i am loving this collection of blues, golds + neutral that i gathered together this morning. i think this space has a home-y feel with a sophisticated, eclectic vibe.
what do you think? would you love a living room like this?

adding a touch of [diy] gold
who doesn't love a little [or a lot] of gold these days??
I think gold adds just the right amount of glitz and glam into the home without having to be sparkly or cheap looking.
I rounded up a few of my favorite DIY gold decor from some awesome bloggers that I will definitely be making--
they are all super easy, cheap and a few literally take 5 minutes to complete = perfect combo
enjoy!
now get crafting.

pop of gold
hello lovelies, the weekend is almost here. I am feeling so ready for a weekend to just hangout, relax, and have absolutely nothing to do but stay warm & cozy inside and play with my little man and hubby.
today I decided to add a little gold pazazz to my outfit; out running a few errands on this cold, rainy day I got my boots and a warm chunky sweater out.

accessorizing your living space >>> keeping it fresh
Accessorizing your living room or living space. This is where people will be invited to sit down & visit; where you gather the majority of the time. We all want this space to be welcoming, a place of comfort, as well as being pleasing and inviting to the eye. Here are a few tips I have written to keep in mind when accessorizing your living room.
1. Stick to pieces you LOVE only. Don't go out and buy stuff just to buy stuff-- if you are trying to furnish a new home and are looking for items to fit your home, make sure you really love the items you are buying. If it is just okay-- don't buy it.
2. Buy from different stores & sources. Some people[myself included sometimes] feel rushed or anxious to get everything together and want it all done now; they go out an buy everything at whatever one store they are at. It's okay especially if you are just moving in and starting to decorate to look a bit minimal-- take time to look around at different stores. Go to your local main stream stores- but also check the unique boutique or second hand stores.
3. You don't have to buy things in a "set". I know you can buy items that are all bundled in one- which can be fine, but your room decor doesn't all have to "match". When I say that- I mean you don't need to be matchy-matchy, I-bought-everything-you-see-here-in-a-set-from-target. I believe that finding pieces you love and mixing them together is what helps portray YOU and your style in your home.
4. Mix and match style/patterns/textures. Plain and simple- find items that are a bit unique and look for other textures, metals, etc. that will blend together beautifully.
5. Keep it simplistic. Don't add & add....& add......& add. The more you add, the more clutter-y it will feel. You don't have to add every piece you love, if you love a lot of items and also love keeping your room fresh- think about buying items and circulating through them [keep some out, put some away and in a few months change it all up, add some new, take some out]
keeping with my gold theme for #31days-- here are some of my favorite golden pieces I would love to add into my living room
happy thursday!

enjoy more than just what you are eating
what's for dinner tonight....,more like what is dinner ON tonight?
I guess I can't speak for you, but as for myself I absolutely believe eating with/on something pretty-- plates, cups, bowls, silverware, etc. makes what I'm eating more enjoyable and maybe even more delicious..? :)
