No-Fail Neutrals

From cool shades to warm tones, these neutrals will be just what you're looking for & if not, it will make picking out a paint color much, much easier. I found this image on Pinterest from Better Homes and Gardens & needed to share how great these colors are. Whether you're looking for a golden, gray, sage, blue or off-white tone these paint colors will do the trick. I especially love Stone by Valspar - finding the right gray can be a needle-in-the-haystack task but that one is my favorite. Which one do you like best? Even better, do you have a certain neutral paint color that you can't get enough of? I'd love to know!

Nautical Accents for your Home

If you're like me than you have a soft spot for anything nautical. Especially since spring is here and summer is around the corner, incorporating a few nautical pieces may be just what your home needs. Whether you are looking for some new items for your beach house or your beach-inspired space up in the mountains, these nautical accent pieces are some great finds for any space. All of these items would work with most of your existing decor such as a fun doormat and some burlap throw pillows which are a perfect way to gradually add some nautical fun into your home without going overboard (no pun intended) and will look great year-round, too. Enjoy!

Decorating with Succulents

I remember when I first heard the term succulent years ago watching an episode of HGTV's Design Star where a contestant planted succulents on top of a tree stump which also was used as an accent table. The judges loved it and so did I. Since then, and especially now, I see succulents used in design that provides a rustic feel & I can't get enough - I just love the way they look. You can either buy any succulents you'd like & any terrarium or pot to plant them in or you can buy them already planted. If you have children, creating your own succulent terrarium would be a fun project to do together! 

Now you may be wondering what exactly is a succulent & why use them in design? Succulents are plants, sometimes called fat plants, that have parts that are thicker than normal usually to retain water in arid climates and soil conditions. Because of their low maintenance and how they retain water, they are perfect to use in interior design - they provide a lush and beautiful look year round. Here are some of my favorite places to buy them & how to use them in design. Enjoy!

1. Placing succulents in planters on the wall creates an 

eye-catching piece with a rustic look.

2. Hanging a glass terrarium with hemp rope and

adding sand creates a fun, beachy look.

like this one as a gift for friends, family or for your own home.

4. These faceted terrariums have such a fun look,

perfect to place atop a coffee table, console or on a shelf as decor.

5. This set of 3 geometric planters are cute & fun -
