The Chains of Love

Hello beautiful people!
I was doing a little net surfing and came across the shop, The Chains of Love. I love the different pieces of jewelry that they offer. Very refreshing. I never heard of leg chains, but I am loving these-




I also love this earring/necklace combo-

Z Gallerie Field Trip

Yesterday my husband and I hung out outside of the house (something that we don't really do that much). We had lunch at CPK, and went to Ikea. We happened to stop by Z Gallerie because I had been dying to go in for weeks (I saw some great items online and wanted to see them in person). While there, I saw this amazing bed---

Then we saw this one (which Simon flipped for)---

Here are a few more things that we saw and loved:

I absolutely cannot wait to start decorating our home! Has anyone started a new design project around the house?

Ashton's Sweet 16!

I remember when I turned sixteen. I felt like a new person, and when I looked in the mirror in the morning before school, my face looked different. My face looked more mature. It was strange. Even more strange, my face still looks like I'm sixteen according to a lot of people. That's kinda good and kinda bad. Good because it seems that I am going to age well, but bad because I look crazy buying alcohol {stare at my face, stare at my ID, stare at my face again}.

Anyway, I wanted to share the "sweet" sweet 16 birthday party invitations that I completed this week for Ashton. I wanted them to be elegant and fun but still reflective of a teenager. Her favorite color is pink, so of course pink was incorporated. Enjoy!

Kitchen Love Triangle

The next room that I plan to decorate is the kitchen {mainly since it's adjoined to the great room}. We're thinking of painting a small section of a wall with chalkboard paint since we always have lists and thoughts to jot down. I'm still trying to decide what the main color of the walls will be, but I've narrowed it down to a shade of grey...not sure which one yet though. So as I was browsing kitchens I came across these two gorgeous ones. I can see myself nestled in them with a glass of wine and jazz playing in the background.

Great Room Inspiration

One thing that I told myself is that this year I would dedicate myself to decorating my house. The first few months of getting settled in and used to paying a mortgage are over, so now it's time for the fun to begin!

I have been looking at different design styles, color schemes, etc. and I have just about finalized the colors that I am going to do for three rooms. I'm starting with the great room since we need to hang curtains up (the neighbors behind us can probably see straight into our house since we have a 2-story great room with windows at the top, eek!). I am loving this image; it's so sleek and sexy.

The colors in this room are similar to the colors that I would like to do, however I plan to add turquoise and yellow. Inspiration board to come...

Thoughts?

It's almost V-Day! ...

...But you may or may not care. Well for those that do care, here are a few greeting cards that you can give to that special someone in your life! More items available on my etsy shop, LrnMDesign.etsy.com

Nyla's Favor Tags

I had the pleasure of designing the favor tags for 3 year old Nyla! The theme for her party was "The Princess and the Frog", so I designed the tags with a princess crown and a little jewel embellishment. Hey, she calls herself a princess all of the time, so it's fitting! My sister baked the cookies (chocolate chip and snickerdoodle...yum!), and I dropped some M&M's at the bottom of each bag for a burst of color.
