Hot Trend: All Aboard

Brrrrr…It’s cold in Texas!

The thought of snow this weekend has me longing to be on the beach sipping a mojito. I can almost feel the warm sun on my skin and the sand under my feet. Since I can’t get away…I would love to bring a bit of the beach to me. My beach bungalow is right at home, with classic, nautical stripes, vintage sea inspired accessories, and a classic color combo of navy and white.

 Love the nautical rope knots of this wallpaper…how cute in a small bathroom!

I love the eternally chic look of blue and white with a pop of pink!

Love this Zebra Fish Pillow from artist Jacqueline Maloney! Check out her other beautiful watercolor pillows from her Etsy shop...



Inspiration Board

One of my resolutions this year is to start an inspiration board, something I can visually set my eyes on every single day. I am thinking about placing it in my bedroom so I can see it at the beginning and end of my day.

I plan on going large like Kevin Sharkey’s…

I love that it is in the inside of his shoe closet!

What do you look to for inspiration every day?

My Deer!

I bought this deer several months ago from One Kings Lane…it has been looking for a place to live in my home. I am usually good about not buying anything for my home until I know exactly where I will put it, but he was an impulse buy…had to have him but not sure where to put him. I finally found the perfect spot in my kitchen looking over us!

I love that Stray Dog Designs are made of recycled materials and are handmade in Haiti & Mexico…makes it that much prettier! They also can paint their designs in an array of colors using low VOC paint…check them out!

Very Hollywood Regency...perfect sitting beside the fireplace!

How great are these lamps...love a pair of them!

This one would look good upstairs in the card room!

Typography Prints

I absolutely adore typography prints!!! I especially love the inspirational messages...perfect for ringing in the New Year! I also love the ability to personalize the artwork to your space and home. Here are some I am digging on Etsy!

Photos with Santa

Every year we take our annual trip to go see Santa. It all started when my daughter was born 17+ years ago and we still continue the tradition to this day. Last year, I decided to take all the photos out of their individual frames and frame them in some larger frames from Ikea. I love how it turned out and get to see my kids grow-up with Santa!
