Coming Soon // Home Tour

One of my favorite blogs... Smile and Wave... has started doing something really fun over at her place. She's started having home tours with some of her online friends, neighbors, and local friends!



She has done two home tours so far and I've loved both of them! One was for a family of seven living in what would seem to be a really small space for them... but it totally worked! It was also WAY stylish. :)

The next tour was especially inspiring for me because they were apartment dwellers. :) Also super stylish!

Check out the home tours--- HERE!

All of those home tours really did something for my creative gene. I've kind of hit a rut since I did my first official "rearranging" of Adam and I's apartment when we got married. I've been lacking either motivation or I've hit a creative-wall when it comes to these areas-

*I'm not in love with my craft room.

*Our bedroom could really use some work.

*There is nothing hanging on the walls.

*And I have a lot of WHITE doors... that just need some love. :)

There are other areas of the apartment that I absolutely LOVE though... so, I thought a goal was in order.

My very own home tour!

I am going to be spending the next couple of weeks working on the above areas in the hope of getting our home ready for it's Smitten with a Smidge debut.

I won't give an official launch time just yet... knowing myself I won't keep it... but I'll be posting little smidges of progress along the way.

If you all get inspired to do your own home tour, join my flickr group {here} and I'll post photos of your lovely living spaces here too!



Hope you all enjoy the process!

Something New // Continued

As I mentioned earlier, I've added something new to my blog today.

Anyone guess what it was?

My mom did. :)

It's my Project Restyle button!!! It's called 52 weeks of Restyling... basically it's a bunch of people joining together to share old things that they have either made new again, or completely restyled.

I thought this would be so fun, so I decided to join! I really want to find some old dresses that I can bring some new love too. I haven't found any yet, but I am for sure keeping my eye out!

You can read about the whole Project Restyle idea at A Beautiful Mess. This blog has been mentioned here before, but I just love it so much I have to mention it again! I never leave this site without feeling completely  inspired. :)



{One of my favorite projects...}

I am definitely ready for spring so I can get some new, fun projects rolling. Anyone else ready for spring projects?

Feel free to share them in the comments... :)

Feeling the fever,

Needing some motivation...

I should have tons of motivation  considering the post I have below. lol. 

But... it's kind of chilly this morning and for some reason I'm just not feeling in the "cleaning" mood. Especially since my laundry pile is ginormous!!!!!

So, I'm on the search for creative/beautiful pictures to get my creative juices flowing.

Here's what I found-

{Love these fabric covered light switch plates! Now to find a D.I.Y. for them...}

{What a cool idea! I need to find me some cool, vintage embroidery hoops. : )}

{I love cupcakes.... and owls!!!! This look so simple too!}

{I want this room. Period.}

{Such a cool pic...}

{Love this.}

{Cutest shoes... ever!]

Color me crazy...

These bright colors make me happy. Hope they do the same for you!

P.S- Now I really want to make an art journal, watch a Disney classic, sit in a colorful chair, and eat a cupcake.... sounds like a good Friday night to me!
