Brighten Up your Room with ONE purchase!

Tuesday, June 24, 2014

I find a great way to change a room without going crazy and wanting to stay on a real small budget is to change your light fixtures or add a lamp!

In my home we drastically changed our dining room by just changing the chandelier.

AFTER

 Believe it or not this Chandelier was under $250!!! AND if you can get your cute husband, SO, or neighborhood helper over to help it is pretty simple, easy and inexpensive.

I have found some fab options for chandeliers, pendants, lamps and other lighting items that would look AMAZING almost anywhere! I will definitely be keeping some of these in my mind for upcoming development projects.

Headed to the Pool

Outfit Obsession: Pool Day



Headed to the pool this summer? Here is what I will be wearing or what I have been wearing. During the summer I can't get enough of my cut-off jean shorts. and I keep it "old-skool" as in all of my cut-off jean shorts I have made at home with my kitchen succors. Basically I used all those boot-cut jeans I was wearing 10 years ago. 

Summer style doesn't always have to mean maxi dresses and sailor stripes you can still be fresh and summery with a street style hip flare. 

I love wearing a statement necklace with the more casual look too and when you are hanging by the pool and socializing you still look put together and chic.
