Guest Bathroom Inspiration

So, we are doing a little re-model of our Guest/Kids Bathroom. We are almost there!! Just a few more finishing touches. I can't wait to show it to you guys. In the meantime, here are some photos that I drew inspiration from.

I love the black/white honeycomb tile. I would love to have that one day!

This is the basic concept or our guest bath. We are adding the mirror surround, new lighting and still need to find shelving for above the toilet.

I am so obsessed with this kitchen, I can't even stand it. We won't paint the kitchen in this house but I was dying to have teal cabinetry somewhere. So can you guess what I did in the bathroom??

The last two pictures are the overall feel and vibe I wanted to create in my bathroom. Clean, crisp and fun!

Happy Monday!

Pinterest = YUM!!!

The blog world is on fire with Pinterest talk. Haven't heard of it? Go here, and I will fill you in on the time suck goodness that is Pinterest. I have spent countless hours on this thing and don't regret one single second of it. Every night when the little one goes to sleep I plop myself on the computer and go to Pinterest town. If you are hip to Pinterest, you can follow me here.

Not only have I found ways to do my hair, life quotes, uh-mazing DIY stuff, beautiful photos, and hysterical stuff like this...

I have also found countless ways to get my not so domesticated booty in the kitchen. I am an ok cook. I had about 6 dishes that I rotated every Monday and Tuesday night since those are my days off. Normally, there is no way you would get me in the kitchen on a work night because that is the last thing I wanted to do. But, thanks to Pinterest, a need for variety and a need to save some moolah. I now have some awesome recipes in my arsenal and bonus, a pretty stoked Hubs too.

Here are a few of my favorite recipes as of late:

Bubbled Up Chicken Enchiladas

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

And last but not least, my absolute favorite meal right now:

Lemon Basil Pasta with Grilled Chicken

So go forth and start Pinning!!! Have fun!

My very first collection!

So I am not a collector of things. I'm not a fan of a lot of clutter in design but lately I have been drooling over all of the cool collections and displays of globes. Love them! The colors can be so vibrant and they bring so much interest to a room. A few weeks ago I made a trip to Austin and we went to a great little shop on South Congress called Uncommon Objects. I highly recommend it if you plan on taking a little vacay to the Austin area. Actually, I highly recommend S. Congress Ave all together. They have some amazing little shops and the street is packed with super cool hipsters and the vibe was awesome.

But, I digress.

I picked up my first globe for a cool $24 and I was so pumped. Since then my sister picked me up three more globes from an antique store in Dallas. Thanks sis!!

A home for my globes

I need a few smaller globes to fill in the empty spaces to achieve the look I want.

Here are some of my inspiration photos for my little globe obsession:

Have a great weekend!!!!

Coffee Table Books

This past weekend I headed to Austin for another hair show with my sister and friend who are now in hair school. We had a blast and on the last day, they needed to fulfill some requirements for school so I decided to kill some time at Anthropologie and West Elm. Let me just say that the Anthropologie in Austin is Uh-Mazing! It was so visually pleasing. They had all of these perfectly styled vignettes. Much more put together than our local Anthro. While I was there, I fell in love with some beautiful coffee table books that I MUST have! The Hubs and I are contemplating a semi built in bookshelf in the living room from Ikea like the one here. And these books would look great displayed on the shelves!

Anthropologie

You can find it much cheaper here

This book is my fave! The pictures are so inspiring and the cover is gorgeous!

Anthropologie

When I saw this title I was hooked.

This is how I would sum up my style or the style I am going for!

Anthropologie

This book has some seriously inspiring photos and is jam packed with some stylin' parties!

I saw this book at Anthropologie but couldn't find it on their website. I loved it because of the scissors, perfect for this hairstylist!

I saw this book at West Elm. I loved the bright colors and this thing is jam packed with great recipes and the pictures are beautiful!

Another home I'm obsessed with!

As you know from this post, I am slowly re-vamping my home. In this process, I have scoured the intranets for inspiration and have come across some seriously amazingly talented people and just have to share them here with you. Today's amazingly talented home belongs to Kristen of K.F.D Designs. Her home is small but jam packed with big style. Enjoy!

I LOVE the painting she did above her newly re-upholstered sofa. The wall color is so intense and I love the way the white sofa pops in the room.

Her kitchen was pretty before but painting the

cabinets white makes the room feel much bigger.

I DIE (in the words of Rachel Zoe) for this orange stencil above her bed.

Can't get enough of it!

Don't forget to enter the Scentsy Giveaway, it ends tonight!

Love this home!

You guys have to see this!

I am in love with Nuestra Vida Dolce's home. Her living room is to die for!

Her home tour is on Apartment Therapy and you can check it out here.

For now, here are some lovely images from this super awesome casa!

Do you spy those ceiling medallions?

You may see those puppies behind my tv in the very near future. Genius.

That desk is from World Market and those curtains...shut up,

they are such the statement piece in the room.

Her kitchen is beautiful. Can you tell she painted her island a slightly pink shade?

So gutsy and it totally works.

I seriously have a crush on Nuestra Vida Dolce's home. So go check her out!

My Pinterest!!

Oh, how I love Pinterest!!! Never heard of it? Neither did I until about 2 weeks ago. I heard about it on one of the blogs I stalk, Under the Sycamore. So, I went and checked it out.

I.am.addicted!

So what's it about?

It is basically an online catalog of photos that people upload. You can scroll through thousands of lovely photos. Once you come across something you like you "pin" it to one of your boards that you create. I have created boards like home inspiration, lovely hair, things to make, and beautiful photos. You must be invited to join but that is a simple process and you can also follow other people's boards. It is awesome and full of great ideas. So go check it out.

This is a screenshot of my dashboard.

These are just some of My Pins.
