Adding Accents!

I’m so glad it’s the weekend! It’s hard to believe we’ve been in the new house, a week already!! I feel like I haven’t gotten much accomplished unpacking and organizing, so that is our goal for the weekend!

Ran by Marshalls today and found a gorgeous selection of rugs! These aren’t the heavy area rugs, they are handmade in India and offer color and definition to your room! I have decided to decorate our living room in an old world theme. The main color will be natural hues (light browns, creams and whites) with my accent color as a dark, or mustard, yellow. I love the color combination! The furniture I have for my formal dining room is a yellow-ish color, so it all ties together really well.

Also came across this darling quatrefoil rug for my entry way! I hope to get a lot accomplished this weekend, so I will post pics as it happens!

Sneak peek…

Now that the hard part of finding a house is over… Now comes making it into our dream home! Our budget wasn’t huge for purchasing our first home, and we were okay with that! My husband is 26 and still going to school for his Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronic Engineering and I’m a stay-at- home Mommy 🙂 So, we wanted to be comfortable now, so we can enjoy more in the future! We feel, seriously, beyond blessed with the home we found… It was an excellent deal and we are able to put some upgrades in it that we were looking for! Some of which, are laminate, also known as pergo, flooring. It resembles hard wood, but less expensive. It offers a swift lock system making it easy to install and very durable! We wanted something dark in color with a high gloss. Here are the two options we are choosing between.

Although, I like both colors, I’m opting for the second option which is Armstrongs Cherry. The first sample is called Cherry Bronze, also made by Armstrong. My husband has chosen the cherry bronze as his favorite, so we will see what the final decision is! We are putting the flooring throughout the entire house, NO carpet! What a dream come true..

I have been crazy about the quatrefoil design lately. I am decorating my downstairs guest bath with inspiration of a rug I bought from Target! Pictured below is my little Isabella playing peek-a-boo with it!

And Reu and I were at Hobby Lobby the other day, and found this amazing, expensive looking fabric on clearance!! It was originally $16.99 per yard and we got it for $4 per yard, what a steal! We plan on recovering our formal dining room chairs with this elegant, quatrefoil design!

And for today’s last sneak peek.. My color inspiration for our kitchen and dining area. I found this beautiful rug at Marshalls Homegoods, and it was all the colors I love! I am going to use my main colors as deep red, mustard yellow and a fern green. The lighting in this picture is quite dark so you can’t really see the gorgeous colors this rug offers, but believe me, it will look amazing put together!

Be sure to check back often, as we are are updating our new home! My husband is going to be building us a farm house style kitchen table with matching benches, and I will have tutorials and pictures for every project we accomplish! Hope to see you back soon 🙂

With my husband and I in full swing of our home search, I can barely wait to decorate our home once we get it! I know decorating with pink, besides in my daughters room of course!, is probably wishful thinking!

Blush pink is the accent color in my daughters nursery. The walls are a taupe color, white furniture, white bedding with chocolate brown stitching-design, and blush pink accents! My inspiration for her room was actually a beautiful pillow I found at Marshalls Homegoods. I bought it and everything else fell into place! Colors started matching together perfectly. Her room is vintage- chic inspired and oh- so girly!

Get inspired by looking at these beautiful, well put together styles…

This Weeks Color Inspriration: Navy!

This weeks color inspiration was inspired by a new pair of Jessica Simpson Navy pumps I got on clearance at Marshalls this past weekend, and I love them so much! I have been crazy about navy the past few months, just can’t seem to get enough of it! Some of the new navy items I’ve added to my wardrobe this Winter are: two beautiful scarves, my new pumps, a few pieces of jewelry, and a black and navy Coach purse I got at a purse swapping party (it was pretty much brand new!!) A girl can never have enough purses, right?!

The bracelet shown above is a unique cuff bracelet from LaRae’s Sterling Treasures! It is embellished with navy, hunter green, and rhinestone on sterling silver. If you haven’t already noticed, it is a Peacock! One of a kind piece!!

Vintage Glamour

So, today I went to our local Marshalls Homegoods store to see what goodies they had… and boy was I glad I did! Sooo many awesome ideas for the babies room, I can’t wait to begin decorating 🙂

I originally thought I was going to decorate her room in a pink and brown modern/princess theme. I still love the design I came up with, but not quite as much as what I have in mind now! When I was researching for the wedding, I came across the color duo blush pink and champagne, and I fell in love with it! Searching around the store today, I happened to come across a danty, feminine pillow with Isabella’s name on it! Of course, there was no question that I was buying it, but it didn’t exactly fit with the first nursery design. I know, it’s crazy to think one pillow could make me reconsider that easily, but that’s just how I work! Upon searching, I came across this adorable, blush pink, frilly pillow and I loved it!! So that was my focus… the wheels in my head really began turning, and I started picturing this gorgeous, ornate nursery 🙂 Now my job was to put it together!!

Everything I’m finding online is soooo expensive. I’m talking like nothing under $400 for a 4-piece crib set, ridiculous! I may have to end up opting with a neutral color like cream for the bedding crib set and make it pop with the decor! Nonetheless, here are a couple of designs I’d die for right now….http://www.babybedding.com/shabby-chic-chenille-crib-bedding
