Moroccan Inspired Master Bedroom

A bedroom for someone who was looking for a clean, but not sterile look with a Moroccan influence. We decided on creamy whites, and pops of fuchsia to add a feminine touch without overpowering the bedroom. I'm crazy about this pendant, I'd love to add it to my own master bedroom. 

happy hump day!

DIY Oly Studio Pipa Side Table

I have long been ob-sessed with the Oly Studio Pipa Table, have a looksie...

Unfortunately for me, the $1,500 price tag just wasn't gonna cut it for a side table. Bummer, right? Enter: Home Goods shopping trip last week. I was not looking for anything in particular, but as soon as I spotted this metallic monster, I knew I had to have it. I know, not cute - but the shape was definitely there. I knew with a little spray paint, it could look like the real deal. For $99, I didn't have much to lose. To my studio garage we went. 

looking good already...getting excited

voila! 

I still have a few things to do to finish this area (style the bar cart, order an ottoman, steam the chair, etc), but I am loving the way the table turned out. Not bad for $1,400 off, don't you think? 

Happy Monday!

Favorite Drugstore Lipstick

We've made it to Thursday! I'm super excited about this post, because who doesn't love a great drugstore beauty find? Recently, I've become slightly obsessed with lipstick (I used to wear gloss only), and found myself super disappointed with the Mac lipstick I bought...I know, I know why would I buy it if I tried it and liked it? Well, I like the color, but I hated the way it felt on my lips, and it had a bad taste (like a lot of lipsticks). 

I was scanning the makeup aisle at Target the other day, and spotted Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick for $5, what did I have to lose?

I found a shade very similar to the Mac color I had purchased, and tossed it in my cart, not expecting much. I was wrong. Like woah, I love this lipstick! You definitely have to give it a try - it is buttery soft, smells pretty good (seriously), and is so smooth on (Mac seemed very dry). I am definitely going back for more colors! I purchased 14, and love it - perfect neutral shade for everyday wear (great for lipstick beginners, like me!).

To me, the hardest part about buying drugstore lipsticks, is knowing what the color will look like ON - why don't drugstores have testers?! But I found this amazing-ness, and couldn't  be more excited. I'm definitely going to be purchasing numbers 12, 7, and probably 11 as well.

Which shade is your favorite? Do you have a fabu drugstore beauty find? 

Summer Blues

Happy Tuesday, ladies! Today, I'm sharing a design board I created for someone looking to add a little summer punch to a sitting area. We focused on creamy ivories, indigos, browns, and lots of texture - I'm loving the look we ended up with.

By replacing a sofa with rattan chairs, layering rugs, and adding new throw pillows, a space can be quickly transformed for the season. I absolutely love this laid-back look, and wish I could transition my living space for summer, how about you? If you're on a tighter budget, simply switching up your throw pillows is a great way to change the look of an entire room. Mix and match pillows are my favorite - just be sure to choose patterns of different sizes, and a color pallet that is easy on the eyes. 

What is your favorite way to 'summer-ize' your home? 

Designer Crush: Emily Henderson

I recently stumbled upon Emily Henderson's blog, and fell in love. How did I not know about this amazing lady?! I have no idea. I mean, I do watch every HGTV show ever created...but somehow, missed her in the shuffle that is my life. I was instantly drawn to her eclectic design style, and agree with her philosophy that you should design your home for YOU, not for others, or for what you think it is 'supposed' to look like. Take a look at some of my favorite spaces from her portfolio...
