Color and Space
Neutral Warm Colors
This picture is a good example of colors. How fun is this blue door? It looks great with
the grey paint on the walls.
The centerpiece in this room is the fireplace. They based the space and decor around
the fireplace.
Good sunny afternoon! I hope all of you, are having a great
day! ( I know I am) I hope this weather makes you take a moment out of your day,
to put down your homework, computer, and life stress events to the side. I have
not even had room to breath lately, with the load of school work I have had,
but this sunshine made me take a moment out of my day to sit outside and do
nothing but enjoy God’s beauty.
Sunshine always gets me in the mood to blog (So here it is).
This week in my Interior Design class we learned about
style. Style is such a important thing when it comes to decorating your home.
There are many things that can be considered with style. First, what colors are
you in love with? Colors are the biggest factor when choosing style. You don’t want
to choose a color that you will get bored with, 10 years down the road. I love neutral,
red, and dark mint. HINT: When choosing a paint color always go a shade lower
then what you chose. Color is very deceiving. Also, when considering style, try to figure
out what you want for your centerpiece, (the piece you want people to notice
when coming in your home). When you find that wonderful beautiful piece for
your home, base everything else off of that one item. Decorating is all about
your style, and it’s very important to know what style you are.
Keep your home beautiful and bright

Sunshine and Flowers
Hey guys, I am so glad I am back in
action with my blog today. It has been a crazy two weeks. Last week I had
spring break, and this week I have had 4 exams, and I am all most done for the
week (thank goodness). I hope all of you have had a wonderful week so far. I
have been grateful for the weather we have had this week. Weather makes a world
of difference, with how my attitude changes. I am so glad the Lord has gave us
sunshine so hearts will grow stronger. I also am very thankful for this time of
the year. I love spring!!!!
While I was trying to figure out
what to do for my blog today, all I could think about was sunshine and flowers.
I am such a fan of gardening and growing beautiful things. While I was
scrolling through the Pottery Barn website, I noticed all of the vases they had
for sale. Wow, they have such beautiful vases, to put those spring flowers in.
I am such a fan of the Irving Vase, and the simple wall mount vase. I love
hanging things on my wall, what better way to celebrate spring then hanging
flowers to the wall in a vase? I will be purchasing these vases in the near
future. FLOWERS, VASES, and SUNSHINE! It’s the perfect combination!
Keep your home beautiful and bright

What Island are you?
I hope all of you have had a wonderful week so far. I am on
spring break and I am trying to relax as much as I can before heading back to
school. I’m enjoying this week with my mom and friends.(Thats always fun)
Today, I was scrolling though the Southern Living website
and found a section on kitchen Islands. I am a huge fan of Islands. I love
having more room in the kitchen for counter space. You can never go wrong with
more space. Southern Living did a cool page, on how to approach your island
style to fit your home perfectly. They had around 20 different Island types. I
loved the traditional look for the Island. Go check out their website and find
out what island type you are. It is very important to know your style before
jumping into building your dream kitchen. Go check out their website for great
ideas.
( The pictures posted above are the Cottage Casual Island,
Vintage style Island, and the Handsome Island… enjoy)
Keep your home beautiful and bright

Sliding Barn Door
Good afternoon everyone, I hope all of you have had a great
Wednesday. I was excited to walk around outside without a jacket. But we all
know that more snow is coming tomorrow (I hope it’s the last one). I had a lot
going on this week in my Interior Design class. I got chosen to present my
Interior board to an Association, and I also started my big project for the
semester. I have the floor plan and fabrics ready to go. I will be excited to
see the finished product. Lots of fun things have happened this week. I also am
going to share to you one of the most “in” things right now with design. If any
of you enjoy HGTV they show many projects that deal with the “sliding barn door”.
The sliding barn door is the biggest thing in the market when it comes to
design. I think it is a great idea because once you have children you wont have
to worry about the door slamming constantly. It is a great look for a southern
home. Once I build my first home this will be a must have. Once you build a new
home or the next renovation how about adding that barn door look to your home.
It’s simple and easy!
Keep your home beautiful and bright
