Gonna Make You BEG for Beige, REALLY.

June 1, 2016 · In: Art, Closet, Fashion, Interior Design, Kitchen, Travel

If beige were a person, we’d have to start a campaign to save it… ’cause the name calling it has endured over the years hasn’t been so great.  Take the “Builder Beige” title.  I mean, really, how mean is that? What did beige ever do to deserve such nasty verbal abuse?  It’s not like it volunteered to be slapped up in every house across America for years.  Just think of all the merciless slander this poor color has had to endure!

And as if that were not enough, more people have continued to use beige as some sort of description for someone who is not only boring, but just plain bored themselves.

When I read this, I shuttered at the injustice:

 “The decor was attractive and strong, but blander than she would have thought his wealth and position afforded him. Caren couldn’t see the point of having that much money if all of it led to beige.”  Author: Attica Locke, excerpt from “The Cutting Season”

How rude.  I am here to come to beige’s defense and show you it’s softer side… it’s beauty, and by the end of this post, I can almost guarantee that you will be begging for beige…

Home is all the little things… Comment HOME to Home is all the little things…

Comment HOME to get the links! 🖤

It’s so easy, especially nowadays when we are bombarded by so many images of home coming at us at the speed of light, to really slow ourselves down and ask this simple question, “What makes a house a home?” And if we dare to ask one more… “What is your idea of a dream home?”

To me, I immediately dive into the feelings a home gives us, the way it makes us feel.  It must be warm.  But how do we achieve that?  Through the little things, like candlelight flickering, blankets tossed on the sofa which seem to be inviting us to snuggle.  There should be a fire going in the fireplace and a basket with extra wood just waiting to keep it going.  The smell of wood burning and pinecones and twigs effortlessly filling bowls and vessels (and when needs must, a candle to help create the smell of all these things.)

We will need a tray of warm steaming drinks and everyone’s favorite snacks, a cake baking in the oven, and jazz music playing in the background. 

The beds are full of fluffy pillows, the garden overflowing with herbs (and if I had my dream it would be almost time to pick the pumpkins while the roses make their last great stand.)

There are bubbles almost overflowing from a hot bath, silk pajamas awaiting afterwards, and fluffy slippers to slide into…

Laughter.  There’s always laughter and love echoing throughout the walls, even as everyone says good night and kisses each other on the cheeks and takes time to thank God for another beautiful and magical day.

That’s what a dream home is to me.  And we build it one day at a time, setting the stage for love and laughter to exist.  That’s a dream worth living for, a life worth working for.  And one that I hope we all get to have.

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV
