Light and Airy

That's how I'm feeling today.. light, airy, carefree, non fussy, pared down, tranquil... It's not often that I feel this way and I like it, so I'm cherishing it.

If I were a room, I would look like this.... today.

DIY Inspiration

Per my contractor, we're almost at the finish line with the house. The new windows should be in this week, then the refinishing of the floors and finally, it will be pack up and go time. I can't wait!

In preparation of hitting the ground running, I already have some my new decor purchases and compiled mood boards for the living and dining rooms. They are crude and elementary, otherwise, I would love to share them but I'll spare your eyes.

I will be a busy bee during the first weeks of living in our new home. One of the first projects I will be  tackling are the old bathrooms that haven't been updated. I will have to paint and/or reglaze two of the clawfoot tubs.

This is an idea.. I really like the look of this...so pretty. Do I have to use a special paint for this? I'm not sure. A trip to Home Depot is in order.

Also, I will have to make our old sinks look pretty, so I'm thinking of a sink skirt..maybe made from taffeta.

The sinks currently look similar to this:

But I want something like this:

So much better and I would have a little more storage space.

I love the look of this sink skirt and I knew it would be a challenge as I don't sew but thanks to the interwebs, I have found a pretty awesome no-sew alternative. Yay me! Check it out here.

Another project I'm sure that I will have to tackle are windows. While, I'm sure many of the windows will don pretty panels, like this:

I would like to have a little something-something going on with a couple of the rooms. Like a cool Box Pleat Valance:

Again, no sewing could be an issue but thanks to this no-sew DIY tutorial, I'm confident I can do it.

Another window treatment I would like to occupy my home is this:

I don't know what kind a treatment that's called but I LOVE it!

If you have or know of a great DIY, let me know. I would love to post it in my next DIY Inspiration post.

Come Away With Me...

Makes me think of Spring, which makes me think of weddings and makes me wanna get married all over again.

Mellow Yellow

Lately, I've been drawn to all things yellow. It's such a cheerful yet soothing color. I think I'll inject some yellow into my wardrobe and decor.

No, this isn't yellow, it's a  men's Gucci Tote F/W 2010, that I'm dying to have... a worthy distraction from my yellow post. WHERE IS THIS BAG?? What is the name of it and how can I get it in my closet??

So Darling

This bedroom would be a little girl's dream. It's just so precious and whimsical. A CARRIAGE BED?!? LOVE IT!

This carriage bed can be purchased at Rooms To Go.
