Office Plan

Now that we have our computer up and running I am really inspired to decorate the office. I can't stand bare, white walls in here any longer. So here's my plan:
I want to paint 3 horizontal stripes across the room in Tiffanys Blue. I stole the idea from my Momma, she painted her upstairs bathroom the same color right before my sister's graduation party. I haven't found the exact shade I want yet, but ill find it soon, im sure. This is an example of the color I am aiming for.

I do have a bed in here already so that this room can double as an office/ guest room. But, I haven't gotten any decorative pillows for it yet. I am going to start sewing again soon, so I figured making these pillows would be a great place to start. I do know that I want at least one of the pillows to have the Fleur De Lis pattern on it because I am also redoing our bar stools in the kitchen with that pattern on the cushion so it will tie it all together. I also am wanting to make some burnt orange colored pillows, black, and maybe some stripped pillows just for fun. Here is the Fleur De Lis pattern I am going to buy from JoAnn Fabrics.
I  have found alot of cute little bird pictures and decorativie items that I want to hang in here also. These are from Modcloth.

I do need a shelf for the bookend above, but I'm sure I can find or make some cute ones for pretty cheap.  Soon I will post some before pictures and after pictures so you all can see how it has turned out.

Rompers: any season

My absolute favorite summer outfit is a little romper! They're so easy to wear and so versatile.I found a few on my new obsession, modcloth.










I love them because you can dress them up or down, and wear them in the different seasons. They're comfortable to wear in the summer with a pair of cute flats and run to the farmers market, to grocery store, or to do some shopping. And, in the winter, wear them with a long sleeve tee and cute textured tights and you're good to go. Some are more dressy than others, but with the right accessories they will look good anytime.
If you're going to wear a scoop neck (numbers 1, 6, 10, and 11), a V neck (number 9), a sweetheart (number 3), or strapless(number 4), you can wear mostly any type of necklace because it is a more open neck line. As far as a romper with a deign on the top( number 2, 5, and 7) you could want to stay away from statement necklaces and stick to something more simple. I personally would wear a nice oversized watch and lots of bangles. And for a one shouldered romper, I personally think that nice statement earrings would be uh-mazing! Or again, my favorite "boyfriend" watch. Although with number 11, becuase it is a higher neck line with the bow pattern I would wear cute diamond studded earrings, or something more simple to that effect.
