There is power in color. It makes us come alive. So when we surround ourselves with colors that we love, it gives us that positive, energizing vibe when we're in that space. I recently came across this New York apartment and was totally inspired by Christina Maven's place. I love that she's not afraid of color and patterns and mixing things up. One of my favorite design tips is that I almost NEVER buy things matching. Like EVER. … [Read more...]
How To Style Your Shelfie
Most homes have some sort of book shelves somewhere. They could be by the fireplace, by the tv, or even some freestanding shelving against the wall. The age old dilemma always comes up: how to style your shelfie. Unless it's a library or a book haven, bookshelves don't need to be edge to edge covered in books. Don't let the name fool you. Nor do they need to be edge to edge picture frames, either. Creating a space that is inviting, … [Read more...]
Family Room Makeover
I'm very embarrassed to say how long this post has been due. A LONG time. But better late than never. I had other things I wanted to share and I knew this wasn't going anywhere. So finally, I'm sharing my family room makeover: before and after. A while ago (the post was HERE and HERE) I talked about my family room dilemma, what to do with the TV, and the big open hole that was the built in media cabinet from two decades ago. Well, I did … [Read more...]
Blue and White Decor: Part 2
Last week I talked about decorating with blue and white. In case you missed it, you can see it HERE. I have LOTS of blue and white in my home. It's been a LONG time coming BUT, my family room is like just a week or two away from being COMPLETE! FINALLY! I started painting it last November... took me long enough, right? Jeez! I talked about this little makeover HERE. That room went from that butter yellow to this blue I'm showing below. … [Read more...]
Target Home Accessories for Spring
Now that spring is officially underway, that means spring cleaning and when it comes to our homes, it doesn't mean change the furniture every season. However, changing up a few accessories on the bookshelves, end tables, coffee tables and spruce up the look and give it a lighter brighter feel without changing up some of the big stuff. So today I'm doing a round up of some things I'm loving right now at Target. It's one of my hot spots. Go … [Read more...]

Luxe Home Accessories
Yesterday I shared a bit of my home and had big issues... TV placement, wall tearing up or keeping as is, but I think what makes a room special are all the extras that was place in our space. On our coffee tables, in our bookshelves, on our sideboards and end tables. They're the little "sprinkles" for our room. Kinda like our jewelry is to a great outfit, these home accessories make our rooms sparkle just a bit more. I recently found some … [Read more...]
Greys, Grays and Golds, Part 2
A little while ago I shared my love for grays and golds with you HERE. I don't know what it is about color and metal combination, but I've always loved it and I think I always will. Here are a few sightings in my home (not including all my mirrored furniture that has both silver and gold.... ) ... a few things I spotted at our local fabulous West Elm... ... and of course some online window … [Read more...]

LOL!). From the beauties at Luxe Objects... bracelets for layering…. cute little dishes to put beside her bed or sink to put the bracelets … [Read more...]
imm Living
imm Living (what a cute name!) is one of the funnest home accessory lines I've recently spotted in in one of my fave shops in town, Luxe Objects (and those NOT in town, they can still hook you up with some goodness). As cute as the name is, the whimsical and unexpected delights that imm Living offers is always a delight and a surprise. These beauties in my opinion can go in any home with pretty much any design style. They're fun, yet classic, … [Read more...]

Right? We can talk more in detail about WHAT ends up home another day. But today, FOR the home. From Target... Seriously, you do not have to spend a fortune to make your home look like a fortune.

It was love at first sight.
This was the first thing in front of me as I was leaving the corridors of the mall restroom.... It was like "FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS!!!" I about DIED! It attracted me like a magnet to metal and I gravitated to the GOLD letters, not to mention huge PRADA sign on the right display window. This new store, only open for a few weeks in Oklahoma City is going to be THE store to see. I can promise you that! And if you don't live in Oklahoma City, … [Read more...]
