Spotlight: Veranda Magazine

I don't know about ya'll but I LOVE getting my monthly design magazines! They are inspiring in so many ways-from entertaining to decorating to travel ideas, I love flipping through the well curated images and text. Today I wanted to spotlight one of my all time faves-Veranda Magazine.  Their pictures can't be beat and they have fabulous ideas.  Here are some of their highlights...

 Their latest issue-beautiful dining area. Love the chairs and how the designer used purple as an accent color. Go buy this issue if you haven't already!!

Simple beauty-love the settee covered in the teal velvet and the use of different blues with the design.

Umm-need I say more? I don't think I would ever leave if this was in my backyard!

Beautiful home with a twist on traditional. See the mint color they used as their exterior paint color? I love this!

This kitchen is great-very unexpected pendant lights with the center island. I like a neutral kitchen but this one puts a modern twist on a stylish set up. 

Artwork is key for a great space-I love these pictures about the console and the pattern on the floor. Very eye-catching!

Beautiful entertaining! Not only does Veranda show us great interiors and exteriors-they give us ideas for entertaining as well.  Check these drinks out....

Blood orange old fashions for your outdoor soiree! I think I will have one of these tonight!

And if Veranda Magazine couldn't get any better-they have a beautiful coffee table book.  I have this and love it! Follow Veranda on Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram for even more ideas! What do ya'll think? Are you as inspired as I am?

Happy weekend!

Bedroom Chic

Today I want to chat a bit about bedroom bliss-decorating the place where you should feel most at peace can be challenging but also so fun!  I love mixing a bit of the unexpected in interiors and keeping the bedroom chic yet serene! Here are a few of my favorite bedrooms!

 Absolutely love this bed!!  I also love how the designer kept the bedding simple but added some whimsy with the palm trees. Simple white bedding with a Pop! of color.

 Another example of white with pops of color-and don't you just love the way they painted the windows black?  The shape of the window would have gotten lost but they defined it!

 This room just screams the beach, Lily Pulitzer, and fun pink cocktails!

 Simple, yet pretty. Black and white is always a fave of mine!

 This bedroom was recently featured in Elle Decor for its mix of patterns.  I just love the way this designer thought outside the box and mixed fabrics!

 To me-this is all about the headboard! Love the canopy of fabric!

And another design I would love to see at the beach! Orange takes this room from drab to fab!

And now to my room! This bedroom suite was in my cute little apartment in Birmingham, but now has a new home in my fiance's guest room. Please ignore the carpet-we are hoping to put in some hardwoods!  My goal with this room was to mix patterns and color. It is still a work in progress but I love it!  Hope ya'll have fun creating "Bedroom Chic" rooms!

POP! Has a Booth!!!

Hello friends!  I have been working long and hard on acquiring some fun finds for my new booth in Mobile at Five Gold Monkeys.  Today I installed everything!  It is still a work in progress but I am so excited to have a place to put some pieces to add Pop! to your home!  If there are certain items you are looking for, please let me know and I can start hunting!  Happy shopping!!
