Dorm Design | Saturday Tip

While visiting my daughter at her College campus, I noticed a lot of students moving in & thought now would be a great time to offer up a quick tip on dorm design!

Enjoy!

 

Dorm Design Tip:

Choose a beautiful rug to define your space, 

then pull colors from the pattern to define your taste!

Gotta have the rug in this photo? 
It's available in my beautiful friend, Tobi Fairley's Tastemaker Tag Sale at www.OneKingsLane.com

Enjoy your Saturday!

Front Door Friday!

What's Your View?

Looking for ways to simplify your life?

Especially in the office?

I will never forget the day my sister told me

"Quit being so detail oriented"! 

It was completely consuming my life.  

I gasped when she told me that she just shoved all her monthly bills into a manilla envelope, 

marked with the month and year on the outside, 

and her filing was done!  

I thought she had lost her mind...

Until, I found a way to outsmart the messy...

Time to put on your prettiest heels & kick that unattractive filing cabinet out the door!

 

Here is my super easy 3 step guide to hide the mess 

and de-stress the age old filing system:

National Hot Dog Day!

Did you know the hot dog had it's very own national holiday?

What a perfect reason to celebrate with your family and give mom a quick & easy dinner to make! Enjoy!

Front Door Friday!

TIME TO BRAG ABOUT YOUR HOME!

SHARE...SHARE...SHARE!

Your Front Porch is your visitors first impression!

Take a second and ask yourself: 

 "How does my home say HELLO"?

The front door mat is your first opportunity to greet your visitors

 and introduce a feeling of what they can expect upon entering.  

I found a few examples of what I mean below, 

along with a few that I could picture on the 

doorsteps of some famous celebrities 

(hope they make you giggle).

 So...

As you can see, 

what you put on your doorstep serves a purpose 

beyond a place to wipe feet!

If you think about it...

It's a language all it's own!

I hope you are thinking of the perfect way 

for your home to greet your guests
