Have you guys heard that Zara started selling home furnishings online?! I first became of fan of Zara back in 2005 and have been loving its clothes and accessories since! These are some of my favorites that I'd love to get my house like yesterday. (In case you couldn't tell, I'm slightly obsessing over acrylic lately!)

Ikea Bookshelf Hack

I knew one of the first things I wanted when we moved into a house was a bar cart.  After looking around at some sites that sell them I found out that they're seriously pricey.  But one night when perusing Pinterest I found the perfect bar that I knew would work great in our house.  We already had the bookshelf, so I just went to Lowes to buy the rest of the materials.  It was a super simple DIY and just required four table legs, four flanges, and a screw driver. Now I'm off to make a drink!

Decor :: Gray Walls

Last week I shared that my boyfriend and I are moving into a house.  One of the first rooms that we're planning on repainting is the master bedroom, because it is currently Key West/Jamaican colors.  We love the idea of a gray room, but didn't want all of the walls to be too dark.  So instead of doing all four walls dark gray, we're thinking three lighter with one darker as an accent wall.  These are a few of my favorite paint colors and looks.

Decor :: Dining Rooms

In about a month my boyfriend and I will be moving ... into a house! I couldn't be more excited to no longer share walls with strangers and have a place to park my car that isn't at risk of door dings why are people so rude?.  The living room in our new place is somewhat large and I've been trying to think of table and other decoration ideas.  These are a few of my favorite dining rooms, some of my other favorite looks can be found here.

Dream Kitchens

Touring homes and watching design shows has been something I've enjoyed doing since I was young.  In fact when I was younger, I would beg my parents to go to open houses so that I could look around them.  So it's not a big surprise that this is something that I still enjoy doing.  One of my favorite rooms to think about designing is the kitchen, and more than that I love open kitchens and shelving.  These are some of my favorite kitchen looks.

Styling Bookcases

I'm in the process of styling a new bookcase/media cabinet that my boyfriend and I bought.  Of course, the first place I went to for inspiration was Pinterest.  These are a few of my favorite shelf looks, and our bookcase is leaning more toward the eclectic mixture of elements.

Society Social Bar Cart

{The Double}

My boyfriend and I have been wanting a bar cart for our apartment for awhile.  So when I saw that Society Social had some great options, I immediately started picturing one in my home.  There are about six different options to choose from, but the two above are my favorite.  It'll be awhile until I can purchase one of them, but they're fun to imagine hosting parties!

Decor Envy

Ok you guys, I'm envious of this cozy bedroom.  My room is already pretty well put together, but I'm definitely looking for some lovely pillows and a graphic lamp shade to complete the look.  Do you have any suggestions on where to buy great fabrics or pillows?

Kate Spade Inspired Canvas

{Mint Loves Social Club}

Among other things, this weekend I am hoping to make my own Kate Spade inspired canvas out of simple supplies from the craft store.  Although, the DIY uses paper circles, I'm considering painting the circles on the canvas rather than using paper and glue.  Hopefully it'll turn out well.  When I hopefully get around to making it this weekend, I'll be sure to share the results!

Fancy Shower Curtain

Since my cat has managed to ruin my current shower curtain, I would love to replace it with another, more pretty shower curtain.  This Anthropologie curtain was pinned on Pinterest and I couldn't help but be immediately drawn to it.  It even seems like a shower curtain that you could replicate fairly easily!  I'll have to put my crafty pants on soon and think of how to make one.

Fan Style

Most places around the country are most likely experiencing much warmer weather than we are in the Pacific Northwest.  So when the mercury decides to rise in these parts, it would be nice to have a more stylish looking fan to keep cool.  Do any of you know where to find a replica of this fan?
