FAV BEDROOMS

I have always loved my bedroom, its been a place of refuge, rest, and relaxation.  I like to make my bedroom fun and colorful, but restful enough I can still sleep! I found some inspiration bedrooms with creative headboards and interesting color schemes that are unique in their own ways.  Here are some of my favorites:

This one is my favorite! I think it is so creative and soothing for a headboard.

This one is my favorite color combination. I love bold, dark, and saturated colors in the bedroom.  It makes it like a cave that I can crawl into and sleep the night (or day) away.

Love the green, black, and white color scheme.

I want this bedframe! DIY instructions over at Design Sponge, click here.

Which one is your favorite? Do you have any inspirational bedrooms to share? I would love to hear from you!

WHO WOULDN'T WANNA BE A PRINCESS?

Growing up I watched Disney movies over and over again, my favorites were the classics, such as Cinderella, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid. I would put on my mother's old prom dresses and twirl around the living room pretending I could sing and would someday be rescued by a charming prince. Well now my dream and yours can come true.

Alfred Angelo has created a beautiful and whimsical Disney wedding dress collection, which was featured on AOL Thursday, March 31st.  He has recreated iconic Disney princesses and AOL has paired them with beautiful accessories. The best part about this dress line is it is affordable (the dresses range from $599-$1199)!

ARIEL



CINDERELLA

BELLE

SNOW WHITE



This next gorgeous dress is my absolute favorite, which is inspired by Sleep Beauty.  I love being different and with its one shoulder strap, this dress fits the bill. To bad I'm not getting married or even engaged!  I guess I will just have to wish for now.

APRIL SHOWERS...brings may flowers

April showers...I know everyone hates the rain and thinks its grey cloudiness is depressing, but I find it refreshing and cleansing.  Listening to the sound of the rain pouring down on the roof while laying in bed can't be beat. The rain is purging the world for new life to come through...plus when it rains I get to wear my fun rain boots!

VINTAGE STYLE MEETS MODERN COMFORT

I came across this wonderful website, Ruche, via 100 Layer Cake that features fashionable clothing that is a "modern boutique with a vintage touch", which is their slogan.  Now I have never been super fashion forward, I dress more for comfort, but in a cute way.  Finding this website has inspired me to be a little more daring with my clothes.  Believe it or not when I was in high school and college I dressed up everyday, which also means wearing heels!  Right now my favorite pair of shoes are my laceless Converses, so if that is any indication of what my style is, its probably time I changed it up.

To check them out go here

  Ruche's collection ranges from dresses to shoes to accessories.  I am determined to dress for comfort, but to be a little bit more on point with trends. Here are some of my favorite pieces from Ruche:

Madly Deeply Yours Maxi Dress

Vanity Fair Corset Dress

Flying Solo Charcoal Belted Cardi



Beautifully Studded Tuxedo Jacket



You Melt My Heart Ring

Four Letter Word Necklace

Chelsea Crew "Janice" Wedges

Uptown Elegance Red Cashmere Scarf



Love Boat Nautical Striped Purse

Well I guess we'll have to see if I can change my ways...let me know what you like and has inspired up!

LIVING ROOM FABRIC PROGRESS...

I have slowly been making progress on my living room redo and have finally found some fabric that goes with my inspiration fabric that I am using for the colors.  This is what the inspiration piece looks like for a reminder:

The two fabrics that I have found are going to be made into pillows, but I still need to find some fabric for curtains.  Here is what I have so far:

Once the pillows are made and more fabric is found I will post again later! Bye for now!

CURRENTLY IN LOVE WITH...

According to the calendar (and not the weather) spring is finally here! Even though where I live its still raining everyday, I saw little green flower buds starting to peak through the ground today.  These chairs by Anthropologie inspires spring and warmer days to come. They are so much fun and just happy looking.  I love how each chair is a different color and swirl, but apart of the same family.  These chairs would look so good around a simple colored table such as black or white and letting the chairs speak for themselves.

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL...

I have been redoing my house, slowly but surely...project by project. My current little project is to find a medium-sized mirror for my bedroom. However, the simplest and smallest of mirrors are way more than I want to spend.

Yesterday I was at Value Village and after much looking I finally found the perfect mirror for only $6.99, bbuuutt... its plastic "wood", white, and had redish streaks coming through the wood veins. Its not much now, but a good coat of spray paint will make all the difference!

Here is the finished product, isn't it beautiful???

CHAIR OBSESSED

I wandered into a Pier 1 one day last week to kill some time and I came to their well known papasan section. There was a wicker chair that I had never seen before and it had a fuzzy chocolate chair cushion. At first glance it doesn't seem that it would be the most comfortable of chairs, but looks can be deceiving. This is an amazing chair that not only swivels, but also rocks and tilts! If you happen to be near a Pier 1 you should definitely check out this great chair and be obsessed too!

Also comes in Garnet and Carafe Brown
