I'm changing out the boring builder's grade brass light fixtures in our apartment for something with more glam!
P.S. Maskros (the new, smaller version)  for the dining room



Kristaller for the bedroom





Knappa for the sun room
Lock (times two) for the living room (so as not to compete with my Regolit floor lamp)


Total: $139.95 - a lot of light for a little money!
Don't worry, you'll definitely get a sneak peek once they're installed! :)
So for our wedding my mommy gifted Brandon and me one of the lovely Dwell Studio comforters that I've been coveting. Yellow is definitely a departure for me. I am known for living drenched in color, but since my college days are over and I now have a loving hubby, I wanted to dream up a room that was lovely, relaxing, glamorous, and grown-up. Here's how I plan to trick it out!

Clockwise from the left:

1.  Target sunburst mirror
2.  Hopen 6-drawer dresser
3.  CB2 Whirly Hanging candle holders
4.  Z-Gallery Jett bed (which we absolutely love sleeping in!)
5.  Kristaller chandelier
6.  Skirma shades and Januari lamp base
7.  Target glass accent table (times two)
8.  Mongstad floor mirror
9.  Target Clyborn Loft arm chair in houndstooth
10.Target Tripod floor lamp with drum shade
11. Hopen 8-drawer dresser
12. Target Peony pillow
13. Boscov's burlap drapery panels
14. Gislev rug
15. Dwell Studio Andalusia comforter set

We already have most of the main furniture pieces. I can't wait to make it into our little sanctuary!!!!
So as some of you might know, I jumped the broom almost two weeks ago! I feel so blessed to be married to my best friend! It was so memorable, quirky, unbelievable, and joyful - I cried more happy tears than I ever have in my entire life. Whoo! A very amazingly-talented young woman by the name of Brianna Goodwin (of Brianna Renee Goodwin Photography) captured our big day and more than exceeded my greatest expectations! Allow me to share them with you. These are entitled "Cook Peek".






 I can't wait to see more! Stay tuned!!!
We just moved into our very own first place! With the wedding just next week, we haven't been able to put our apartment together yet, but I'm sooo excited about the possibilities! At the moment, here are some lovely images that are inspiring me!


Large artwork


Cozy neutrals dipped in color


A pair of chic lounge chairs (with awesome pillows)


Lime greens (and leafy greens)


They call me mellow yellow...


And black and white - because they NEVER goes out of style!
RecentlyI went dreaming through Urban Outfitters furniture section. Their stuff is so awesome, and I know that it would like fab in almost any setting. Here are some of my faves.



This table reminded me of an underwear display a retail store. Secretly I've always wanted a walk-in closet with one of these in the center displaying layers of my cute undies. Hey, a girl can dream, right?




I just couldn't shield myself from this Ikat slipper chair. How delightful are the colors?




I thought that this coffee table was pretty industrial chic,
especially because you can fold it up and take it with you.




I'm pretty much in love with this color. For some reason I keep thinking about George Jetson 
whenever I see it. Double points for folding up to reveal storage for your blankies.




This tufted bench just screams glamor. This would be adorable as an alternate for a coffee table. 
I would add a mirrored tray for holding drinks!




For some reason or another, I've always wanted a modern settee.
It would be great for lounging with my ipod and a magazine.




A mid century rocker, yes please. Pair with a colorful throw pillow and call it posh.



Why do I love this quirky little coffee table? Maybe because it's an oldie but goodie.
Repaint the top a funky color and I think it would be a show-stopper.



Okay, let's talk about how badly I want this paisley accent chair, or on second thought, let's not. 
I'd get too emotional. Like what you see? Mosey on over to the website! :)
