Beachy Bedding.

I received some source requests for the bedding that we bought for the beach condo.  This was a severe case of design on a dime since we are renting it out the next few years.  All-in-all, I was quite happy with what we bought.
Sea Creatures Quilt – $47.99 |  Lilly Pillow– $32.00
Paige Bedding– $88 each (with coupon)
Flip Flop Bedding– $159   | Pillows- Homegoods.

Instagram on Canvas.

When looking for inexpensive artwork for the beach condo, I came up short.  I wanting something that was cost-effective, large-scale, beautiful and meaningful.  Enter CanvasWorld.
Last year, I took this picture while we were at the beach.
I Instagrammed it and loved how it turned out.
CanvasWorld is awesome because you can get an instant preview of how your gallery-wrapped canvas will look.
And there you have it.  I got a 30″ x 30″ personalized gallery-wrapped canvas picture for $149.99.

Can’t beat that.

Some of you have asked for my Instagram profile.  You can follow me on Instagram here.

On the Burner….

I fell so deeply in love with this wallpaper when I first saw it in H & H….
 and several years still love it.
I love it in foyers.
I love it in little girl’s bedrooms.
 I loved it in Bailey McCarthy’s old kitchen.
Not to mention any of these kitchens..
Ok, I admit it, I am in love.  The problem is that the area I’d like to install it is our double story foyer.  That requires A LOT of wallpaper…  and this wallpaper don’t come cheap, people!  Can somebody let me know when they find that money tree I’ve been looking for?

Design Crush: Ana Cordeiro

For the past few years I have unknowingly been admiring/ lusting after/ pinning the designs of Portuguese designer Ana Cordeiro.
 I am drawn to her use of bold colors and lines.
It seems she does a lot of commercial spaces.  I just love how she defies the rules of your typical office design.  Gone are the boring colors, prints and furniture.  Helloooo style.
Evidently, she likes stripes.  So do I.
Her residential designs ain’t to shabby either.
Check out her store here.

The Princess and the F.R.O.G.

A few months ago, my niece Allie emailed me that she wanted a “cooler” place for her and her friends to hang out.  You see the F.R.O.G (Front Room Over the Garage) in their house was her designated area and it just didn’t meet her style.  Since she was a high school senior and my sister and brother in-law would be moving upon her graduation, we had a very tight budget to work within.  Here are some befores..
Allie and I worked around some of her favorite things… Her favorite color was turquoise and she wanted it to have a cool vibe.  Since we were on a limited budget, all of them items were wither DIY or on the cheap.  They live in Chapel Hill, NC, so everything was done virtually.  Here was the plan we worked up.
I received pictures from them after just a few changes and wow, what a difference a coat of paint and some elbow grease makes.
Keep up the good work, ladies!
