For her artwork and accessories, I couldn’t find what I wanted int he right colors so I designed a few things. The abstract rainbows were really fun and simple and pulled in the theme without being too matchy. I’m selling them in my Ash + Ivory shop for $4 a print so head over there and download them! I bought a few things from target like the bird stature and the white houses. I kept her little unicorn head that I had purchased from Target years ago ( I think they still carry it), and then found this old bench I used to have when I was little. We painted it white and then put my cute targert pillows on them and the room was complete! I love how it turned out and I didn’t have to spend a fortune to switch it up.

This is what I did with mine. I have the 16×20 rails with the fine art print and I am obsessed with how it turned out.

I was contacted by ParaboPress to choose a little mothers day gift and I immediately knew I wanted to do one of these beautiful prints with the wood rails for my room. When I found this photographer Annie Spratt, I was so excited. Her style is phenominal and I could not be more happy that her pics are free! All Floral images are found here.

This post has taken me forever because I took forever to finish this room! Haha. It was a big project for me with everything going on with my family and myself but I am so glad I got it done just in time for the holidays. As you know, I am a sale shopper so most of what I have in here is a good deal. I loved this rug so that was the first thing I purchased from RUGSUSA, it had so many fun colors and it was really soft for Scarlett to play on so I thought it was the perfect choice for us. I pulled out the navy and mustard yellow for the pillows to add more color to the sectional and then used fun neutral accents for accessories.

I then busted out my own simple version of an IKEA HACK with the white cabinets and the fancy brass bar pulls and voila! I have a nice looking tv console.

I tried to put links to everything so you could check it out. Enjoy!

I love the contrast between these two patterns and how well they go together. You don’t have to match perfectly when choosing pillows, variety and a bit of randomness sometimes makes your couch or bed look best. I think the reason they work is because one is mostly dark with splashes of color, and one is mostly white with a more organized diamond shape. You could pull in accents of blush or mustard yellow or even things out with a grey or tan small patterned or solid pillow.

I put this same pillow in a really monocromatic setting to show you a simpler way to use this pattern as the focal point. Pairing with the two neutral colored pillows but in different scales of pattern still add interest as well as give you some energy to your room. I then added a fun mix of artwork with the photograph, charcoal sketch and pulled in the blue with the ocean painting.

I am a sucker for black and white so the simple “x” pattern was perfect for this display. If you are going to do dark curtains make sure you have a good amount of contrast on the walls but don’t forget to pull in the darkness with accessories and accents around the room. I would put two dark chairs and a light side table or a tan leather couch with dark and light pillow, maybe have one or two of them in this same pattern.

I love so many things about these two images. The brush lettering is really in right now and it brings a touch of moderness to this room. I chose to pair it with the floral watercolor because it adds some complexity and softness without being too contrasting and unbalanced.

I thought this mix was really fun because it puts two cute patterns together in a pretty neutral way. A good tip for pillows is mixing sizes of patterns, if you have too many large patterns it will look like a chaotic mess.

For tables settings, I think it is fun to incorporate different patterns and colors. Lots of times they are very neutral which of course I love but I am really into black and pink right now so mixing the two adds some fun contrast of modern, soft and fun to the table.

Ever since I got back from Alt Summit I have been so excited about this project I have been working on with Minted.com. This summer they came out with their home decor line of artwork, pillows, curtains, lamps, table runners and napkins as well as fabric orders. I have made a cute little store to showcase my favourite things they have in their shop. Since so many people ask me about how I put things together and choosing color and pattern I thought I would put some fun ideas together to help get you just started.

I am building my first home! It is so exciting but so scary, I know I will make mistakes and do things that I may not love so I have just decided to embrace it. Because it is our first home I don’t have any experience building and therefore I am asking everyone for advice. If you have any, feel free to share cause I need all that I can get.

In making decisions, I of course turn to pinterest and then I am overwhelmed! Haha but I have managed to start sorting things into color palettes and styles that I would like to use. You will be seeing a bunch from me in the next few months. I loved this particular one because it is deep and moody but very clean and totally me. I have noticed that contrast is an important point in decor. Everything has been white for so long, and that is what I love, but the dark contrasting accent walls and decor are making their way back into interior design. I am going to do a charcoal accent wall amongst my white walls to bring some simple drama to our home.
