Prepping for Spring with Global Views!

FREE IMAGES

Global Views is showing off their new spring line and I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite choices they have:

These rocky block vases are my favorite! The help bring the outdoors in and provide a space to add a little greenery inside as well. 

These Free formed Lily plates are stunning!

This Poppy Pod Sculpture is elegant and a great way to add a pop of gold into your decor.

Another vase that's so elegant and chic! These branch bud's would be adorable for individual place settings.

Tie to together with this nickel twig bowl for a great centerpiece.

I love decor that can double as storage! Check out these gorgeous marble petal bowels. You can own any of these beautiful items thanks to global views!

Which one do you like the most?

Kitchen Trends

FREE IMAGES Some of my favorite kitchen trends seem to come and go, but most of them always come back! Here are a few things my dream kitchen must have:

A must have is an island! I absolutely love the thought of an island in a kitchen, and especially one that stands out a little like this with the dark wood counter top.

There's something about a farmhouse sink that makes me smile. I love under mounted sinks to begin with but I love the function of them as well as the look!

Another must have is a large gorgeous hood! I may not be a professional cook but in my dream kitchen there would be a large hood that makes a statement.

And last but not least, a must have is great storage! There's no point in having a luxurious kitchen if I can't easily find everything I need. 

Must Haves for My Desk

FREE IMAGES It doesn't matter how many times I clean off my desk and try to remove the clutter, there are always some desk must haves that stick around. Here are a few of my essentials to keep me going:

A cute pencil/pen holder is a must have. I need easy access to write or sketch out my thoughts and something simple like this is a perfect match for my desk.

Although I love sticky notes, sometimes the clutter of sticky notes everywhere gets on my last nerves! Having on spot to jot all my notes down is much easier for me, especially when I can close the notebook for the day and have a pretty cover to look at!

With most of my schedule and events kept in google calendar it's not as necessary for me to have a place to write down what I need to do on a calendar but I love having one to look at just as a reference. I think sometime's I'd be lost if I didn't have a calendar staring at me!

And last but not least, I need something pretty to look at! Since I spend most of my days at my desk, I need it to be a spot that I love to be at. Sometimes it's a picture, a plant, or even something as simple as a fun lamp. Anything to make me smile while I'm in the middle of working. I always have pictures of the pups in my life on pretty gold frames on my desk. You never know where your inspiration will come from.

The desk itself matters too.  I like a lot of clear surface space.
