From Wardrobe to Walls & TWO FREE Giveaways!

When it comes to your home, choosing the right color for your walls can be overwhelming and tedious at times. Trying to find that perfect color, in the right lighting, that you won't get tired of is a lot to be mindful of. But don't worry, I've got the perfect solution!
Let's turn to your closet for inspiration! What's your favorite top?! One that you wear all the time, that stays on repeat in your washer & dryer or that dress you've had for years that always seems to be your go-to! What makes you look & feel fabulous? Chances are whatever colors you love to wear that you don't seem to get tired of is the perfect place to start a new color pallet for your home or simply find the right shade for an accent wall. If you don't get tired of wearing it-you probably won't get tired of it on your walls. My go-to is black & white. If its not black & white, its normally a bright color and pink is my fav because it looks great on blondes ;) 

Your home is a direct reflection of you. Let's face it, sprucing up your home with a little paint can do wonders! If you're not the decorating type or you've never painted before, take a leap of faith--it will pay off in the end ;) Don't be afraid to change it up a bit, it's only paint and you can always repaint if need be.  Here's a small collage of my favorite colors, wallpapers & fabrics from my home. I love Moroccan prints! They are easily incorporated into any room and the geometric patterns really stand out and look great with damask prints too!

My latest project was painting our foyer the "Cabaret 18-2140" color by Valspar. It's a fuchsia color, slightly on the darker side. My inspiration came from this handle on a Lilly Pulitzer shopping bag. 

Because it's a darker hue, it was the perfect color for my foyer which gets a ton of light! It definitely makes the room feel more chic and I'm pretty obsessed with my new mirrored kudu that I found at Homegoods! Here's a before and after picture of my new "Lilly" foyer ;) The next step of this project, painting the spindles black :)
