Design Inspiration

Last week, I received a new design book in the mail from one of my all time favorite designers, Moll Anderson.  The new book is a continuation of her "Change Your Home, Change Your Life" series, and this time the theme of the book is COLOR!! 

One of the key things I like about the book are the inspirational quotes throughout the book.  These quotes motivate, make you think, and ultimately brings a smile to your face. Because doesn't make everyone smile. I also loved the fill in the blank pages that help guide the reader to what color or colors he/she are moved by in design. 

If you are looking for a great amazing design book, one that will inspire you to get out of your comfort zone of neutrals and add a little color in your home, then this is the book for you.  

Lets Decorate - Gym Inspiration

Last year, when we moved into our house, we had one room next to our downstairs basement that was unfinished.  The room is a 15 x 20 space and we have decided to set up a workout room in that area.  To help us get ready to decorate and complete the gym, I've made a vision board of key things I want to include in the room.  We hope to start on the painting in the coming weeks, and the reveal will probably be in early 2017.  (Fingers Crossed)

I love, love, love the light gray walls with white trim. 

Its so clean and really will open up the space. 

I LOVE the color of this flooring.  

I really want to put down hard wood floors in our gym, and then add mats in key areas.

Since, we are talking about working out, I am kicking off a new workout program today.  I am doing a mix of the new Country Heat Workout and 21 Day Fix Program. I had amazing results earlier this year, and hoping to drop another 20-30 lbs by the end of the year.  I will post about the journey in the coming weeks.  

Have a great Monday! 

Welcome with a Wreath

Its official.  In the coming weeks, Matt and I will be homeowners again! Woohoo!  And, what better way to kick off all the new decorating projects than to start with the front porch.  I've already picked out pillows for my front porch chair and have my flower pots ready to go, but I am in search of a new front porch wreath.

Here are a few ideas I have been looking at:

After looking through these pics, it seems like I like Hydrangeas, Burlap, a Monogram Letter, and a LARGE Wreath.  Looks like a trip to Hobby Lobby is coming soon. 

For additional front porch inspiration, here are a few other elements I am using for inspiration:

I will post new front porch pictures in the coming months.  I am just so excited to start decorating again. 

Happy Monday!
