killer color combo: black. grey. white. wood.

I've been on the hunt for a studio space here in Austin. Things are getting very busy and I need a bigger space to work in. I've just outgrown things around here. I also think I am itching a bit to decorate a new space for myself. In just a short few months of being in Austin, my style has drastically evolved. It's a lot of fun to change, play and explore different styles. Austin has a lot of very modern spaces, which I usually am not really into but recently I am loving the vibe of loft life. One studio I found has a gray cinderblock wall which I sort of loved. Then of course my brain got to imagining the styled space and blacks, greys, exposed woods and whites started dancing through my head...

I love the way the modern color palate mixes with wood to create a warmer, cozier vibe. While its a more masculine combo, I think you can still make it feel feminine and pretty. Just a more sophisticated pretty.

Of course you can't forget how important the details are. I love exposed lightbulbs, wood accents, clear antique glass items, and of course vintage art. Portraits are so in right now so I've been on the hunt for those when I'm antiquing.

Whose ready to move now too?

Fall bedroom makeover with Target

With fall fast approaching, I wanted a little something different for my bedroom. It's pretty with lilac and gold but I wanted something more rich, more modern for the colder months. Of course black was so necessary. So, when Target approached me with a bedroom makeover I knew I had to take part! So with under $150 in my pocket to use, I created a modern black and gold vibe to my previously romantic room. Now I am in love!

Here's what I felt that the room needed.

1- I changed out my white lampshades for these black lampshades. It made the vintage crystal lamp look so much richer.

2- I swapped out my antique french mirror for these fab gold sea urchins , they are a bit more modern in feel.

3- Nate Berkus has really been killing it with his Target collections. I felt that this Geometric gold vase would edge up the femininity of my room a bit.

4- Absolutely obsessed with the black and white Nate Berkus pillow look, I had to have them. They are a tad small for my liking but add a little glamour.

5- I have a thing for wings and feathers, so of course adding this gold angel wing dish for my jewels at night.
