Colorful Kitchen Cabinets

I love customizing IKEA pieces, because they are typically very affordable and come in standard colors, begging for some creativity. We added Anthropologie knobs to the IKEA dresser in Isla’s room – a simple touch to make it look a little fancier. When I came across Joy Cho’s (of Oh Joy) kitchen cabinets on Glitter Guide, I fell in love with the toekick. These cabinets are a DIY – and one of my favorites so far. They are the Pax Unit cabinets in white – the DIY steps are in the post here and shown in the photos below. Have you ever renovated or customized a piece of furniture?

Valentine’s Crafting + Baking

Last weekend, I headed over to Christie of KiKiMac‘s gorgeous house with Danielle of Goat and Spoon, and we had a perfect “Galentine’s Crafternoon.” She had posted some Valentine’s craft ideas here and here. As you’ll see in Christie’s post, we ended up creating these pretty hearts. Please soak in all of her gorgeous touches – like the place settings, menus, and delicious vegan, gluten free food!

Of course, with this festive holiday approaching us quickly, there are lots of DIY and decor inspirations posted across the web. Oh So Beautiful Paper’s Valentine Crafting Party ideas include some of my favorite! I adore these printables from Oh So Pretty x Sugar & Cloth.

If you’re looking to have or host a Valentine’s girl’s brunch, be inspired here. This Glitter Guide get-together is seriously perfect. I love the bubbly bar and the glitter LOVE letters.

Another gorgeous Glitter Guide crafty party is featured here. Every single detail (and craft) is perfect. Every one.

I also love this cupid’s arrow cake idea! Sasha and I would never finish that big of a cake, but I think a scaled down version would be perfect. I could even use our new favorite vegan chocolate beet muffin recipe for the cakes!

Another fun vegan Valentine’s Day recipe are these chocolate cake balls. I love finding vegan and gluten free recipes – perfect for a dinner with me and my brother-in-law, Carl, who has Celiac disease.

The Perfect Nursery

I follow Taylor Sterling (founder of Glitter Guide) on Instagram, and I think she’s absolutely perfect. She has been posting pictures of different pieces of her nursery/office recently, but not until yesterday was the entire room revealed on GG. I literally have clicked through all of the pictures three times. I love them all so much. Every single detail is just as I would have dreamed – from the Rifle prints on the wall to the amazing Hayneedle furniture. Baby Elodie is going to have one stylish life. What do you think of the decorations?

LEIF’s Midas Touches

When Taylor Sterling recently posted a picture of a gorgeous geometric blanket on Instagram from Leifshop.com, I immediately had to find it. In my search for this gorgeous throw, I fell head-over-heels for this online design store. Seriously. In love.

The bold colors, gorgeous artwork, and modern vibe of the store is right up my alley. My style is definitely West Elm rustic meets LEIF modern. I especially love their gold touches – shown above. My shopping cart is huge. I’m trying to practice self-control, but failing miserably. I need those paintings!

Gallery Walls

I love gallery walls. Like, obsessed. One of the few things left to be done in the Manor is hanging stuff on the walls. For some reason, Sasha is afraid to make holes in the wall, so he’s pushed back on me about all of the prints I’ve wanted to hang. I’ve convinced him to do a gallery wall in one of the guest rooms, and I’ve laid everything out on the floor for another in the study. I’m still not sure it’s perfect yet, so decided to pull some inspiration. My favorites below! What are your thoughts on gallery walls?
