instagram updates

While I'm not putting my blood, sweat, and tears (literally) into our new house, I've been out and about taking in design inspiration. I'm lucky to live in a city that has so many fabulous showrooms at my doorstep. This bath design at the Ferguson showroom was a showstopper. I'm debating between brass and chrome for our bath and/or kitchen, and change my mind almost daily on this!
 I got a tour of the Subzero/Wolf showroom a couple of weeks ago to get inspiration for a kitchen/dining project I've been working on - This dining room was spot-on!
Here is a peek at my design plan. Google SketchUp *might* finally be growing on me.
We tiled and grouted our floor in the guest bath in preparation for the arrival of our vanity. It got a little delayed, but it's definitely being delivered tomorrow. Be on the lookout for sneak peeks on my insta account!
Last but not least I visited Mili at the Kufri Life showing at the 2014 Artist Open Studios. I'm loving the new Spring designs as well as the addition of rugs!
On the list for this week: Having our final meeting with our contractor so he can get to work on the big stuff, finally getting sod laid, finalizing flooring choices for master bedroom and Charlie's room, and painting the fireplace. One thing I'm learning about this whole process is that nothing goes as quickly or smoothly as you expect. All of our timelines (and budgets) have gone out the window due to some shoddy DIY jobs from the previous owners (womp, womp), but we're hopeful our contractor can help us out of the mess and still have everything ready before our move-in! I promise to share more pics and progress soon, but right now there isn't a whole lot of progress being made :)

dallas market color trends

Last week, Mili and I got together and checked out the trends at the Dallas Home and Gift Market. What we found was just as we have been predicting... lots and lots of indigo!

Navy and gold in the Global Views showroom.
Still loving the gold starburst hardware that I spotted during my last visit to market.
Indigo kantha throws from Vintage Vagabond.
We spent a ton of time eyeing all of the good stuff in the Codarus showroom.
I've put together a decor guide for you to bring a little of the indigo trend into your home!
