December 23rd, 2009 Remember when I posted about my favorite Christmas color schemes, blue/silver and purple/gold? I decided all the inspiration pictures were fun to look at, but I wanted to do something more with them. I picked one of my favorite pictures from both color schemes and designed a living room around them.
The blue/silver color scheme led me to pick more glamorous decor. I wanted the blues to really pop, so I stuck with whites and silvers mixed with an occasional pop of dark wood as the neutral accent colors. I designed it around this Christmas tree from Canadian House and Home.

Here is the fully decked-out blue Christmas living room:
I started with this fabulous Montego navy pennyback sofa. I loved its clean lines mixed with the tufting to make it feminine and masculine, and oh so glam. Next, I wanted a rug to ground the room. I didn’t want anything too dark because I didn’t want to take away from the tree or the already dark sofa. This fleece rug did the trick. I

October 16th, 2009 Lately I’ve been inspired by pink, green, and blue, which are also the colors in my bedroom at college. I was looking around online and came across this image at Overstock.
I decided to create a whole college bedroom around this artwork. I wanted it to be bright and airy to match the picture and also because the weather in Minnesota lately has been very dark and dreary. I really love how it turned out. I tried to find everything fairly cheap and some parts of it are DIY, which I will explain later in the post.

September 14th, 2009 I went to TJ Maxx this weekend with my roommates to check out all the cheap goodies. I am always amazed with that store every time I step through the door. I always find at least one fantastic item and I hardly ever walk out empty handed. The prices are so good even I can afford to shop there! It drives me crazy, though, when I see things that I absolutely love (and become obsessed with) but I cannot buy because either I don’t need them, I don’t have a place for them, or they are still out of my price range. What I found this weekend matched all three of those. Behold the most beautiful chair I have ever seen in my entire life (I am just barely exaggerating) with a price tag of only $149.99 (and there were three in the
