DIY California Chic Ombre Curtains

Project Image

This project has been a long time coming. We talked a bit here about how many curtain projects will need to be completed before I have no more naked windows in my home! In other words... almost all of them! 2 down and 2 million to go, but one by one we shall get them all covered and looking snappy!

Finally! I am excited to share the tutorial for creating these fine friends...and super excited to begin sharing the family room transformation that is occurring alongside the office transformation, the garage, the living room...oh the list goes on... we are getting a bit decor happy up in here!

What do you think? Pretty good start, no?

Lust List: Abigail Edwards Seascape Wallpaper

Project Image

I feel like in many ways we have 'been there done that' when it comes to wallpaper and the frilly damask variations of pattern that aren't actually very varied at all. It's not that they aren't beautiful, in fact many are...it's that after years and year of it now, over and over, it feels a tad like a broken record.

Enough already... can we move onto another trend please?

But this... this is a completely different style, pattern, feeling than we have seen before. Entirely... It feels a tad nautical, a tad modern, a tad storybook-like, a bit moody... in other words... perfection! In the words of Rachel Zoe, "it's major, it's everything, I die!". Nuff said...

Thank you Abigail Edwards for rocking my world! This design masterpiece is officially added to my Lust List!

I'm fairly certain there aren't very many of you who can say you dislike this trend, so this is not an inspirational post to show you how to incorporate this into your decor...cuz you very likely already have...

Nope, this is simply to show you how this pattern has been used in so many interesting and clever ways I might not ever have expected, but thoroughly adore!

At the end of the day, this zig zag pattern is a little bit interesting, and a lot chic no matter how widespread it's become! From fences to jewelry, and everything in between, this is a trend I would love to see stick around for a long long time!

Typography in Decor

Project Image

It's all around us, and has been embraced in a major way by designers and design bloggers around the globe. At least for the time being I don't see any slowing in this trend. In fact for now, it would seem just the opposite is true... this trend is trickling down into the everyday homes and the lives of average folks with average budgets. I thought I might share some inspiration for this very fun and fabulous, font driven trend.
