AFFILIATE LINKS ARE OCCASIONALLY USED ON AK STUDIO. HOWEVER THEY ARE USED TO ENDORSE PRODUCTS THAT I GENUINELY LIKE AND WANT TO SHARE. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
The amazingly talented Christine, from Bijou & Boheme wrote an incredible new article in the new House of Fifty issue. The piece outlined different ways to make an eclectic home. I think this is something a lot of people strive to accomplish but can be very difficult. We all know Christine has seriously succeeded at this. Just look at her living room:
In the article she gives lots of amazing advice and tips. Christine also shared pictures on how to accomplish these things. She was sweet enough to ask for a picture from my home to demonstrate one of these rules. Shown here is the mixing of metals on my side table (middle left)
It is an itty bitty little mention but so fun!
I also wanted to take a minute to say some serious (and seriously delayed) thank yous to some other amazing bloggers (and to hopefully introduce you to some great new blogs)! These websites have all given little shout outs to TTS recently and they deserve a big snuggle for it. Seriously. Thank you.
First, I want to say my most humongous thank you to every. single. one. of you. Seriously, your comments yesterday about my project brought tears to my eyes. You are the most amazing, supportive, encouraging people I have ever had the privilege of “knowing”.
And to answer the most commonly asked question, the chevron wall is was hand-painted. Wow right?? If you want the info for an amazing decorative painter in the Chicago area, let me know!
Ok. On to weddings. Because its
If you follow me on Twitter you may have already seen, but I found and tried on (and fit into) my mom’s wedding dress from 1983.
Someone driving past thought I was a real bride and pulled over to say congratulations. How kind of them to pretend I didn’t look like the most horrifying bride on the planet. No make up. Hair in a nest. And THIS headpiece.
Spencer even posed with me. And his toy helicopter.
And PS aren’t I a very generous blogger for making myself look like such an idiot and sharing this picture with you?? I care very much about the enjoyment of your Wedding Wednesdays.
Now. Real dresses. I just made my first appointment to go to look at dresses for next week! The dress shopping is the most important part for me, I’m not going to lie. Luckily, I already know exactly what style I want (because its what I like, but even more importantly because its most flattering for me).
Which style is your favorite?
And, for anyone wondering, none of the dresses shown are dresses I am personally considering. Those are secrets!
