Wallpaper I Wouldn't Mind Having

The trends of wallpaper come and go but there are some styles that I feel like stick around really well and I could imagine having in my own home:

If the pattern is busy, I'd say go with a neutral color way or only one wall.

Classic patterns, like the diamonds above or the stripes below, are a surefire and chic way to go.

Going with neutral colors or a simple print like stripes is a great choice for something that can last a a long time in a home and potentially resell just fine!

Prints that seem to stick around are another option. There are always those few that don't seem to ever go out of style. Floral trellises are one example.

If you know you are going to be in the home you are in go with something you love! My suggestion would be to pick something you know you will still love years down the road, like a print you've always adored, since changing up wallpaper isn't as easy.

Dark Bathrooms - What do you think?

I feel that over the past couple of years I've been seeing more and more dark bathrooms.  It definitely creates a feeling that's elegant and chic, but is it something you would try in your home?



The mirrors reflect a lot of light in this bathroom.  Notice the picture hanging above the tub?  I always wonder in these situations if it really stays there or if it was just put there for the photo shoot...

Love this one - that chandelier!

I want to replace the vanity surface in our master bath, does anyone have a wood vanity like this?  Does it hold up well?

I'm anxious to here what you guys think of dark bathrooms!

Pretty, Perfect Bathrooms

Ahhh...a clean and organized bathroom makes so much difference. I can never feel really clean unless my bathroom is nice and clean. These baths, however, go above clean by also looking lovely. Which is your favorite?


...sssooo cute! I love the light blue wainscoting mixed with the pale greens.


The crisp lines in this bathroom is really relaxing

A very cute vintage-style bathroom - I've never seen a shower like that!

These yellow stripes are cheery and classy - if you described it to me I don't think I'd like the sound of it - but seeing it is another story!

Interesting bathroom - no? Though, I don't think I'd need so much extra seating in my bathroom

Cheap and Chic - Simple ways to make your home look styled and so you

I had to share these really cute and summery ideas with y'all.

You can create nice displays with mix n' match flea market or basement finds.

A large mirror can act as a light source, and looks more casual when propped on the floor. Flea markets are the way to go if you don't have a large mirror. I found one for $20 once, all I did was paint the green frame white and it looks great now!

Ad flavor to your space by accessorizing to your heart's content. Mixing patterns and textures is fine as long as they color coordinate.

This is a cool idea I've seen a lot, but my books aren't really that colorful - but you can try arranging them by color and turn your bookcase into art.

Single blooms can add more interest than a formal bouquet, in my opinion.

Memorabilia and collections are best displayed all together, like in this salon style wall.

Install wainscoting along the entirety of one wall for a custom headboard look.

Painting a stair runner and varnishing it is easier to clean than carpet - plus you have freedom to do whatever you want! Masking tape is your friend here.
