THINGS I LIKE

Wander Over Wednesday

and meet Emily a decorator with absolutely fabulous style and girl after my own heart with her great DIY projects.

My dream office looks like...



What I love most about my city: We live in a small town right outside of Charlotte, NC.  I love the close proximity to the city, and we are only 3+ hours from the beach and less than 2 hours from the mountains.  Lots of options!

What do you love most about your day? Being with my kids.  I also like to eat cereal and watch my tivo'd reality shows late at night after they go to bed. 

What is your favorite color palette? Currently, I'm stuck on navy & cream, with pops of chartreuse (as you can see from my living room).


When I'm not blogging I am... Chasing babies!  I'm a stay-at-home mom to a 5-, 3-, and 1-year old.

What is your favorite space in your house?  I love my office.  I'm still working on finishing up the room, but I love having a space that's all mine, where I can blog, read, and work on online decorating projects for clients.  Here's a campaign dresser I recently revamped for the space:


What are your 5 favorite things RIGHT now?

EMILY'S TOP THREE DESIGN TIPS

LESS IS MORE: Put away the little trinkets and think fewer, bigger pieces when accessorizing


BRING ONLY THINGS YOU LOVE INTO YOUR HOME:  Don't get caught in the trap of keeping things you hate, just because you already have them

HANG YOUR WINDOW TREATMENTS HIGH: It's amazing how raising the hight of your curtain panel or shade can make your whole room feel bigger


Thanks Emily!
