Versatile Blogger Award!

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

Bobi from Shoestring Sophistication tagged me with The Versatile Blogger award and I couldn't be more honored! Please head over to Shoestring Sophistication to check out all of Bobi's great inspiration and DIY projects!

For these awards, the blogger must:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award &

link back to their site in your original post.

2. Tell us seven things about yourself.

3. Pass along the award to five newly discovered bloggers.

4. Contact these bloggers and let them know they got this award.

Okay, so 7 things about me:

1. I have loved decorating since I was little. My mom nurtured this desire in me by letting me help here redecorate several rooms in our house growing up. Even though my style has matured and changed a lot since then, I really credit her for letting me help and express myself.

2. I have my nose pierced. Most people that don't know me in real life don't know this because it's not very visible in pictures. I got a small diamond stud my senior year of college and have no intentions of taking it out anytime soon.

3. I swam all throughout high school and even made it to regionals. My favorite races were the 200 medley, 50 freestyle, and the 500 freestyle.

4. I met my best friend, Sarah in 2nd grade and we are still besties to this day. We were each others maids (matrons) of honor in our weddings the summer of 2007. Even though we haven't lived near each other since high school she is and always will be my best friend. :)

5. Jacob and I have lived in 4 states in the 4 years we have been married. We lived in Atlanta for 2 years and while planning the wedding and for the first week of our marriage. We then moved to Central New Jersey for around a year and a half. From there we headed to South Florida for 2 years and this January we moved to Western Kentucky where we plan to be for awhile.

6. I have always been an animal lover and have always had a pet. I think I got my first kitty when I was 4-5 and have had a cat ever since. Jacob opened my eyes to dogs and after dating for several years we got our English Bulldog, Tatum (he lived with Jacob until we got married----less than a year). Then while in Florida we got our second dog, a Papillon, Oliver. This is on top of the 2 cats we already had!

7. I could eat ice cream everyday more than 1 time a day!

I am passing this award onto:

1. withTWOcats

2. White Waxflower

3. The DIY Show Off

4. Three Men and a Lady

5. The Shabby Nest

Hope you have a great weekend!

Pop of Color

Good morning!

I hope everyone had a great long weekend. Jacob and I laid low and had a great time! We are still waiting on baby girl to make her appearance and Jacob is getting more and more impatient by the day.

One thing I have learned about myself since starting this blog is that in general I like neutral classic pieces with a fun accent color or non-traditional piece to pull it all together.

Here are some images I ran across this morning that showcase a fun pop of color!

Are you an accent color person like I am?

Eye Candy

Hello!

I'm tired this morning so I'm going to post a lot of pictures, k? At least I'm keeping it honest! :)

How are you spending your long weekend? We are lying low and waiting for baby girl to make her arrival!

Have a great weekend!

If money were no object...

Hi all!

If money were no object then I would have the following items!

I love a Chippendale chair! I would mix these with other fabric chairs for our dining room.

I have always wanted one of these poufs.

I love this aluminum side table

I think this Regency lamp would look awesome in the formal living room

2 chairs like this at the head of our (nonexistent) dining table would look great

I would definitely hire a professional landscaper

A tufted fabric sofa has been on my list for forever!

Finally, I would have 2 of these abacus chairs for the living room

What is on your wish list? If money was no object what would you be buying?
