I hope everyone had a great Cinco de Mayo yesterday. Sorry I didn’t prepare a party post. I have to do better in blog planning so that my party posts get to you all at least a week prior to the holiday. But thanks for your continued support and readership. I love having this outlet and appreciate you for following along.

I love this. When I got my degree there were a handful of other women who were middle aged and changing careers. Some felt they were too old, I felt like if you’re going to work another 15/20 yrs why not do what you love. I knew a woman who got her masters at 50. My sister & one of my brothers each bought  their first homes at 40. It’s not too late afterall, the time will pass anyway.

The above screenshot is from Kate Spade’s instagram account. I captured it a while ago but now that I moved over the weekend (hence lack of posts), it’s really fitting. Most of my decor for the living area is moha hues. Various browns and all my furniture from entire apartment is black. Yes it’s my fav color but I need more color in my life.

So as I mentioned in this post, I plan to spray paint vases and decor items cobalt blue for my living area. But I bought these pillows from Kohl’s, a score for $11 each. (Plus I had a 30% coupon…don’t you just love Kohl’s?). Initially I was inspired to sharpie marker the green after seeing a diy snow leopard sharpie marker chair transformation. I wanted to make the green black so I can have some classic black and white mixed in. My den is off of the living room and the base of that room will be b&w. BUT I am kind of digging the green and the color compliments plants I have so we’ll see. What have you bought that aligns with living colorfully? I plan to update IG more of things I buy and diy projects so stay tuned.
