Inspiring Action

Monday, June 13, 2011

Both of these wonderful ideas were spotted on the blog, The Haystack Needle.  Lately I have been doing lots of "googling" and "craigslisting" as I am getting ready to move into a new place.  First thing on my mind is decorating, second is organization.  Both of these ideas are inspiring both areas! 
I googled magazine storage (I own WAY too many!) and this popped up.  I already own the tall white Ikea bookshelf for this, and now all I need are the magazine holders and voila!
I love the look of this chair redo.  The elegant lines of the original piece are only enhanced and made all the more playful and modern with the new, bright fabric color!  Stunning.

Yellow Balloons

This wedding is just darling.  

Love the use of the big, bright yellow balloons as their accessory as they walk together as bride and groom.
Can't get enough of her cocktail length dress with yellow sash!
Check out her SUPER cute shoes and the bird petal bag!

The Petrie

Saturday, June 4, 2011

I like the look of this room (look at those juju hats!!).  I'd probably add more pops of color to it.  This is the Petrie sofa from Crate & Barrel which I have always loved the look of (my ex-bf had one and I was very jealous!)  I found one on Craigslist and I'm checking it out today.  Hopefully it's on the up and up!  Will keep you posted.  I think it'll be a great feature to my new living room :)
