Happy Memorial Day!

I'm taking the day off, but just wanted to pop in to wish you a Happy Memorial Day. I hope your thoughts turn not only to BBQs and sunshine, but also to those who have given their lives for our freedom.

*On another note, you might have noticed things looking a bit wonky lately on the blog. Good news! I'm finally done tweaking colors and design! I ended up doing a bit of a bigger change than I anticipated, but once I started changing colors, I just wasn't happy with anything and wanted something new. The layout is pretty much the same, so you'll find everything in the same place you used to. Let me know if anything looks off or doesn't seem to be working! Here's a preview if you're reading through a RSS reader. Click over to see the whole design!

Pretty Organization

I love organization in any shape or form, whether that be baskets in a bookshelf or colorful tape in binders. And that's why I'm sharing this today! I'll admit I'm pretty much all digital when it comes to calendars, but this makes me want to run to Target and pick up a basic planner so I can use pretty tape to organize my life! Jensie of Take Two They're Small used washi tape to make a basic planner fabulous and organized. Is anyone else in love with this as much as I am? Wishing you a lovely Memorial Day weekend. Summer is officially here in my book, so I'm going to start sipping my lemonade and relaxing by the pool. (and by pool I mean the dog's little 3 foot pool, haha!) I'll just close my eyes and pretend it's the real thing!

Pin It: Sea Sparkle

I generally try not to post things if I don't know their original source, but I'm making an exception in an attempt to find the source. This image is GORGEOUS! The colors are beautiful and it would be so pretty in a white frame. So, this is my cry for help. Does anyone know the source of this lovely image? I found it on Pinterest, but it was originally from Tumblr, where it seems impossible to track things down!

Tape Art

I saw this DIY tape art on Better Homes & Gardens and immediately added it to my "I want to try this" list! It's so simple too! They just took a regular canvas and used metal repair tape to add a bold, shiny pattern. My favorite part is the shine on the tape that adds a little extra bling. I also think this could be awesome using colored duck tape or some pretty patterned washi tape. So many ideas, so little wall space. I'll definitely let you know if I tackle this (whenever I find a place to hang it)!

Pin It: Girly Lounge

I love this space by designer Emily Mughannam. It's colorful and girly and would never fly with the hubby, but I think it could be perfect for office or dressing room inspiration (spaces that could be totally my own)! I can't decide what my favorite part is. Maybe that light? It's so gorgeous!
