Funky & Fun Accessories

Hello, design loves!! I hope y'all have had a wonderful past couple of weeks! Mine were very good but very busy, and I am so excited to share what I have found for y'all this week! Whenever I go somewhere I am always on the lookout for fabulous finds that you won't get just anywhere... And this week I have some incredibly fabulous (and funky!) items that I instantly fell in love with, and I hope you do too!! Scroll through to see some of these fun items, and get the details on some of the rooms that they would work great in!! Enjoy! ...db

I found this a few weeks ago while browsing online and maybe it's my southern roots coming through, but I instantly fell in love with it!!! This is my new favorite home accessory I've seen in a while! An unexpected twist with a delicate print and classic colors take this piece way past just mounting a deer head on the wall. It's something that both you and the hubby can love and proudly show off in that eclectic living room of yours!

Items that hold a circular shape tend to give us a sense of comfort, and these three shown above are no different! I love the crochet rug, the wooden wall art, and these pebble-like mirrors which all add a little edge to the "comfort" feel. Put these items in your foyer to really make a statement when guests come into your home, and to keep you smiling every time you walk through your front door.

These more delicate items caught my eye this week as I was looking through various websites this week. I love how the creators of these pieces took an ordinary household item and turned them into something unexpected. Whimsical decor like this vase and doorknocker have the power to turn your house into a home, so why not try mixing in some fun into your home this season??

And finally, I think it is important to make the outside of your home look just as beautiful as the inside... So here are a couple of fun and funky accessories for your front porch (or wherever you want to put them)! I love that these two pieces compliment one another with their old-meets-new metallic features. The feminine design is also complicated by the masculine material, which makes for the perfect balance in any home! Try these new accessories out and let me know how they work for you!

Spruce Up For Spring!

Hello, my beautiful design loves!! I'm sorry if you missed me last week- I was feeling pretty under the weather, but I am happy to say I am back and feeling fine! My very good and sweet friend had a great suggestion for this week... I loved it and so this week I want to share some how-to's on decorating for spring! A new season is the perfect time to give your home a makeover, so try out some of these fresh ideas and let me know how much you love the new colors and ideas in your home! Enjoy! ...db

Kitchen: A little color can go a long way, especially in unexpected places. Try a new mosaic-inspired tile design with bright colors and bring some fun back into your kitchen! Want to go really bold? Why not paint your cabinets a bright spring color? Pops of color are trending right now... A lime cabinet is unexpected yet stunning and is sure to make you smile every time you walk in!

Garden: Don't leave the outdoors out of your decorating! Plant some brightly colored plants in beautiful planters outside your front door- the warm colors will greet you as you come home, making the best part of your day even better! I love the deep purple mixed with the bright pops of green and pink, and look at that planter! Such fun beachy colors- perfect for the warmer weather!

 

Accessories: One of the easiest ways to welcome spring into your home is through accessorizing... Find some brightly colored pillows to bring in color, liven up antiques by painting them a great hue, and don't forget your floors! Rugs add so much character to a room, and a fun and colored rug can do a lot to bring your home out of winter! All three of these images show how a little color goes a long way in a home... Why not make them a part of your new essential items for spring?

 

 

  

Storage: And finally, remember spring cleaning! Have an old closet that doesn't get used the way it ought to? Why not clear it out and make room for your sewing hobby? Organize it, put shelves in, and you're ready to go! Keeping it organized ensures that you'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for! I love how this person turned her closet into a space that she will really use all the time... And how can you not smile at how charming this little space has become? Revamping unused spaces in your home is a great way to revitalize your home and add character to an area that might otherwise get overlooked!
