Gonna Make You BEG for Beige, REALLY.

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…

Comment BLACK & I’ll send you the links!! Eeekkk!!! 👏🏽 

I read the most amazing article about how BLACK is a grounding color, not just for a room but for us! I just felt like my life just made that much more sense!! I felt like screaming yeeessssss!!! (I did it inside! Ok, I let out a little yeah, baby!!) but seriously. BLACK. The one color that never goes out of style, is always chic, feels fabulous to wear & live it. God. It’s just SO good!!! 

Love you all and hope you are having the best day everrr! XxV

29 years ago… these were the days I used to dream 29 years ago… these were the days I used to dream of! 

Today is yesterday’s dream! (Or a lot of yesterdays ago!) haha I used to play this song and dream of all the days we’d have together and the life we’d make, ones filled with a home, a family, little mornings out, drives through quaint downtown streets, antiques shopping. It was never a flashy dream. A simple one that felt like the most beautiful thing I could imagine if I closed my eyes and dreamed up my wildest fantasies!
