Why I Love Plantation Shutters

If you are looking to change out your blinds, you might want to take a look at plantation shutters. There are many reasons to love them:


Don't make the mistake of thinking they are just for the outdoors! Although they look fantastic on this home, they have many other fantastic uses.


The are great for letting in natural light, but for the more private moments of the day they close tight so you'll feel safe and secure. 


They are easy to clean, and let's be honest - they look gorgeous!


You can get them in any shape and size and you don't even need window dressings! They look gorgeous on their own.


They are energy efficient and you won't have to worry about them banging and clanging around on a  windy day. 


They are even great on patios!

Walls that Make A Statment

Lately my eyes have been drawn to some great rooms that are making a statement and I am loving it! Whether they are bold, classy, or just downright elegant, it is nice to see someone take a chance and make something beautiful out of it.


This wallpaper would not be an immediate first choice for me but it definitely does make you stop and stare! Seeing it in this room really makes me love it more!


A wall of windows is always eye-catching. The bold choice of black makes it stand out even more and I think it was a great choice. 


Another non traditional wall paper in a room you wouldn't expect! Since bathrooms are small I tend to do with less is more in these areas but since the wallpaper has a lot of white space it really works here! I also like the simplicity of the color scheme.

A Little Decorating Inspiration

Here are five decorating mantra's to live by that I found off of Pinterest and couldn't resist sharing!

1. The closer something is to your body, the better it should be. This argues for fine sheets and cheap drapes!


2. Surround yourself with quality, not clutter. Buy it once, buy it right!

So simple, clean, a minimalist' dream.

3. Every room needs something living: flowers, goldfish, a pet.

We love a white desk + pops of colors + fresh flowers. #sopretty #dreamdesk #dormify @dormify .

4. Honor the acts of daily living. If it's a habit, make it beautiful!

5. Life should sparkle. Every house needs bling!

Starting this week off bright and exciting! Although orange can seem like a scary color to work with, I wanted to show you some inspiration today that might make you change your mind about loud colors in general.  I actually always try to incorporate some orange in my office, because it supposedly boosts creativity! Used in the right way, it can stand out beautifully:
