Good Monday Morning, friends!! I love when I get to kick the week off with a colorful, inspiring posts, and today is a serious dose of both.

    Ok…that is simply fabulous! I am so inspired to transform my console table (a boring brown … I’m so over brown!) into our bar “cart” as well actually. Love, Love, Love. Great work!

    Well, this post makes it look so easy…

    I have always wanted to re-do a piece of furniture with an update to color but have yet to be brave enough. Perhaps it is time to jump in and try.

    I love your new little bar!
    I’m so into green at the moment! By you painting it has turned a plain, simple, run-of-the-mill, brown piece of furniture into something that looks unique, fun and very much a designer statement piece of furniture!
    Love it!

WITH SEASHELLS IN HER HAIR…

beach tabletop via the pretty blog

Wandering through blogs the other day (something I miss having time for oh so much!), I discovered a beautiful editorial featuring this summer Christmas tabletop (sounds so funny as a northerner saying that, doesn’t it?)  Since I’m obsessed with beachy themes like this one, I stopped to browse through all the images, and literally let out an [...]

    The tablescape is GORGEOUS but so is her hair, not only the seashells (which appeal to my fantasy of being a mermaid and having mermaid hair), but also the color. Everything about every picture here is just beautiful.

    I love everything about this look!! Especially the mermaid inspired hostess look, it reminds me of childhood days wishing I could be the little mermaid…Just stunning details!

PARTY DIY :: A FAB FRINGE GARLAND!

You may remember a few weeks back my little feature on Glitter Guide where we talked about how to throw a party in a small space (ie, my apartment!) and we featured a fun little metallic fringe garland setup above the bar. The fab fringe also made an appearance in yesterday’s New Year’s Eve outfitting [...]

TINSEL + TULLE TOPPERS!

dewey nicks // vogue

So, it turns out that when it comes to the holidays, fashion is not the only place I tend to get a liiiiittle carried away… Because if you’re putting this much effort into topping your outfit, shouldn’t you also be topping your presents with something fabulous? So, I put together a fun and easy holiday [...]

HOLI-DIY: CORK COASTERS!

There’s something about the holidays that brings out my crafty side – whether it’s in the kitchen or wrapping presents, I’m much more likely to get into some hands on projects around the house, and I have to say… I love it! So, I was really excited to host a little DIY event at Anthropologie [...]

    Very fun!
    I am always doing crafts at the holidays. This year I have crafty weekends, for my friends to come over any time and I have the living room all set up. It’s fun, we chat, drink wine and make fun DIY projects

A SIMPLE SPRINKLING OF STYLE

rolandbello.confetti+table3jpg

This morning I’m off to style our photo shoot for The Everygirl (that you’ll get to see in two weeks!) and I’m looking forward to putting together something a little over the top. It’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to really do things up with a table! Weddings – compared to everyday [...]

    A subtle detail that definitely adds a little delicate something to that rustic table for sure.

    Okay, I give up – why would anyone want confetti on a table? It would get stuck on bare arms, fall on the floor and end up all over the house or, worse still, eaten by a pet. This is one decorating idea I just don’t get. Perhaps one of your readers could explain its purpose.

    I had some gorgeous confetti at my wedding. Really added something special to the decor.

    What a cute idea – I have colour-matched confetti before, lots of hole punching but worth every bit when I saw the end result in shades of peach!
