tuesday huesday >>>baby p

today I'm loving all things pink....baby pink in particular.

pink is feminine, flirty and soft. loved in home and fashion-- pink never goes out of style.

check out my top pink picks. as always I tried to find most things that are on sale...however some things are not, but I was too in love that I had to share

diy friday

happy friday!!

hope you have some fun plans for the weekend, I think the weather here is supposed to be okay [it's been raining/snowing the past week or so:(] and by next week it will hit the 70's!! wahooooo!

for todays diy project I found this super cute and fairly easy upholstered window cornice by lacquer and linen blog.

the basic supplies you will need are:

wood for cornice base [home depot or lowes]

upholstery fabric

wood glue

staple gun

 screws/screwdriver

check out the full tutorial here

I love the final result! so simple, yet adds so much to a space. also it's so genius to hide a blackout roller with the cornice, because a blackout window in a nursery is a MUST. I had to go with blackout curtains, which are fine but then you have to just use what you find at the store unless you are super crafty and can sew your own with the blackout lining [which I am not..]

but I really want to try making one of these beautiful cornices in the future!! good job sarah!

the aztec movement

I've been really loving the whole aztec print + pattern movement that's been happening for awhile now. 

I call it a movement-- not a trend, because I don't believe that it is a trend in the home.

trends are fun & hip but always revolving. you can and should buy things that are trending but in small doses (and at small prices too probably ;)) but back to aztec-- the prints range from super bright and colorful, monochromatic or black and white, to large bold prints, small neutral prints with texture, to so much more.

I am really loving prints with pops of neon color and also prints paired with light-colored woods. check out some of this inspiration. what do you think? do you love or hate aztec print?

tuesday huesday

alright kids-- get ready to let go of anything feelings of gullibility (is that a word?) today.

stay off facebook, maybe even instagram and don't believe when your friends say their pregnant, broke their leg, met your famous idol, or anything else that seems like a stretch.

april fools has never really pulled a prank on me yet (knock on wood)

but I am excited to watch ellen today and see what kind of crazy pranks she'll be pulling all day haha.

anyway I'm starting a new series every tuesday---- tuesday huesday.

pretty clever right? ;)

I'll be posting anything and everything about the color I am crushing that week.

this week it is none other than.....our glorious gold.

I love gold. it's neutral, but adds a pop of metallic in any space. works for girls, boys, women and even men. can make a bold statement or a subtle accent. progressing in both fashion & home

here are my top gold picks

nixon's nursery >>>the wall

happy monday friends! 

I have been anxiously awaiting decorating Nixon's nursery since before he was born, but until we moved about a month ago, our place was just too small. he had a "room" I guess, but it was also where I had my clothes, our filing cabinet, etc. so it really wasn't his room----- sadly. but hey he didn't know the difference and you gotta do what you gotta do, right?! :)

 I was so happy to move and get going on his room (since he was 10 months at this point!). it's not totally finished but I wanted to share with you my favorite part! 

these awesome wall decals I ordered from urban walls

they have TONS of shape + colors options to choose from and the decals are awesome quality-- check out the reviews if you don't believe me!

I went with the classic black triangle. + I absolutely love it!

my sister was asking me how I lined them up so "perfect" and the truth is...they aren't perfect!

I started with a few decals in a corner and measured the [horizontal] spacing between decals, which is about 11 inches.

then I eyeballed how far apart [vertically] I wanted them-- I want to say from one triangle to the next directly under it was about 20ish inches??

I knew I'd go crazy + have to spend 300 hours strategically placing each triangle for it to be "perfect" so I did a lot of eyeball placement and I think it turned out pretty great :)

I also follow UW on instagram, if you don't you should-- danielle is always posting inspiration/idea posts on how to use the decals + feedback photos from actual customers, which also give you ideas on how others are being creative with the decals.

 the decals are so easy to peel + place and really are the perfect solution for renters. but also if you own your home they are great too, for a less permanent wall treatment. 

you can also follow UW on twitter, pinterest, and facebook for more inspiration

I'll post more of his nursery later!! (hopefully it will be done by then)
