Remember when I did the one room challenge and IKEA hacked the black and white striped dresser? Well, I now am obsessed with IKEA hacks. As I fill in my new Austin digs, I am totally leaning towards IKEA because this is just a temporary space and I don't want to spend an arm and a leg to get high style. Plus, its kinda fun.

I just really thought this little glamorous studded sidetable was pretty adorable.

I also love the high contrast vibe this black and white dresser gives. You can get overlays made for ikea items here. Genius! Look at what just a few details give to the basic bookshelf.

I think this cool swivel desk chair looks so fab, with a coat of gold.

You know how much we all covet amazing closets...well, look how xo jordan tricked out hers with an ikea island hack.

How chic would an entryway be with this chic console look?

A black and white striped banquette OR re-imagine this look where they took tv area to another level...

As always, I love a gold coffee table so this hack just really speaks to me.

If instead of a table, you prefer a tufted ottoman as a coffee table, then shoot for this fab look.

Pretty chic, huh? I know. I'm completely inspired. Now I'm off to IKEA to do some shopping! xo

Now that was a weekend huh? Who else has a jam packed crazy filled Memorial Day weekend? This is one of my favorite holidays because it really just kicks off the summertime season. It rained so much in Austin and I think its going to rain all week. There is something special about the rain though, I just love to get very domestic when its pouring out...light candles, play movies, etc. It gave me a lot of time looking at magazines, pinterest, and getting as much inspiration as I could.

Right now, a few things I'm loving for the home....exposed wood accents. Yes. The total French country shabby chic vibe. I think it looks so good against other modern pieces. Like this vanity area. The mirror really sets the tone and completes the mix for the rest of the look. I adore the silver, too!

Now this headboard is not exactly the wood. I just LOVE the natural fabric mixed with the mirrored pieces. Get this one here, its on a MEGA sale! I just think this natural element in your home, can add a summer beach vibe element that is needed in these next few months.

Now this look may be a little overboard, but for me I am thinking about adding a few light wood lamps like these to my bedside tables to incorporate some of this magic. It will look chic amongst my very edgy metal & glam bedroom items.
