Yes, Please!

Good morning!

I'm up early because I have a lot I need to accomplish today. But who cares about any of that because I found our future home! Don't worry I'm going to post a lot of pictures and then you will see why I'm in love. Now if only it was anywhere remotely close to our price range.....

The home is called The Original Northumberland Estate (I can just read that name and know it won't fit in our budget) and all photos and info can be found here. There are a ton of pictures but I swear each one is better than the last.

Black and White

Hi all!

I hope everyone is having a great morning! If you're watching the news you might know that S Fla is in the midst of a tropical depression so it is a rainy, rainy day. I'm glad that I have a lot of things I need to get done without leaving the house today so I'm not complaining. I hate having to venture out in the rain so I'll be home cleaning and organizing today.

One color combo I have been coming across a lot and loving is the very classic black and white. While I doubt I will ever do a whole room in strictly black and white, I do love this color combo as a fun twist in a zebra or striped rug. Here are some of my favorite black and white images, all found here.

I definitely have this image saved as a possible office inspiration one day

This one too and while I think I want white cabinets this surprising feels very light and airy

I love the stripes and the apple green combo

I leave you with this image, which is more how I would incorporate a black and white color combo into my own home. I love it!

Stay dry and have a great day!

IKEA Love

Good morning!

Are you an IKEA lover? I used to love IKEA and then we went through a period where I was annoyed with her.....she never seemed to get new items and while I liked her prices we took a long break. Well, I have to say that my break with IKEA is over.

Here are some inspiration photos from the current catalog.

Below I have featured some of my favorite items:

Kardemumma plant pots $24.99

Bjuron Plant Box $4.99

Nassjo Candlestick Holder $3.99

Kajsa Rug $279

Lillesand Bedframe $179

Docksta Table $179

What are your favorite IKEA items?

Let's Talk Accessories

Hi all!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We didn't accomplish much but that is okay we took several long walks and watched a movie, along with a dinner or two out, and a nap each afternoon it was a very relaxing weekend.

One thing that in my opinion makes or breaks the decor in the room is accessories. I like a mixture of serious and playful items that not only tie in with the decor but also that reflect the homeowner.

Here are a few accessories that I am loving right now:

Basket

Footed Hurricane

Glass Cylinder Tealight Holder

Bowl

Metallic Hourglass

Owl Mama and Baby

Candlesticks

Any decor accessory that you have and love or that you're lusting over?

Have a great day!

Emily
