I'm not sure I could stare at floral wallpaper for a very long time, but I could definitely live with a floral chair or painting.  A few pieces of this updated floral trend seem very feminine and modern to me!  What do you think?!

20 Minute Mirrror Makeover

Do you have a plain, bare mirror in any of your bathrooms?  If so, you have to check out MirrorMate! They sell custom frame kits that press-on to your already hanging mirror. Their product is so amazing.....it fits any mirror, it's easy to install, costs less than buying a new framed mirror, and they look great!

Current Favorite Color!

 Lately, I've been infatuated with a particular shade of blue. I don't think there's a real name for it, but to me it's the color of the sky on a perfect beach day. One of the reasons I love it so much is because it compliments any color.....white, pink, gold, orange, navy, black......


I first fell in love with it when I came across Blue Print located in Dallas. The store is beyond gorgeous!
