Grieving!

(Image from Etsy Seller gallogirlphotos's)

On Wednesday night we received a call with terrible news. A friend of ours passed away after a very long battle with lupus. I'm extremely sad, I can't even begin to comprehend how someone so young(she was only 27) and beautiful inside out and out could be taken away from this world. I had intended to share with all of you my master bedroom makeover but to be honest I'm not in the mood. I promise to post about it next week! Please keep her family in your prayers, her husband is a wonderful person and Bobby's very good friend. Please tell everyone you love how much you love them, hug them, kiss them! Life is very fragile and short. Make your goal in life to be the best version of your self and appreciate everything you have!

Thank you for understanding and I hope you have a fabulous and safe weekend!

Love, Love, Love

I came across this new prints via made by girl and I LOVE them! I love Jennifer's sense of style and her work! I decided to get both prints for our entrance, which I'm currently working on. Are you surprised I'm not done working on our home? I didn't think so because neither are you. So what do you think? Do you love typography as much as I do?

Have an awesome Thursday!!!

When I found this images via style me pretty, I was in heaven. Take a virtual tour of the most adorable cupcake stand in the world!!!!

Ikea Rast Reveal at last!

This was a project I had been wanting to complete since we moved, that was five months ago! The Ikea Rast night stands are versatile and relatively inexpensive. I had used them before in a little girl's room and I love the way they turned out! I wanted a mid century modern feel and I'm thrilled with they way they turned out. I'm posting this picture with a bare window since I plan to post my master bedroom reveal later this week and I want for the before and after to be much more dramatic. If you have any questions on instructions, please email me and I will be more than happy to help! The handles are from Ikea as well, see here. Stay tuned! A lot more design goodness will follow.

Ikea Bookshelves are finally up!!!

I'm extremely happy with the way the shelves turned out. I swear Bobby is a saint after all of the projects he helped me complete on Sunday! More on that later. After reading all of your comments on the Expedit bookshelf and the Lack bookshelf from Ikea, I decided to go a different route. As you can see from the pictures, this area of the home doesn't have a lot of space and either bookshelf would have taken up way too much space. While browsing at Ikea, I came across this shelves and decide they were the best solution to my problem. I love how they the fill the space, although I'm not done accessorizing, I'm pretty please with the end result.....for now at least. What do you think? Do you like the way it turned out? and please be kind, Bobby will be reading your comments and his feelings will be hurt! lol
