Issue #9 of Est Magazine is out and it’s GOOD!! They have several house tours that I cannot get enough of. You will get plenty of decor inspiration in this latest issue! This wardrobe (above) alone is sending me into decor heaven!








Read the entire issue here.

If you are wanting to add a little gold to your home, here are 3 inspiring ideas. The dipped legs and wall decor are more temporary solutions. The gold coffee table is a more permanent piece and so so cool.

Happy Monday!
Today my kids and I are visiting my Grandma in Oregon. She’s had some complications the last few months which has landed her in the hospital. She is one of my absolute favorite human beings. Her stubbornness and tenacity for life is something not to mess with. Through the ups and downs of life, she has stayed as stable as a rock. I’ve gleaned from her my whole life.
I’ll be back tomorrow with some awesome decor inspiration!

Lately on Instagram… I installed a new design from FLOR yesterday in my living room. Eden very much approved it.

This last weekend Vanessa De Vargas and Jordan Cappella were in town for the Chair Affair. Of course we had to do a little thrifting while they were here. Vanessa spotted the chair above for me. I looooovvvve it.

I’m working with Wedding Chicks on a bedroom re-do with co-creator and owner of bedroom, Jocey. It’s looking awesome! You’ll see some fantastic Serena and Lily pieces throughout the space.

I’ve been visiting Home Depot alot this last week. It could quite possibly be record numbers for me. Wearing glitter shoes is the perfect ensamble for Home Depot. Right??

Do you Vine? Me too! Here I am!

This kitchen, captured by photographer Alexander James, has received alot of attention on my Pinterest. I can see why! It’s the perfect combo of classic and modern. The flooring is breathtaking! And the combination of the floors with the eating area furniture is truly beautiful. I’m not a huge fan of upper cabinetry, unless you absolutely need it for storage. So of course I invision this kitchen a little more open. But besides that detail, I’m in love! Below is an easy and budget friendly way of receiving this look.

When you come visit Boise, (yes, you should. you would love it.) you need to stay at The Modern Hotel. It’s one of my favorite spots in the city. Designed by architectural designer, Dwaine Carver, this hotel meets every modernists needs. The rooms are stunning, the lobby is quaint and cozy and the bar/dining area is perfection. I was there this last weekend and snapped this images of the dining area. You see Cherner Side Chairs cozied up with custom booths. And that paneled wall looks amazing against the opposing white wall. Love it all!

I have found my new summer decor staple! These mini planters from Wind and Willow Home are a perfect accessory for just about anywhere. I displayed mine on my mantle. They hold 4 mini succulents in a variety of shapes and colors. They add the perfect amount of green to that area. I’m also considering ordering a few more to have them on hand for summer parties. They would make a perfect center piece to any table.
Shop these here.




These spaces, designed by Mim Design, are delightfully cool. I’m loving the color that’s weaved into each space. And that kitchen!!!

Sometimes when searching the web for design and decor, I come across items that I just can’t get enough of. Above is some of those finds. The furniture is on the higher end so I paired it with reasonable accessories. I’m also loving how the yellows and pinks are looking together.
Maserati Lounge Chair, Flamingo No. 1, Gradient Candle, Paulina Reyes Pillow for West Elm, Famechon Sofa.



Our house has poor storage space options so I’m always on the lookout for new buffets, dressers and other stylish options for storage. These 3 pieces inspire me to no end. Each have specific stories to tell. I would literally take all 3 if given the oppurtunity!

Happy Sunday, friends!! This is a fun day for me, being able to show you my bedroom makeover. I mentioned to you this past week (check out my post here) that I partnered with Sherwin Williams again for National Painting Week. This year I chose to focus on my bedroom and give it fresh coat of color. I love the result!

Before, the bedroom was painted in a white/mint hue. It worked for us but after awhile I wanted a change. A dramatic change.

I chose to paint just one wall, my bed wall, in Rock Bottom, a super deep charcoal. It instantly gave my bedroom a different feel. I use mostly white bedding so I wanted to create a dramatic contrast. Also, I used Sherwin Williams Emerald paint, which covered quite nicely. We used just under 2 gallons for this project.

I’m on a major brass and gold kick and the combo of gold and charcoal is flooring me! Knowing myself, I might be talking several clients into this look.


I chose not to use a headboard. The wall itself is my giant headboard and I love the simplicity of it all. Sometimes too much can take away from a space.

So there you have it! Thanks Sherwin Williams for inspiring us all to add new life into our homes by a simple coat of paint.
Head over to Curbly today to see what paint project they’ve created! And check out yesterdays projects from The Decorista and The City Sage. Also get a sneak peek of all 14 paint projects over on Huffington Post. AND the Sherwin-Williams National Painting Week SuperSale started yesterday and goes through April 22nd. It will offer 40% off paints and stains and 30% off painting supplies.
This post is brought to you by Sherwin Williams. All opinions are completely mine.

Happy Friday friends! I’m checking out BUT will be back on SUNDAY for my Sherwin Williams National Painting Week reveal of my bedroom! So COME BACK! I think you’ll like it.
I leave you with these paintings from one of my favorite artists, Kirra Jamison. She’s absolutely amazing. One day I hope to have one of her pieces in my home.

It’s no secret that I love pillows! Especially colorful pillows. It’s the easiest and best way to change up a room. I’m in love with these multi-textured and multi-colored pillows by Juliette Beaupin. They’ve been named DAN and are handmade in Juliette’s parisian studio.


Juliette also carries chairs and gifts. I LOVE everything!
