Fabulous Summer Beach House

Check out this way cute beach house that is featured on House Beautiful this month. I love how bold the colors are. It is just so much fun and reminds me of everything that I love about summer. One thing that I really love about this house is that they painted all of the walls white and then added really bold colors and prints. It makes everything looks so clean and crisp and reminds me of what a beach house is supposed to feel like.

Fabulous Finds Friday

Well everyone the new issue of Lonny was released yesterday and there is some beautiful design that is featured in this issue. I've already spent hours looking through it an will be going through it again and again I'm sure. I just picked out some of my favorite fabulous images to share with you, but make sure you go look through it yourself.

I love the use of color in this living/dining room. It's so fun but it's calming at the same time.
What a fun beach theme! It doesn't scream beach, it's classy and relaxing.

I think owls are such an interesting and smart bird. I think I would put one in a library or on one of my bookshelves if I could find one this cute.

I absolutely love that they hung a quilt on that wall. It's such a personal touch and can easily be changed out for something seasonal if you wanted to.

I hope you enjoyed these few favorites. Make sure you go read the magazine and pick your own favorites!

Fabulous Finds Friday- Pillow Edition

Per request I have decided to dedicate this post to pillows. In my own personal opinion pillows are one of the most versatile, inexpensive ways to change your decor. Not only can pillows add class and color, but they can also make a room feel more cozy. Here are some of the fabulous ideas I have thought of on how to use pillows.

1. Pillows are a great way to add a splash of color to your decor. Add a bright colored pillow or pick one with a funky print. Pair these with some calmer solids and it will brighten up any room.

2. For a more traditional look use even numbers like 2 or 4 pillows that are placed symmetrically on the couch or bed. Also I would suggest trying to stick to larger square pillows to achieve this look. For a more eclectic look use odd numbers like 3 or 5. Also try to mix up the shapes, an oblong or round pillow thrown in with square pillows will create an eye-catching display.

3. Try making your own pillows. Or if you don't want to make a new pillow but have an old pillow that you're tired of then make a cute sham to go over it. That way you're saving money, reusing what you have and getting a cute new pillow. I also found this way cute idea on Country Living for pillow covers made from old button up shirts. You can find the directions here.


All in all pillows are an awesome way to add some creativity to any room. If you have anything you want me to post about feel free to leave me a comment and I'll be sure to post about it. Happy decorating!
