I am back from Europe, very jetlagged but happy to be back in my own house! It was an incredible trip but there really is no place like home. I’ll share lots of pictures this week, but today something different. 

I, along with my friend Morgan (of The Edit) are being featured on The Everygirl today! It was so much fun helping to design Morgan’s retail space and I am so excited to share all of the details with you today.

Check it out here.

Thanks so much to Danielle and Alaina for featuring us!

While we’re on the subject on The Everygirl, did you see their feature on Thursday about “how to style a coffee table”? Its absolutely gorgeous. I can’t believe how much I love all three options. But the first (pinky, girly, and glittery) one holds a special place in my heart…

 …because it was photographed in my living room. It was amazing seeing these girls work their magic and totally transform my space.

I have a couple new projects in the works right now and here is my inspiration for some of them:

Traditional Suburban Bathroom

Funky Colorful Bedroom

Spa Retreat Bathroom

Cannot wait to share the completed projects! Hopefully some will be soon.

 And check out my go-to make up at Cardigan Junkie!

I am loving winter (yeahhhh, I know, I am the only one) and all of the bright colors that are being shown, but I absolutely cannot wait for a dose of pastels this spring. It is taking all of my self control not to buy these right now!

I wrote this post 6 months ago about amazing pastel pictures and clothes but now I am dreaming of some pastely goodness in my house. A room like this would be perfect to come home to.

A little while back, Mackenzie from Design Darling fame, invited me to participate in her “design dialogues” series. As a part of the interview, I mentioned three items on my bucket list. One of which was to have my work published in a magazine. And well, today, I am here to say that by some crazy crazy twist of fate, my work is being published!!!

You might have suspected this based on my secrecy about my condo, but now I can confirm it. Last month, the day before I left for Mexico, my condo was photographed for a feature in Chicago Magazine. Ummm… is this real life??? I have to say, I am still in shock.

Here is a shot of my place on the day of the shoot. Utter chaos. Yes there is a sofa in the kitchen.

So you’ll have to wait until April to see most of my place, but I just couldn’t wait to share the news!

In order to repay you for the 4 month wait, I am sharing pictures of the two unpublished rooms of my condo.

This space was pretty much finished when we moved in. It isn’t necessarily what I would’ve personally chosen. But I am obsessed with our countertops, which are Quartzite. They are so insanely durable. All in all, I think it all came together nicely.

The guest bedroom has definitely been a challenge. We don’t have a lot of storage space in here, so this room became the spot where we threw everything. Luckily, it has come together and I love the results. Especially that light fixture!

Let me know if you have any source questions, I’d be happy to share!

And PS I am over at Walking Around Where the Sidewalk Begins sharing my fall favorites! 

Today I am obsessed with going to Paris this fall. Yes I am still obsessed with it.

 And today I am in love with this perfect knit cape with gold buttons. I seriously need this. Especially if I am going to be in Paris. I meannnn come on, someone take me!

And today Viviana of Fashion Truffles is sharing the design board I put together for her bedroom, as well as the whole process. We chose items that were almost all things she could register for! Go on over and check it out. Here is what I put together for Viviana.
