Going Global: Home Accesories

Rug - Amber Interiors / Brocade Pillow - Mercado Global / Lamp - Overstock
Pitcher - Serena & Lily / Baskets - Overstock / Floral Kantha Pillow - Etsy

I have been so drawn to anything and everything with an ethnic vibe lately. I think this is such a fun way to add a bit of character to your home as each piece seems to tell its own story. I think a new rule in my home is going to be at least one global piece per room.  What about y'all? Have any global pieces that you just love?

Outfit to Room

Shirt - J.Crew Factory / Skirt - Forever 21 / Necklace - Vintage / Shoes - Zara

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I had such a fun time seeing my family in Oklahoma and I finally got around to seeing the Hunger Games... already getting excited for the next one!

I wore this outfit out and about with the fam and it was almost too hot for it! It is feeling a little more like summer than spring in OK, but I won't complain!

**Bear with me on the quality of the videos... I am still learning and am working to make them better!

Ottoman - Serena & Lily / Quart Bookends - Design Darling / Topiary - Design Darling

I fell in love with this fabric the moment I saw it - it is the perfect floral!  And who doesn't want a pink couch these days??

Colorblocking at Home

I know we have all seen the gorgeousness that color blocking can do to your wardrobe, but let's take a look at how to implement this into your home.

I like to find a piece of artwork (or fabric) to serve as my color inspiration for a room and in this case, I went with a piece that is mostly one "block" of color with accents of the other color being used in the space.

From there, choose a main piece of furniture (couch, dresser, bed, table, etc.) in one solid color to provide another "block."

Then accessorize in varying shades of the accent color and don't forget to add in a neutral to ground the space (this can be done with flooring, wall treatment, furniture... really anything!)

Today I came across this website (it hurts to write it this way AP committee) while I was "working." It has really cute home accessories, some of which I have convinced myself I need...well, more like need to recreate.

Hello, red lacquered table. Though I would love to purchase you for $300, I think you could be duplicated quite easily from a Craigslist piece.



This one is for the girls over at Rural Gone Urban :) A patchwork of white and neutral cowhide patches! This is gorgeous and probably not so easily duplicated at home.



I am dying to make this woven pendant at home to go over my dining room table. It shouldn't be too hard, right? I'll let you know when I come up with something.



Happy Tuesday!
