I love me some bedrooms with lots of white but in addition to some colorful and feminine details. What do you think? Need some examples?

Better Homes and Gardens I’m swooning!
Say that five times fast! I have been dreaming of these new favorites of mine. They are flowers called ranunculus which looks sort of like a peony but with more petals tightly packed together. They are described here as being “a small camellialike bloom that ranges in color from red to yellow to pink and white and grows here in the Western United States during springtime.” I’m usually out of the loops, so I’m guessing many of you have heard of these flowers, but if you have not, check out these gorgeous pictures!

Over the weekend, I went to the state dance competition to support my old high school’s dance team. I was on the dance team in high school and made it to state my senior year. Dancing at state was one of the best days of my life. For me, dance entered my life and quickly entered my heart. It was a rigorous sport (yes, it is a sport – I will challenge anyone to that, so please don’t even get me started on it) but it was also an art in that it invaded my very being. I have never been the same since. I still go to as many competitions as possible to not only support the team but to immerse myself in something I am still incredibly passionate about. There really is something so captivating about dancing that lifts a person’s soul in the way that most daily tasks cannot. The mixture of movement, rhythm, and music seeps into one’s blood and makes them float across the floor. Performing was my favorite, which is odd to me, because I do not normally like to be the center of attention. When I was on the floor, something in me burned Continue reading Obsession Alert: Art is Dance, Dance is Art Earlier this week, I posted about my thrifty finds I purchased while doing some shopping at consignment stores. My favorite stop was at an amazing consignment store selling furniture, purses, clothing, and home accessories called Kismet Consignment* located in Rochester, MN. If you live in the area, you must check out this store if you haven’t yet. My mom scored two large framed beveled mirrors for About $70 for the pair – what a deal! The reason I’m sharing this is because I found an incredible piece of furniture there that I’m now obsessed with. It was a tall dresser with two smaller drawers on top separated by a slab of marble with a small mirror in the middle. My mom and I believe it had been a man’s dresser where he would keep his watch and would wash his hands and face in the morning in a washbowl. I have no need for this kind of furniture (or any furniture for that matter) right now, but, you know me – I sure am dreaming about it! If you have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I like vintage/antique pieces mixed in with more modern ones. I Continue reading Obsession Alert: Antique Dressers Like many children of great cooks, I grew up in my kitchen. My mom would cook and I would either help her or sit at the counter and talk and talk until meals were served. I have spent more hours in the kitchen than probably any other room in my house growing up. The saying was true in my house that the kitchen is the heart of the home. Along with spending lots of time in the kitchen, I have been obsessed with decorating and house-related things since “Mama” and “Dada” came pouring out of my mouth. I have spent many years of my life planning out what my future home would look like, and most importantly, what kind of cabinets I would have in my kitchen. My mom has always loved deep cherry cabinets in kitchens, so that is what I am used to. They bring warmth into the room and are also very classy and elegant. I have spent a good amount of my teenage years bashing white cabinets for being “too cold” and “sterile” while my mom told me that while she wouldn’t have them herself, she could see why people would like them. She also would Continue reading Kicking Myself Over A White Kitchen  |
