Weekend Wrap Up: Vol. 4

May 26, 2018

Greetings friends!! I hope you enjoy the long weekend and dodge the rainy weather that’s plaguing most of the country this weekend.

As you read this, the hubs and I are in Florida getting ready to set sail on our cruise. I’m so excited for a little down time with friends. While I’m soaking up the sun, I hope you have an amazing weekend and find a little time to enjoy the roundup of links I have for you.

Bon Voyage!

OMG! This Highlands, North Carolina home designed by Carole Weaks is breathtaking. As you scroll, pay attention to all the little details that make the rooms special.

I’ve been struggling with an over flowing to-do list so I’m going to give The Big Three a try.

Such a brilliant (and inexpensive) Ikea DIY hack.

This is the next book I’m going to purchase. If the cover is any indication, it’s going to be fun.

So many cute things in the new Hearth & Hand Collection at Target. This tumbler, this umbrella stand and these adorable serving trays are my top picks.

H anyone tried Amazon’s Prime Wardrobe? It allows you to get a selection of clothing and try it on at home before you buy it. Whatever you don’t like can be returned for free. Sounds pretty enticing, right?

I’m planning to take the week off from blogging but will be over on my Instagram feed sharing bits and pieces of our trip. I hope you’ll join me.

Weekend Wrap Up: Vol. 5–Style Inspiration

April 28, 2018

Hi friends and happy weekend. I’m so excited because the weather here in Atlanta is going to be glorious this weekend. I’ve got lots to do around the house but I’m hoping to get outside to enjoy the sunshine.

Here are a few of my favorite links from the week. Enjoy!

Sit back and be inspired by the style of this beautiful home designed by interior designer Amy Storm of Designstorms. I just love the family room and all the lighting Amy selected.

This just might be the cutest fashion DIY I’ve seen in a long time.

If you love tassels and pillows then you’ve just hit the jackpot.

Weekend Wrap Up: Vol. 4

April 21, 2018

Hi friends. Hooray for the weekend. It’s been a busy week so I’m planning to spend most of my weekend indoors tackling a few projects. I have a few pieces of furniture to paint and I’m hoping to get some flowers planted on my deck. And the last piece of furniture for my office arrived this week so I can finally put the finishing touches on my office.

To kick off the weekend, I’ve rounded up a few things that caught my eye and inspired me (or not) this week. Enjoy the links and your weekend.

STYLE INSPIRATION

Once I looked through designer Lindsey Lane’s interior design portfolio, I headed to her Instagram feed and was just as smitten. She’s definitely one to follow.

Have you guys been watching the reboot of Trading Spaces? If so, I’d love to know what you think. I was so excited for the relaunch but so far I’m a little disappointed in the room designed. With a $2000 design budget and more affordable and stylish decor on the market, I was hoping for an elevated level of design. So far I’m a bit let down by the rooms that have been created. It’s only episode 2 so I’m holding out that we’ll see some amazing room designs in future episodes.

Have you noticed that a silk scarf is the hot new accessory to add to a handbag? I love the look and found a great source for silk scarves that are just .99 cents each.

Since we’re on the topic of shopping, you might want to check out the One Kings Lane warehouse sale. There are so many great deals including this pillow set, this gorgeous headboard and this amazing crystal candelabra that’s on sale for $45.

I’m so excited about the new Good Company magazine by Grace Bonney of Design Sponge. If you loved Grace’s book, In the Company of Women you’ll definitely want to subscribe to this The magazine will hit newsstands on May 1st but you can pre-order a copy here (affiliate link).

Tips on How to Stretch Your Decorating Dollar from two of my favorite designers. Great advice no matter what stage of decorating you are in.

Is anyone else as excited about the weekend as I am? I’ve got a lot to check off my to-do list. I’m planning to organize our pantry, hang some artwork and get our paperwork ready for our tax guy (aka–husband). I hope you have more exciting plans for your weekend!
