I wouldn’t say I’m horrible but in NO MEANS am I good at writing or drawing on chalkboards.

The foldout chalkboards in this book are so perfect for practicing. Not only will it help you create some stunning chalkboard displays but also give you…
Ariella’s bedroom is finally being decorated after we moved in the beginning of August. In our previous home she would ask every person that stepped into our home if they wanted to see her room.

I’ve always loved bright fresh colours but I change my mind quite often on the tones of these colours. So starting with a more neutral color pallet allows me to switch up decor to suite my current taste in design. This entire powder room is designed off of the sink and pattern wallpaper. The long detailed legs on the sink is what had me at HELLO. (I’m 6’1″ so me and those legs get each other 😉 ) Okay so…
Last Summer my son turned 1 and the party was featured on Style Me Pretty (pinch me…that was exciting!). Now that I have my own blog I also wanted to share it here. So many amazing companies were involved and I can’t believe it….he’s turning 2 this August! How does it happen so fast! (I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on for his party this year! Hint….shapes) If your looking at the beautiful “1” balloon and notice it’s backwards! Well….it can’t all be perfect right? I took these images before the guests started to arrive and the first…
