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…

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!

Comment SHOP to get the links & more styling hacks!! 

Guys! I’m so pumped! I love creating a living space meant to dine in and that’s what we’ve created here! It’s luxe, warm, inviting, smells incredible and gives a sense that you want to linger forever!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s loaded with budget friendly finds & styling hacks? We’ve used everything from dinnerware from Amazon to glassware from IKEA to little marble bowls loaded with little nuts & treats from @hmhome !! 

The baskets, hurricanes, and bowls overflowing with wood and pine cones definitely give a nod to the fall season as do the warm brown velvet curtains (another Amazon find!) 

The only question we have to answer is- what’s for dinner?!
