2016 Archives | ConfettiStyle

It’s hard to believe that I started this blog almost 6 years ago. I’ve enjoy the process from day one and while I’ve found myself getting caught up in the ‘their doing this’, ‘their doing that’ game along the way, I’ve tried to stay true to what my mission was.

My goal from the start was to share and inspire and today that goal remains the same. One of my passions is interior design and I want this blog to motivate and inspire you with your own decorating. Entertaining, whether on a small or large-scale is something I love and I want to share unique and creative entertaining ideas with you. I’ve been a crafter all my life and through this blog I plan to share fun and easy projects with you. And when it comes to creative gift wrapping, my passion soars and I want to show you how to gift in style. ConfettiStyle is a lifestyle blog meant to enhance your life.

So, what do I have planned for ConfettiStyle in 2016?

Over the last couple of years I’ve featured several design series here on the blog and many will continue in the new year. In the Design Chat series I’ll continue to answer your design questions and offer up advice, solutions and inspiration to help you tackle it like a pro.

The ConfettiStyle Design Guide series lets me share my design knowledge with you in more detail and will include topics like The Best Paint Colors For Decorating, Selecting Lighting For Your Home, Organizing & Decorating a Home Office and Small Space Decorating Secrets Designers Use.

Another fun series you’ll continue to see is Product + Inspiration. This is where I share a popular home decor item along with inspirational photos and decorating tips for that item. This series just might make you look at an item in a new way.

I slacked a bit (ok, a lot) last year on my Gift Wrap Inspiration posts but have lots of fun, new gift wrap ideas to share with you in 2016.

A new series you’ll see on the blog is called Behind The Blog. I’ve made lots of friends and contacts through my blog and want to share them all with you. In this series, I’ll do a personal interview with bloggers I admire, giving you a glimpse into their blog, their inspiration and their talents.

And finally, I’ll continue to bring you crafting and DIY projects, fashion finds, easy decorating ideas and so much more–all the things I’m passionate about.

Thank you so much for stopping by ConfettiStyle each day. Good things are coming in 2016!

I spent some time on Pinterest over the holidays and while surfing, I stumbled across the board Pinterest 100 for 2016. The board highlights 100 trending lifestyle, fashion, food and style pins from the most influential Pinners on Pinterest. Today I’m sharing 10 of these trending pins to give you a glimpse at what will be red-hot in the new year.

The Pinterest 100: Style; Game-changing throwback sneaks like the Stan Smith gold toe by Adidas are all the rage.

{I love an old school sneaker especially when it’s been updated with a touch of glam. p.s. After some searching, it seems like this sneaker is sold out everywhere}

{I’m got to coloring books I’m working on and not only is it really relaxing, but it’s a great source for inexpensive artwork too}

The Pinterest 100: Style; Modern “mom jeans” making a comeback. “The skinny jean has ruled denim for the last five years, but this year, all kinds of fresh shapes are gaining ground,” said Pinpolyee and Stylist Larkin Brown. “One of the most popular styles is the Mom jean, a high-rise straight leg with a relaxed fit. While you may think the last thing you need is another pair jeans, changing up your denim style can make a go-to outfit feel brand new.”
