A Girl Can Dream… I’m in a bit of a “bedroom inspiration” mood. I would love to do a makeover on my bedroom, but I can’t right now. So, I’ll have to settle for creating a visual makeover… I began my bedroom inspiration with the bed. Canopy beds are so gorgeous and I love [...]
Inspiring in Black, White & Aqua As you know, I’ve been working on an office makeover for myself. I’ve been working on a few things, like adding some stripes to a bookcase, re-doing a chair and personalizing some cute boxes for organization.

Monogram Mania Currently, I am totally in love with monograms! It is complete Monogram Mania at my house right now! For some reason, I want to put a monogram on just about everything…not literally…but please, make mine a monogram! Monograms give something identity. They add interest and flair. They are elegant and classic. They never [...]
I’ve gotta say it…I love IKEA! I do not get to go there often, so when I do…I love it! This past weekend, my son moved into his dorm at college. While I hate to see him go, I couldn’t help but be a little giddy, because there’s an IKEA just a few miles away! [...]

Nothing exemplifies “home” like the kitchen, and in extension, the kitchen table. It’s the place that we gather and hopefully, communicate and spend time with one another. Therefore, it should be a space that welcomes us and brightens our day. We should decorate our table in a way that we can easily utilize and enjoy [...]
