I love coming across fun sayings on decor items and since it’s wedding season…I think a cool gift is something his & hers. How adorable are the above pillows?

Something like this would make for great wedding gifts. If you can find words to iron on a pillow or decals for glassware. The bottom pic is from @superficialgirls instagram. The glasses are from Furbish.

Tuesday’s Tips: paint these unexpected household items to liven the space

image

While going through Pinterest I noticed trend on my DIY board. There are so many things you can paint around the home…some unexpected to spruce up things up and add color. I especially dig Ikea’s gold leaf transformation of a basic chair. Check out my Pinterest to go to the sites of the projects.

Kelly Wearstler in the new Lonny Mag…

Love the way the photographer captured this. I also like the way Kelly filled each area of wall space with art. Sometimes we feel like we’re unable to hang art if it’s a weird wall space. This proves you can.

Dark and dramatic but seemingly comfortable….

The lighting is pretty funky…

Pretty outdoor setting…

This decorative gold mirror trumps a medicine cabinet any day.

I am just in awe of the materials she uses for surfaces and walls. Everything ia bold and in your face.

I like how the geometric arch is echoed in the sofa below…

Instakrush: The Home Depot

image

Home Depot’s instagram page is on point. They have such a nice patio and outdoor living set ups for the perfect inspiration.

image

I love those planters at the bottom done with bricks I believe. And who doesn’t love vintage marquee lighting signage.

Here’s why I really dig masculine interiors….

image

I am debating on how I want to design my bedroom. It has the Moroccan feel which I intend to keep. But if I paint a wall a charcoal gray, the last thing I want to do is have all dark bedding. So I’d need to step my white sheet game up. I still want some soft and feminine elements but I can’t get enough of the streamlined, contemporary and minimalistic look of many masculine interiors.

image

There is something incredibly sexy about a dark room with bedding that looks comfortable but calming…

Really loving me some lion pulls for dressers …

image

In many of my door posts I have become more fond of lion door knockers. But ever since this post I have been really obsessed with them and want to put them on my closet doors. But after seeing this I feel like I need to add them to a dresser drawer. They just give the oomph exclamation point to the final look.

I even like them on the back of chairs and boxes. Do you like this look?

Bistro & Tulip tables are great in small spaces…

image

When living in a cramped space, it’s often hard to find the room to sit a dining or kitchen table. Often times apartment kitchens are small or galley styled and may only have a dinette area verses a full dining room. So purchasing furniture that fits the space is imperative. You want to be able to move around the tables and still have something functional.

image

I wasn’t always sold on tulip tables or anything mid-century for that matter but over time I have come to appreciate how genius the design is. Having a pedastal base allows chairs to easily scoot in without bumping legs. A circular table frees up more space than a traditional rectangular shaped one and they fit perfectly in any small nook and cranny of a room.

image

So if you’re in a dorm or moved back to the parents home and need a bit of privacy when dining, consider a table of this style. Pairing it with one or four chairs really doesn’t matter if the circumferance of tabletop isn’t too big. Bistro tables typically look great in pairs of chairs or even solo dolo when placed in a corner. Add a light to create a cozy reading nook.

Love how they made use of this space above. This is how you make every square inch count…
