose materials that made you want to touch and explore.

Thrifty Thursday: Light Fixture

 

 

We recently updated our dining room light fixture.

 

Before

 

 

After

 

 

 

What we needed

Globes

Old fashion Edison light bulbs

Ceiling Medallion- pre painted bronze

(All purchased from Lowes)

 

Total= $80

 

My husband unhooked all the wiring from the ceiling- then put the ceiling medallion up.

Then he rehooked the wires.

Then we changed out all the globes and bulbs.

 

This has has really updated our space so much. I love the vintage feel it has created.

 

 

Color of the Year 2014

 

Radiant Orchid

is the color of 2014

 

 

I figured- better late than never to write about this beautiful color.

 

 

A color scheme

 

 

In the accents

 

 

Use as just pops of color throughout a room

 

 

Why not as all over color?!

 

 

And you know I can't get enough of wallpaper!

 

This color will help spruce up your space by incorporating eye catching hues.

Try pairing it with deep hunter greens, teals, light yellow and even olive tones.

Patone

 

 

As always- be bold and daring.

Thrifty Thursday: Metallic Accents

 

 

 

You may have noticed that, metallic- any- thing- is all the rage at the moment.

 

 

Well if you are interested in recreating this trending look- for less.

Here's what you will need:

Gold or silver metallic spray paint

(Krylon & Rustoleum make great products and colors)

 

Take a trip to your local thrift store or Goodwill to find something like this

 

(or maybe you already have accents around your house that could use an update)

 

Cover in gold or silver

anddddd

BAM!

an instant update and so cheap to do also!

 

Happy Thrifty-ing!

Trending Now: Indigo

 

This regal color is popping up all over the design scene.

As I always say- if it's happening in the fashion world, you know we will start seeing it over in the design world ASAP.

Here are some beautifully decorated spaces with the vibrant color showing up all over the place.

 

Try out the fabulous color in your own home. Start small with a few accents or go big by painting a wall or two.

Obsessed With: Black & White, Maxi & Print

Here are just a few of my current fav’s.

Anything black & White

This color combination is so powerful. It’s bold but yet still sublet.

I also love when there is just a pop of color- like this

 

The Maxi

 

I’m in love with maxi dresses at the moment. Mostly because I am pregnant and they are so easy and so much more comfortable to wear than pants are.
I’ve been on the hunt for cute, cheap maxis where ever I go.

Fabric  Covered Canvas’s

An inexpensive way to add artwork and color to a room

I have three canvas’s I painted awhile ago that don’t go with the décor I have in this apartment. So I plan to cover them with a fun fabric asap and hang them in my living room.

 

What are you obsessing over as of late?
