Home Inspiration



Whit and I bought our first home just a few weeks before our wedding. It seemed liked a crazy idea at the time, but I was so thankful that we did it.  It was really nice to come back from our honeymoon, knowing that we didn't have to begin the search for homes. Given the busy time in our lives, decorating our house took a little longer than expected. To be quite honest, we still have things left to do. This month marks our two year anniversary of being homeowners, and I thought it would be nice to share a little home inspiration with you. We have most everything we need, but it's always fun to look.

Shades of Spring: Pastel Nails

Shown here Essie: Splash of Grenadine

Spring is finally here and it's time to ditch the dark winter nail polish and opt for something fresh and new. What can I say, I am a sucker for new nail polish. Maybe it's because I typically do my nails myself versus go to the salon. Don't get me wrong, I love a good manicure but when you change your polish as often as I do, sometimes it's worth it to just do it yourself.
 
Many brands have introduced their new Spring collections with everything from bold brights to classic pastels and I'm loving the all. I have been particularly drawn to the pastels though. I've put together a list of some of my favorites below.

Jumpsuit Love



Jumpsuits, everyone's favorite, functional one piece garment. There is just something about a jumpsuit that is so eye-catching to me, especially when paired with the right accessories. I love the fact that you can look feminine and classy and still be comfortable in these.

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I had been on a mission to find the perfect jumpsuit to wear to fashion week.
 

Not only did I find one, (see photo above) I also came across several other great ones during my search. Since I couldn't buy them all I thought I would share my favorite finds with you so someone out there can add one or two of these to your closet!

Pillow Talk

Pillow Talk
 
Decorative throw pillows are a great way to create a fresh new look in any room. Just by adding a simple pop of color to your couch, bed and chairs can change the mood of a room. I am a big fan of patterned throw pillows. If I had somewhere to store them all, I would change mine out monthly.
So go ahead, mix and match and change up the style in your home.
These are some of my favorites.
 


I just love how these pillows were styled in the two living room photos below. These are both perfect examples of how to add some character to a room by mixing patterns.
