Make a Statement!

I have been dreaming about a beautiful statement piece for my bedroom.  A chaise lounge, an overstuffed tufted sofa….  I want it to be comfortable so I can cozy up and read a book but I want it to make an impression.  below are some fun pieces to try out in your bedroom, living room or reading room!

Park City!

I'm jetting off to Park City tomorrow to attend Sundance and see my good friend who is on the Park City Ski Team.  I've been dreaming about exposed wood beams, cozy fires, and natural elements! I've included some ideas if you're thinking of turning your space into a ski lodge inspired room!

Remember: choose warm, rich tones like shades of browns and reds.  Use oversized rustic furniture…imperfections make the space more authentic! Plank wood floors are woven or animal hyde rugs are also common and throw in a rustic antler or antique wrought iron chandelier!

So Airy!

Kitchen cabinets don't have to be used for just storage!  You can turn your kitchen into a work of art and show off some unique and fun pieces.  If you can handle seeing your dishes and cups out on display then open shelved kitchens may just work for you! I love them but I also think you  have to keep up with making sure the shelves aren't cluttered or messy! below are some examples.
