An Accent Wall with Wallpaper {Master Bedroom}

Hi All! We have been nesting away over here with just over three weeks till these babies make their arrival. So sorry that my posts have been few and far between. I am hoping to update you this week on a few changes going on around our home as well as finishing editing the nursery photos.

Today I am talking about wallpaper. Yes...most of us have been through the tearing and scraping of the dreaded 70's and 80's wallpaper days. I have always said that I would NEVER add wallpaper to my home after the demo in many of our flip homes. However, I have found some wonderful modern accent walls that have really change my mind lately....especially in the bedroom. 

I have been thinking of adding an accent wall to our own master bedroom. Nothing crazy, but something neutral that adds a bit of luxe and texture.

Aren't they all quite fabulous? What do you think about wallpaper? Have I changed your mind?

Fabulous Feature Friday: House Seven Blog

I haven't posted a Friday Feature in a while and I really want to bring this back! I love finding new to me blogs and sharing some amazing talent with all of you.
I recently came across House Seven Blog on Instagram. She posts the most amazing snippets of her home, so I decided to check out her blog. Well...it is just as lovely. Anissa shares projects around her home as well as everyday life. I am excited to share her beautiful home with you today. Enjoy!

I just adore her Industrial Cottage Chic place! It started out as just a builder grade home and Anissa has added so much character to each space she touches. I love how she has combined vintage pieces as well as more modern pieces in each room. Love her style don't you?

Hope you lovelies have a wonderful weekend. We are tackling a few items on the nesting list! Wish the Hubs good luck! xoxo

Fabulous Feature Friday {HGTV Dream Home 2015}

Every year about this time I get giddy to see what HGTV has accomplished with their new Dream Home. This year they did not disappoint. Their new home is settled in the quaint location of Martha's Vineyard. I have never been, but after seeing this home and the small town charm, I think it is safe to say that it will be on my travel list from now on.

A beautiful Cape Cod with lots of outdoor space! Is there anything more classic than a Cape Cod style home?

A wonderful little entry leading into the great room. Most Cape Cod layouts are separated into individual rooms. I love how they took the original design and made it into more of a modern feel with classic touches.

Light and airy with so many textures using wood, metal and different types of fabric.

Always a good idea to paint the back of shelves. It helps make your decor items pop and gives another element to the room design. 

Living, Dining Room & Kitchen all designed with an open concept in mind. Perfect for entertaining!

The trend of two different types of counter-tops still stands as a fabulous idea to not only add different textures to a space, but to cut down on ones budget as well! Classic subway tile and bead board nod to the original Cape Code style. I could cook in here....how about you?

One of the guest rooms with vibrant orange and blue accents. I have been loving this color combination for a while. This room also has access to the outdoors with its own separate patio and lounging area. Sign me up!

Oh the master bathroom...I don't think I would ever leave! Loving the arched ceiling with accent color and those drapes! Would have never thought of adding heavy drapes to a bathroom, but it works and adds much luxury.

Another fabulous Master bedroom which has been tied with the master bath using the same color palette....and look at those drapes! I love the soft wood tones and the idea of turning an oval mirror on it's side for something unexpected.

This outside space makes me wish it was spring! And do you see that wooden box like thing over on the side of the home?.....

Yes...it's an outdoor shower! What a great idea when living close to the water. Ahhh..dreaming.

If you haven't seen the full tour of the home you can click HERE or tune in for a complete guided tour at 1pm today on HGTV!

Tuesday Treats #18

We meet again my friends! Summer is finally in full swing with many kids already out of school. I just love summertime. Even though I am an adult and have to work throughout the summer, I still get that feeling of freedom. Summer has that lazy, go with the flow, do what you want attitude and I love it!

I am back with another round up of inspiration and ideas from around the web. I hope you like what I found for you all this week. Enjoy!


#1: Bedroom Makeover using HomeGoods Decor
My friend Courtney from A Thoughtful Place created a bedroom retreat for one lucky couple. HomeGoods gave her a challenge of making over a master bedroom for $1,000. You have to hop on over to her blog to see the full reveal. It is gorgeous and I can't believe the beautiful pieces she found at HomeGoods!

#2: Kara Rosenlund Photography
I was so inspired by this photograph this past week. I kept looking at all the details of this space. I am obsessed people! Kara takes such amazing photographs of places, people, animals...you name it! She is now selling some of her prints and you can get this amazing horse print here. Oh this might have to be on my Christmas list!
Do you ever find something that inspires you and you can't help but become a stalker? Not sure what it was about this picture this week, but I was hooked for sure.

#3: Black Bean Quinoa Salad

The Hubs and I are really trying to eat healthy throughout the summer. It can be hard when invited to so many cookouts with hot dogs and hamburgers. So when we are home we try and eat light. I recently fixed this Quinoa salad and it was delicious! We actually ate it as our dinner, but it would also be great as a summer side dish for a cookout or party. You must try!

#4: Fabulous Breakfast Nook with DIY tutorials

I honestly can say that I think Kristen is one of the most talented ladies I know! She has a design background with a DIY brain. Put those two together and you get fabulousness! You may remember her outdoor space that I featured as well as a Fabulous Friday feature of her home.

Again she didn't disappoint with this adorable breakfast nook! You can see a tutorial for her framed wallpaper panels here and tassel pillows here.

#5: A Quote

I thought I would end you with this quote that has been on my mind this week. Sometimes we just need to be and let God and life take us where we need to go. So hard to do, but SO TRUE!

One of my absolute favorite spaces in her home is Lauren's secret garden. It is right off her master bedroom. This is where she enjoys her morning coffee or evening shower. How amazing is this?

Her home has such a great feel to it. It is comfortable, livable and stylish. The second you walk in it feels like home. And...I love the open floor plan.

The mix of Industrial, modern and antique is the prefect combination. She mixes these styles with ease.

How great is this study/loft area? The wooden shelves are actually made from Ikea butcher block to cut down on cost. Genius! I love the texture those shelves bring into the room. Lauren's family must love to read and who wouldn't want to spend time in this comfortable space?!
