Today was one of those days where I just wanted to look at gorgeous spaces for some inspiration and something nice and enjoyable to look at. So I went to Pinterest, naturally.

And let me tell you, while I did find ENDLESS amounts of gorgeous living rooms, bedrooms and more, almost every picture I clicked either went to another page on Pinterest or to a Tumblr page with no direct link, just a full page of images – not the one I had clicked on! Needless to say, Pinterest frustrates the heck out of me sometimes with all of its inconsistencies. Does anyone else find that problem? It could just be the type of day I’m having – which is why I’ve included these pretty images above – even though they have nothing in common!

I’m in the mood for a white space with pale pinks and greys and fluffy pillows and fur. I’m not sure why, but that was what I was looking for. I’m constantly drawn to that and may need to recreate a girly grey room in my home – I’m almost there with my bedroom – I would just need to switch out some blues for pinks, if my fiancee allowed!

So anyway, now that I’ve rambled on. What do you think of these spaces? What catches your eye? I know that gold sequin wall sure catches mine!

It doesn’t matter who I’m out dining with, but if I’m in a restaurant and there’s an option to sit on a bench versus chairs, I always fight for the bench. Are you like that? There’s just something so cozy and intimate about bench dining.

Which leads me to today’s product pick – the Tomato Bench Dining Set. With this modern dining set, I could have the bench seat every day of my life! Available at Wharfside, the Tomato Bench is made to order, so you can choose from a large variety of leathers and fabrics to suit your style. I’m really liking the fabric and leather contrast in the image above – and I would love to add some bright fun pillows to my kitchen.

What do you think of the Tomato Bench? Would you love to have bench seating in your home?

It seems like large glass domes have been popping up in home decor everywhere. Rather than just putting a piece on display, the glass dome calls more attention to it – almost saying that it’s such a special item that it must be guarded by the dome!

The look is fairly simple, and can be used in SO many ways, as shown above. First, a plant is covered by a glass dome. Then, a series of bright Christmas ornaments are arranged in domes of varying heights. I love this look as opposed to the easy way of putting ornaments in bowls – something I have in my own home! In the third picture, a statue is settled inside a glass dome, giving it a sort of museum vibe.

All three of the images are completely different looks, yet with that glass dome in common.

What do you think of glass domes and home decor – do you love this look or could you do without it? Do you have something like this in your home?

Do you ever have an idea of something in your head but you don’t know how to execute it? This is something that’s driving me crazy right now!

I have this idea for jeweled picture frames to use at our wedding to display table numbers. I figure making them myself will be less expensive, but I can’t figure out exactly what I want to do. I love the idea of vintage brooches and costume jewelry, but I know that could get expensive quickly. I found an Etsy show that has tons of Swarovski crystals with flat backs, that aren’t too expensive and I think mixing those with pearls might be what I’m looking for. But then there’s the idea of those flat back marbles you find in the bottom of vases – those are inexpensive and have a nice sparkle to them.

To help myself figure this all out, I created the moodboard above with some ideas. Which is your favorite? Do you have any insight as to how I can recreate these looks on my own without breaking the bank??

Happy Friday! Seems like everyone I talk to today is anxious to get out of the office and enjoy the weekend ahead. Are you feeling that way today? Hopefully not!

Anyway, here’s the weekly six for this week:

1- Miles Redd’s Big Book of Chic – a good gift to get and a good gift to give!

2 – Loving these morganite and rose gold rings.

3 – Fun cookie idea for the kids.

4 – Beautiful and easy ornament wreath DIY.

5 – My favorite Christmas movie – what’s yours?

6 – The color-blocked styling of this bookshelf is so chic and easy to achieve!

Have you read anything good this week?

Have a great weekend!

Next week, I’m having a few girlfriends over to decorate Christmas ornaments. We got together in the Fall to decorate pumpkins and we were all about the glitter. To get ready for next week, I’ve been looking for sparkling DIY ornaments that we can complete in one night while chatting and sipping on some wine.

Although we can easily take clear or colored ornaments and just cover them in glitter, I wanted something that forces us to be a bit more creative. Here’s what I’ve found so far: Tinsel Snowflakes, Snow-Capped Ornaments and No-Mess Glitter Ornaments.

I love the idea of the Tinsel Snowflakes because each of us can cut out whatever we please from cardboard and cover it in immense amounts of glitter. The snow capped ornament are perfect for when we’re feeling too lazy to cover the entire ornament in glitter – plus it gives a nice look! And the no-mess ornaments – I love how you get the glitter look without worrying about finding glitter all around the house from Christmas to the 4th of July. This DIY uses wood cleaner, but I also saw one that used hairspray on the inside of the ornament. I’m wondering if paint would work as well!

Do you have any glittery DIYs for us to use at our Ornament Party? Please share!
