Creating a Meaningful Home

Hi All! Hope you are having a wonderful week! Can you believe it is Hump Day already?

Just wanted to let you know that I am over at SAS Interiors today talking about Creating a Meaningful Home. 

Please stop on over to see how I try to create meaning and purpose in my home as well as say hello to my friend Jenna! She is one talented lady. {Warning: You will want to stay a while!}

Fabulous Feature Friday {The Nesting Game}

It's Friday Friends! I hope you have some restful and pleasant plans for the weekend. I am going to be forcing myself to finish our Adoption Profile book. If I don't push through it before the holidays it won't get done. Wish me luck!

Today I have another Fabulous Feature for you all. I love finding new blogs and talented designers around the web. I happen to run across Molly's blog on pinterest a few weeks ago. She bought a 1950's ranch and has been making it her home with many DIY projects. She has such an eclectic mix of modern and vintage. Hope you enjoy the tour!

Loving those dark moody walls in the bedrooms and her dreamy backyard! Molly has really done a fantastic job making her house a home by layering colors and textures in each room. For more before and after pictures of her 1950's ranch visit her blog: The Nesting Game


Have a wonderful weekend my friends! See you back here Monday!

Fabulous Feature Friday {Dear Lillie}

IT IS FRIDAY!! Are you as excited as I am? I have a packed weekend which includes getting ready for the holidays as well as attending a holiday decorating demonstration at Ethan Allen. I can't wait to show you all some tips and tricks!

You are in for a real treat today. I have seen Jennifer's gorgeous spaces throughout magazines over the past couple of years. Her style is clean, vintage, industrial chic and it is Ah-mazing! Every room makes you want to curl up and take a nap. She has thoroughly thought through each space to create a relaxed yet classy atmosphere. I hope you enjoy the tour!

What do you all think? Gorgeous huh?

You can check out her full tour HERE. And her previous home HERE. Plan to stay awhile....you won't want to leave her fabulous site.


Thanks Jennifer for letting us tour your home!

Have a wonderful weekend all!
XOXO

Fabulous Feature Friday {Jones Design Company}

Well Hello and welcome to Friday! Thank you for your sweet comments yesterday on our new and improved entryway/hallway. I am in love!
Any plans this weekend? We are off to the NC State Fair this afternoon. I am excited to experience all the sites and smells that come with the fair. I have lived here for 10 years and have never gone to the NC State Fair. I guess it is part of the culture, so if you want to know what I am experiencing you can follow me on Instagram @eatsleepdecor !

Okay on to today's Feature. I am excited to share the beautiful home of the talented Emily from Jones Design Company. I appreciate all the little detailed touches she brings to her spaces. Enjoy!

How amazing is that old window that they hung on a track? It is the first thing you see when entering her home. So unique and unexpected and can be pushed over to the side for dinner parties. Love!

The bead-board and open shelving really create a classy but relaxed feel to her kitchen. Such an easy upgrade if you want to take out your top cabinets. They used Ikea shelves and brackets!

Love the layers of fabrics and textures in this space! They just remodeled that fireplace and added shakes to the top and cultured stone to the bottom! You have to see the before. Amazing transformation!

Don't you wish your laundry room looked like this?

Love the moody feel of this space with the dark walls against the light bedding. Mixing vintage pieces with modern touches is just perfecto!

 Since she has her own design business, she has created a beautiful office within her home. Emily stenciled three walls and left the fourth for a chalkboard makeover. 

Don't you want to curl up in this space? Just a darling nursery for her daughter. 

You must check out the full reveal of her boy's room Here. She added a woodsy design to this space. It is quite organized for packing these boys into such small space. So creative and fun!

What do you think about Emily's fabulous home? Could you see all of the DIY projects Emily and her husband tackled? I bet not. It looks amazingly designed and so put together.

Thanks Emily for sharing your beautiful home with us!


Happy Weekend All! XOXO

Calypso Blue Door Feature & Paint Color Ideas

I was contacted by Jena from Involving color today to let me know that my Calypso Blue door was featured on her website!! I thought I would be sick of the color by now, but I am still absolutely smitten with it!

Front Door Makeover

Involving Color is a great site if you are trying to pick a color for any room in your home. Jena features all different spaces on her blog each day. The colors range from bright to neutral, gray to yellow, pink to green!

You can browse by color, room or brand.

Benjamin Moore Whale Gray & Natural White

If you see a paint chip color that you are thinking about for a space in your home, go and check out Jena's site first to see if she has the color featured. It might give you an idea of how the color really looks in a real space.

Behr Precious Emerald

I know I always have a hard time picking paint colors for my own home. I have used her site many times to see how the paint color may change once it is up on the walls.

Benjamin Moore Peony

How do you decide on a paint color? Do you use a special gadget like Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer?


P.S. Sherwin Williams is having their summer sale right now! May 19-27th.... 30% off!
