Inspiration Tuesday--What I Want My Home to Look and Feel Like

I love warm, bold colors and a cozy, yet contemporary style. It's sometimes really hard to mix that with family life and a busy 4 year old running around, so this week's Etsy Decor article was perfect for me. It has the look and feel that I want throughout my home--organized, lots of color, warm cozy feel, and family friendly.

Inspiration Tuesday--Master Bedroom Ideas

We bought our current home (aka the one for the next 30 years) almost 2 years ago, and while it had great bones and lots of upgrades, we are slowly working to make it look and feel more like us. The family that built the home and lived here before us were in their mid-fifties were 3 older kids and definitely did not have our sense of style, color, etc. I typically like clean, contemporary design w/ lots of colors--not shabby chic or whatever her style.

While my hubby is working hard on our new deck and patio, I'm still trying to come up w/ some master bedroom ideas. I'm planning the room around our mission style bedroom set, which we love, and our new black and white comforter set. I'd love to do a gray/ black/ white/ red scheme.

I've included a few designs that I love sprinkled throughout this post. Let me know your ideas! It takes me forever to pick out a design I love. In our last home, the master bedroom was a deep red, and I loved it. Hope to love this one soon, too.

Matching Coasters and Kitchen Trivet

This custom order was for a set of 4 custom coasters and a matching 6x6 ceramic trivet to use in a new kitchen. I love how they turned out! All of the coasters and trivet are fully backed w/ cork and sealed several times to ensure that they are durable as well as beautiful decor. These can be made to match your existing home decor or they make great gifts! I can work with you to find the perfect graphic, photo, pattern/ style, etc.!
