{Apologies that it has taken me a week and a half to get this out. I am going through some personal health issues and have been pulled into several directions. There was so much to discuss that it has taken me several goes at this post before it was complete!}


As far as narrative goes, I was left wanting more. What did you think?

But I felt like aesthetically, it was glorious.

Give Me the Goods Monday 50th Link Party Giveaway and Announcment

Wow, I can't believe this is the 50th Give Me the Goods Link Party! We will be sharing a little "thank  you" giveaway below, but there is an announcement that the girls and I need to share first. 

This will be the last week of Give Me the Goods. 

Jamie, Jenna, Amber, Rachel and I all feel so blessed and happy to have had the experience of working together and meeting so many of you through this weekly link up. But we are all pulled in so many directions with our blogs, subsequent projects and families that it was time 

to re-evaluate this time consuming weekly commitment.

Eclectic Teen Girl Room E-Design {Sugar, Spice & Kilim}

Bold, Yet Dainty
Strong Willed, Yet Sweet
Sugar, Spice and Kilim
"Keep Your Heels, Head & Standards High"

I was asked by a client to come up with a room for a teen that LOVES Audrey Hepburn movies. She asked for a little bit "Sabrina" and a little bit "Breakfast at Tiffanys". She wanted sophisticated yet still fun and not too "matchy". So a vintage, boho, flat style was what I was trying to achieve. We needed to incorporate a few pieces that she had already and a new, exciting Kilim rug was on the MUST HAVE list. I encouraged and sourced a high quality Kilim that will be an heirloom for this teen girl...something that she can take with her and use her entire life. As a matter of fact, working within budget, we were able to find investment pieces (Rug, Bed, Lamp) that are staples that will never go out of style.
