Hello beautiful ♥ Happy Friday!! I’m so thrilled it’s the weekend! I’m looking forward to spending time with my hubby and family! Do you have anything fun planned? Have your little one’s started back to school yet? Mine go back Tuesday. Did you get the chance to check out the free printable I made for the first day of school? Don’t miss it 😉

I’m still obsessing over my office design. I am just itching to get it started!!! I’m still not 100% back on my feet from spraining my ankle, so I’m taking it slow. I’m gathering as much inspiration as I can! I am goo-goo for gold! That is one of the must-haves in my design!

I have completely been crushing on gold lately! So that’s what I’m sharing this week! Let’s get to it!!

1. I adore wearing sweaters in Winter! This year I have a few really cute statement sweaters that are not only comfy and warm, but super adorable! However, I only have one sweater that has elbow patches, and it’s not this cute!! I don’t know what it is about elbow patches, but I love them ♥ Especially these ones pictured, they’re sparkly! I have found numerous tutorials on Pinterest for adding your own elbow patches, I may make this an upcoming project 😉
2. This gold accent wall is fabulous! The perfect addition to this simple office. It also looks quite charming with the light grey wall next to it, which is perfect so you can mix metallics! I’m really, really into mixing metallics right now! Gold is making a come back, it’s no longer a thing of the past and I love it!
3. These pillows are fabulous!! They would be perfect in a feminine office and fantastic as a gift idea! These are available via an Etsy shop and she has a lot of darling, easily customizable pieces so be sure to check them out! I really love these, I see a DIY pillow cover post coming soon 😉
4. I need this clutch! My husband probably wouldn’t agree with that haha, by looking in my closet it doesn’t look like I need much of anything! But this is such a gorgeous statement piece! Especially paired with a solid outfit, it makes the perfect statement! I found some similiar here, here and here!

It’s F-R-I-D-A-Y, yeahh!

Thanks for starting your weekend here with me 🙂

This weeks inspiration is from a little metallic love!

Do you mix silver and gold when decorating? Maybe this will inspire you to 😉

1. I tend to mix small bits of gold into my, normally all silver decor! It gives it a little pop with little effort! I love this gorgeous living room design mixed with the perfect display of silvers and golds. Some people are afraid that the color will clash, but if you do it subtly it can really wow! This room dons silver and mirrored accents, paired beautifully with gold side tables and frames!

2. I love this idea of dressing up walls for like your formal dining room! Take a 1×6 wood plank and wrap it in metallic grasscloth. It looks expensive, eye-catching and gorgeous! This would also be beautiful in a glamorous-style office!

3. Add metallics with small pieces of decor, like pillows! I love this sequin, glamorous pillow! Not to mention that gorgeous Louis chair and fur throw! I love love love how timeless this looks!

4. Gold chevron wallpaper, enough said!! Adding this to your space will dress it up easily and pair it with silver and coral decor for the perfect pop! This specific wallpaper is no longer available from Urban Outfitters but you can find comparable here and here.

Happy weekend 🙂

This week, my favorite pins are all glamorous- inspired!

I tend to like a variety of designs and decor, but when it comes down to it, glam is my fave!

Enjoy!

1. Oh, the days of when I could actually have a white couch and keep it clean! Maybe when the kids are all grown up and out of the house, I can use my white slipcover! Anywho, I think this room is stunning. The matching mirrors, along with the ceilings, make the room appear spacious and open. I’m so crazy about fancy chandeliers and this one is just fantastic! The gold furniture, fresh flowers and blush pink accents sort of win me over too 😉

2. My goodness, I can only dream of having an outdoor space that looks like this! It is absolutely wonderful <3 nbsp="" p="">

3. Mirror, mirror on the wall… You make the room appear endless! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find the original source of this picture, so I’m not sure on the size of the room, but if you have a small space and want to stage it to appear larger than, just add mirrors! They add depth and character to any space and I love the variety that they used here.

4. Now this is a glam office space! We still haven’t finished the basement yet, so I still haven’t got to start designing and decorating my office yet, but when I do, I think I’m leaning more towards glam-chic! I love the clean lines, sparkles, whites and grays and pinks! I could certainly create a few masterpieces with an office space like this, couldn’t you?! (wink) 😉

More Navy Inspiration- – Shoes!

Shoes are one of the best accessories for your outfit. Are you a flats or heels type of girl?! I’m so used to wearing flats now that’s its hard for me to wear heels, but I still love them! I walk around the house in them so I can start wearing them out again without my feet killing me (haha)! Especially lugging two kids around, I have to be comfortable! I posted a picture yesterday of my new navy pumps, check out some more adorable navy shoes!!

Soo many endless options 🙂

If you are preparing for your wedding, using your shoes as your “something blue” would be a great idea! Navy as one of your wedding colors would be stunning! Try pairing it with gold and ivory, or cranberry!

More Gorgeous Gold…

I am coming to like gold more and more! I love to accent the house with it. Ornate picture frames mirrors, vases and such, give your decorating a beautiful touch! I love the looks of pairing earthy tones with gold! For wedding colors, I really like gold, plum purple and off-white. In order for gold to not look tacky, use it sparingly. Use it the right way, and it looks very rich and warm. What are some of your favorite way to incorporate gold into your style.. Home decor, fashion, wedding?

I love

Here is an example of the gold and plum purple wedding combo

This Weeks Color Inspiration: Gold!

January 12, 2012 by Fotini Filed Under: classic color, color inspiration, gold, gold accent, Pinterest, rose gold, sparkle, wedding cake 3 Comments

Gold is such a classic color that has been popular for so many years. I tend to be more of a white gold person, myself, but I do switch it up every now and again with a little bit of gold. Gold makes a great accent for decor, despite the use of silver. I have most of my house decorated in silver and stainless steel, but I have a few gold accents, such as, mirrors and vase pieces. It really gives the room a little bit of dimension and warmth! Take a look at some of these great gold finds, I’ve found on Pinterest!

Peacock Wedding Theme!!

Right now I am totally into Peacock anything! I really love Navy this season, and of course glamor!! How amazing would it be to have a Peacock inspired wedding? Totally incredible.. Navy, hunter green, ivory and gold. Check out some of these fabulous ideas I found on Pinterest!

For the bouquet, choose something subtle but breathtaking…

I love the look the peonies in the right and left picture, crazy beautiful! The color is soft and bright, yet full and bold! If you want to do something a little more vibrant and theme inspired, go for the picture in the middle, peacock feathers and calla lilies, wrapped with navy fabric and rhinestone studs would look perfect!

Choosing the right dress for you is key to fit in with the rest of your wedding theme. Opt for something that is fitted for the top half and puffy designed for the bottom. I really love the dress on the bottom left for this theme. Paired with the peonies bouquet from above, would be sure to take every guests’ breath away!

Truth is, one of the things your guests are looking forward to the most, or most opinionated on is the food, aka, the cake! Recommendations for a baker is pertinent. Come up with a shape you prefer, round is my preference, and perfect for the Peacock theme! Be sure to know a round- about head count before ordering your cake, keeping in mind you will be keeping the top tier to freeze for your first anniversary!
