Fashion Friday Home {Outdoor & Parties}

A little different approach to Fashion Friday today.  One of my favorite things about wedding and party photo shoots is the inspiration I get for decorating, both indoors and outdoors.  My lovely sorority sister, Elissa Keno, recently stylized a stunning Bohemian inspired wedding shoot (shot by the talented Kellie Kano) and let me tell you, the inspiration for a casual chic outdoor space is endless!







I want the table, chairs, china, glassware, flowers, and bunting in my back yard stat! Add some friends, yummy food, good spirits, music and the Crystal Coast breeze and you've got the perfect evening. Ahh, hurry up spring!

Check out more of the lovely shoot on Elissa's blog, Annabelle Lane.

Today it is all about bathrooms!  With less wall space, bathrooms seem harder to decorate.  Particularly on a budget.  Here are some of my inspirations as we are getting closer and closer to closing on our new house (one month to go!).

Friday Finds - Home Edition {headboards}

TGIF lovelies! Today's friday finds is all about.....headboards!

headboards can really make a statement in a bedroom. romantic, peaceful, fun, masculine, functional. a headboard can be any of these things. it can make the bedroom be what you want it to be. romantic for the master? of course. tranquil and peaceful for the guest room? absolutely! (you want your guests to come back, right?!) playful and fun for a kids room? definitely.

Fashion Friday Home Edition

Good morning lovelies!  Today I am focusing on my plans for our dining room at our new house.  

 

Here it is at the inspection.  Needs pressure washing and some landscaping, but the bones are good!  We close in two months, so I have plenty of time to get all my ideas together and ready to go.

 

Here's part of the dining room as it is now.  The doorway you can see goes to the foyer & there is one behind the shot that goes to the kitchen.  The room is 12x12 (!), vaulted ceilings, and huge windows.  The blue is pretty, but not quite my cup of tea. So.....

it is going red! Actually, this Cherry Tomato shade from Sherwin Williams. (best paint, seriously).  I have these curtains

which are sheer and look really great when the light hits them.  (my apologies that the picture is of a bedspread, my curtains are in storage & this was the picture I found on flickr).

Now for my inspirations and wants!

I love this dining table found at Making Chicken Salad.  And the chairs, though I would need a different color - yellow perhaps?  But I adore the eclectic look going on here.  I have been searching high and low for a similar table here on the Crystal Coast.  You wouldn't think it would be so hard to find something rustic and farm like, but I haven't had any luck so far.  I hope to find one at a second hand or antique shop, I don't mind if it need a little work or is very rustic!  I need one a little bigger than this one since my room is 12x12, I am thinking one that sits 8-10 people.
Here are some more table options:

This one is perfectly rustic.

I love how simple and lovely this one looks in this kitchen.

I am also thinking it will be great to get a black washed farm table and a few of these chairs from West Elm.  I just love the yellow and the flowers popping on the back.  Maybe these chairs along the side and some traditional farm chairs as anchors?

Oh, my I can't wait to start decorating! There is also a display shelf all the way around the room.  My scarlett, canary, and shamrock Fiesta Ware should look just lovely don'tcha think?

Do you have any ideas for dining room decoration you'd like to share? Post below, I'd love to hear your thought and ideas and see your pictures!

Friday Finds - Home Edition

Isn't this cake lovely? I have a strong desire to paint my office in our new house orange and this cake from Amy Atlas Events seen over at Cafe Cartolina is just fueling that desire.  When I look at this beauty I see orange walls, white furniture and shelves and pops of turquoise accents all over the room.  Perhaps orange & turquoise org boxes for all my supplies? A nice white cover for the futon with crisp turquoise and orange pillows? The possibilities are endless.
