TGIF!!! Even though I have to work tomorrow...

I'm an event coordinator (have I told you that?) and

it requires a lot of additional hours at the office

at odd times and lots of weekends.

But the bonus is that once in a while I get events

where I get to go check on things....and SHOP!

I have to admit, it was quite difficult to stick

with my "No buying clothing until I lose 10 lbs rule"...

But I did it!  And I'm pretty proud of myself :)

I did buy this great travel bag to put all my toiletries in:

(It looks way bigger in this picture than it really is!)

I always have the problem when I travel I'll have 3 separate

little bags with all my toiletries in them (makeup, shampoo,

hairdryer, etc...) and I'm having to lug them all to the bathroom.

Well, not anymore kiddos!!

(And a bonus?  The inside of the bag is a pretty coral color!)

On to decorating...I'm on a decorating kick!

I've been visiting the Southern Living website

and looking for decorating ideas.

Do you ever visit their website?

If you love light, airy rooms with neautrals and

splashes of color along with creative ideas...

You'll LOVE their website and magazine!

Here are a few pictures that inspire me...

I am dying to make a fabric headboard and Kate from

Centsational Girl made one and was nice enough to share

the tutorial with everyone!  Check it out here!

Aren't these colors spectacular?!?!

I love this tablescape for Easter...

And these place cards are right up my alley!

I love the colors in this floral arrangement.  Nothing brightens up a

room and adds a dose of femininity like a fresh bouquet of flowers...

I think this is such a sweet baby room for those people

who don't want gender specific decor...I gotta say, I love it!

So I'd love to know...

What inspires your decorating ideas?

What kind of style do you have?

P.S. - I have TWO great projects I've completed to show you.

And I'm super excited about it!  :)
