Create an Industrial Kitchen

I did a post like this a few years ago that people seemed to really like, so here is Industrial Kitchens round two. :) Seriously though, industrial kitchens are more popular than ever! Here are some of my favorites, along with some pieces that can help you achieve your own industrial look.

This look can be achieved in any kitchen, all you need is some good chalboard paint. You could put it just about anywhere too! Paint the walls, cabinets, inside of cabinets...the sky's the limit.

Happy Friday!

Spring is coming, I can feel it in the air! We are supposed to have a lovely warm weekend and I can't wait. Here are a few online things that are looking delicious right now! Have a great weekend!

This chocolate bar. Yes, just yes! While the flavor may not seem super appealing, it is one of the most tasty and interesting chocolate bars I've ever had.

I love this dress, AND it is affordable! When will it warm up for spring already?

I know this is really domestic of me, but I've been eyeing this beauty for a while now. I think it would work so well right inside my front door.

These suede lovelies are calling my name!

Green finds for St. Patties Day

I love a good excuse to get dressed up, so obviously I am giddy for St. Patrick's Day to arrive! Lately I have seen a lot of the mint color in fashion. In fact, last weekend I just tried on a pair of mint jeans. What fun. I will be excited to see green and mint being worn this St. Patrick's Day, especially since green is my favorite color. Here are some fun items that I have picked out to help you figure out what to wear for the impending shamrock day, March 17. Enjoy!

Hot Pink!

In honor of upcoming Valentines Day I figured I would post some fun hot pink images. I have seen pops of hot pink around lately and can't get enough! The more I see it, the more I want to keep seeing it. Hot pink was once a little girls color, but it is quickly becoming a fun statement. I have always been a fan of pink, but now I don't have to feel ashamed about it. Bring on the pink...and make sure it is hott!

For the love of Gold

Lately I have been LOVING gold! At first I thought it was a holiday thing. Pretty gold ornaments and dresses caught my eyes. Then the holidays passed, but I continued to look for gold. For every little pop of gold that I see, I get a little excited. It's the small things in life right?

Short hair lust...

I'm loving this haircut...wonder if I could pull it off. Bangs are a special thing. You never know how they are going to act until you get them. At that point it could be too late, or it could be the best risk you've ever taken. Ya just never know until you try...

Happy Weekend!

Here's to a weekend of beach umbrellas and suntanning! As summer winds down I hope you take advantage of these last warm weekends. The beaches will be emptying out as kids go back to school meaning more room for you and me!

Avocado salad recipe. I've been eating a lot of this stuff lately, but I like to add tomatoes to mine.

I could waste a lot of time on this picture blog.

I LOVE these mugs!
