Friday Five | 03.27.15

Thank goodness it is Friday! Here's what has caught my eye over the past week!

Yesterday I was asked for my favorite floral pillow sources, so I rounded up a few of my favorites! I love the Etsy shop Spark Modern - I could literally take every pillow in their shop home with me! They are a great source for designer pillows - the prices are very reasonable, especially when you look at the price per yard when purchasing designer fabric! These are great statement pillows that could easily make a space! 

Chaing Mai // GP&J Baker Imperial Pheasant // O&L Maharani // Manual Canovas Misia // Schumacher Katsugi //Schumacher Chenonceau

I also rounded up a few of my favorites for under $25, ranging from $5-$25!

Ikea Stockholm // Ikea Snabbvinge // Threshold Floral // H&M Linen Cover // Threshold Orange Floral // Threshold Gray Floral

Short on space or in between nightstands? Try using a garden stool to rest your drink or phone at night - as seen on Style Me Pretty! p.s. Home Goods/Ross/TJ Maxx etc. typically has them for $30-$80!

A few month's ago, I shared about #gohugo, a 1 year old boy who had a cancer diagnoses. I'm SO happy to say, as of a few week's ago Hugo is cancer free!!! I've been thinking and praying for Hugo and his family often over the past year - this makes me smile so much! 

An amazing reminder that no matter what the news tells you, there IS good and happiness in the world! 

This bedroom by Caroline Brewer on Design Sponge has the perfect amount of crisp white, color and pattern. Doesn't it look so relaxing?

We've had this set of organic cotton sheets for a few years now and they look as good (or maybe better) than new. They are super soft and the price is great! (I can't remember, but maybe they've gotten softer with time?) We also have a set of 800 thread count and I definitely prefer this set at 325 thread count. p.s. Extra 10% off with code SHAMROCK

How fun are these monogram pillows from Anthropologie!? Currently on sale for $19.95! Stop by to see if they still have your letter in stock! This tassel pillow would be great paired with it! 

Have a great weekend friends!!

Happy Friday! Here's a few of my favorites from the past week!

I love Britt Bass Turner's art! Did you know that you can also get her paintings as throw pillows?

Throw pillows can add up quickly - a great way to get a high end look for less is to mix in less expensive shams. Maybe pair this one from H&M with the Britt Bass Turner listed above? Also check out Ikea, Home Goods, Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc. for great deals! 

Talk about gorgeous! The colors are stunning!

Friday Five | 3.6.15

Happy Friday! Here's a few of my favorites from the past week!

I'm loving the new Whim collection by Martha Stewart at Macy's. Aren't these fun prints the perfect way to usher spring in!? 

From the collection, I have the aqua dots sheets and flamingo pillowcases.

Hopefully spring is on it's way soon! 

I'm loving Emily Henderson's Biggest Design Mistakes series. I definitely agree that buying a small rug is such a common mistake - when in doubt - go bigger! See Emily's tips here.

Have you tried Cascadian Farm Chocolate Chip granola bars yet? I know it sounds silly to talk about granola bars, but they are seriously the best. They don't have that dry, cardboard taste that most boxed granola bars have. They are moist and have a strong vanilla flavor that almost gives them a homemade cookie taste almost. I think the sugar content is pretty comparable to other granola bars, but they are organic, so you can at least feel better about that :) Cascadian Farm has no idea who I am .. but I just picked up a box this week (at Target) and wanted to share! 

How dreamy is this kitchen!? Everything is perfection! I really love the windows - it certainly doesn't feel small!

This Kate Spade Saturday at West Elm pillow is on sale for $14.99!! It also comes in blue

And this brushstroke pillow is $19.99!! 

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!! :) If you need me, I'll be working on my deck for The Home Depot Style Challenge!!
