{Color pick-me up}


I've been feeling a little on the blah side, with these never ending winters, Utah loves to torture us all with... So i decided to brighten my mood by sharing with everyone one of my ALL time favorite rooms!
I love the color of the walls! It's such a beautiful blue-green... The contrast between the rug, furniture, and wall is fantastic!
♥This is definitely the kind of room that will never leave you feeling blue!

{Favorite item of the week}

I just love how elegent and simple this room is! The bed is what caught my eye! Fabulous right!?
This is a great example of both Symmetrical balance, and Asymmetrical balance, & the bed itself has great texture!
