Loving this shady blue on blue outdoor space. So incredibly relaxing. The greenery in the back reminds me of this below…

image

For the life of me I can’t find the link to the original post but I thought my idea for hoola hoops was clever. The space above is a more fluid approach to leafy garland.

Make sure your mirror’s reflection is worth seeing…

{Amanda Nisbet}

I cringe whenever someone takes a bathroom picture on social media and in the background you see dirty towels, moldy grout, and on top of it a water stained mirror. I just want to scream USE THE CROP OPTION! And windex. Geez. So whenever you place a mirror in your home, make sure the reflection is something worth looking at. Here are some examples.

Pink Flamingos make me happy…

image

Maybe because my current color crush is coral but the peachynpink hues of this bird has me loving flamingo stuff.

image
This is basically what I think of when flamingo yard decor comes to mind. I think of mid-century styled homes, manicured lawns, sunny skies and palm trees.

image
Then I think of pool parties with ice cream stations, pink lemonade stands, water balloons , umbrellas to hide from the sun and floatation devices to splash around in….

This blue and pink hued candy bar is perfect for a co-ed party. See more deets over on Kara’s Party Ideas.

If I could change 1 thing about this monochrome living room

image

I love the walls and molding details. The curtains are romantic and dreamy. I pretty much like this space except….I would change the seating. I don’t like the slipcovered look and would rather see a creamy tufted chesterfield sofa with two modern sleek armless chairs  anchoring the couch. What would you change?

Spring Cleaning: Style your bedroom surfaces like the Blush Shop..

image

If you don’t have room to hide things and need to place them on dresser or table surfaces, take a cue from how they style. First, you need various heights which makes it visually interesting versus everything flat. So don’t be afraid to add a vase or bust or something unrelated. Use books to give height, pretty bowls, plates and teacups for jewelry, apothecary jars and decorative hat boxes.

image

Second, fold garments like they’re done in a department store. Sweaters are bulky and they can stretch when hung, so  try folding some in like colors. Actually color coding everything will look more polished. Add scarves & jewelry of same colors.

image

Love how they added collars to the necklace holders. Michael’s sells velvet/felt ones for under $12. And they alwayd have 40% off coupons in the paper. They also sell necklaces and fun ring holders as well.
