HEY Y'ALL!

In *hopefully* a few weeks I will be moving into a new home, so to say that decorating is on my brain would be an understatement. When I saw this "Hey Y'all" print on Pinterest, I knew I had had had to have it somewhere in my new house. Is it not the cutest? Even cooler is that the girl who designed it (check out her Etsy store) lives in Nashville - love supporting someone from my own city! Even more exciting was that I found a new blog, which I love. It's kind of insane how many bloggers there are in the world, and so many of them so successful and talented at what they do. The Hunted Interior is an awesome design and lifestyle blog is penned by Kristin Jackson who lives in Atlanta and has a seriously great eye when it comes to interior decorating. I'm considering my pinning a double success!

MEG GALLIGAN'S SAN FRAN APT. ON THE EVERYGIRL

It wasn't too long ago that I posted about my latest jewelry obsession, Margaret Elizabeth. Well what do you know, yesterday the girl behind Margaret Elizabeth, Meg Galligan, was featured on The Everygirl (just another one of my absolute favorite websites), giving a tour of her gorgeous home in San Francisco. I swear I am not stalking her.... but she has really great taste and I couldn't help but share some of my favorite things in her perfect little San Fran apartment.

Well, I just like everything about this. From the large windows to the pillows to the rug she found on Ebay to the lemons and limes stored on the bar cart.... It's just really, really great.

My apartment wishlist: a stylish bar cart and well stocked bar and bookshelf to attractively display my coffee table books. 

This armoire is so perfect with the blue accenting. And I'm digging the rustic looking kitchen table.

I'm a sucker for white bedding and I love the navy trim and monogrammed pillows. That sunburst mirror? Also great.

I mean can we talk about this orange desk, the white lamp, the monogrammed tray? Everything about this is fabulous. I love it.

For more on Meg and her home, check out the full feature on The Everygirl.

Coffee Table Inspiration

My roommate and I have been needing a new coffee table since, well, forever. What we have now works, but I don't think it's necessarily something either of us are dying to continue with. You can imagine my delight when one of my favorite websites, The Everygirl, had a feature on styling coffee tables. I am more than inspired, and am determined to use their suggestions and put ideas into reality! I'll be out of town this weekend, but next week I am going to start on this DIY project. The tables are only $7.99 from IKEA, which is great. I love the use of color in the top photos - how great is the leather couch with brightly colored and patterned pillows? I already have several coffee table books, and with a couple purchases on Amazon, Etsy, and Anthropologie, I am certain we can have the coffee table of our dreams for under $50... at least that's my goal. I'll keep you updated on the progress with lots of pics to come!!!
