Milkshake!

While I was gone for a week, my hubby bought me a Ninja. I absolutely LOVE it!! I use it at least two times a day! So far, this has been my favorite milkshake I've made:

Reese Pieces Milkshake! It tastes so good!! It is also low calorie. I LOVE Hungry Girl & her recipes!! Have you tried any? What's your favorite?

the search for a barely there turquoise

After looking more & more at Benjamin Moore's Robins Nest, it may be a little to dark for me. There isn't going to be any natural light in the bathroom, I'm thinking I need to go lighter. I LOVE the paint color at in my current bathroom {I'm painting this same color in our soon to be master bathroom} I'd love to find a blue-green in this same shade. I'm basically looking for a very very pale turquoise. Barely there turquoise. Yum! The paint color in my current bathroom was a custom paint color mix from the Lettered Cottage. When the guys mixed it at Home Depot, they actually thought it was white. That's how pale I'm looking for. I love for the accessories to be the star of the show, and the paint color to be a neutral hint of color back drop. Okay, here we go!

I haven't saw the paint swatches in person yet, but here's a two colors I'm looking at:

I'm making a trip to Benjamin Moore & checking out their lighter colors. Any suggestions on a pale, barely there turquoise? Any brand! :)

Chirp and Robins Nest!

After looking at numerous shower curtains everywhere for our guest bathroom, I decided on this one from Bed Bath & Beyond!

Bed Bath & Beyond

This picture seriusly does not do this shower curtain justice. It is gorgeous! It's by Lenox from their collection "Chirp." Here is a picture of the china, its shows a better detail of the pattern better. And yes, the "chirp" china is now on my wish list. Absolutely gorgeous!

The color I'm thinking about painitng the bathroom is "Robins Nest" by Benjamin Moore. I love how the name of the paint color goes along with my shower curtain! haha It's funny because I had the paint color picked out before the shower curtain.

Here are examples of the paint color:

I'm not positive that I'm going to use it, I haven't bought a sample of it yet, but so far it's my pick! :)

Have you used Benjamin Moore's "Robins Nest?" What do you think of the collection "Chirp?"

curtains with trim

Hey there! Sorry I have been MIA this week! Chanel & I packed up & took a little road trip to Kentucky to visit my family for a week. It's been such a nice trip! I think I will make it an annual trip! I am missing my handsome hubby like crazy, it will be so nice to see him when I'm back home at the beach!

The decor that's been on my mind lately is curtains! Our new apartment is going to have 9ft ceilings which means the curtains I have now aren't going to work. That's one of my pet peeves, curtains that look like capris! lol I love when curtains touch the floor, it's so elegant!

One of my ideas is to buy sheer or white curtains and add trim. Here are two of my favorites!

{Spearmint Baby}

I love the dark contrast between the black tassel trim & the white flowly curtains. I love the modern vibe it gives! The cherry yellow pom pom trim is also too cute!! Still debating.... :)

Have you ever tried tassel or pom pom trim?

Bath & Body Works

Have you been to Bath & Body Works lately? They are having their semi-annual sale now. Be careful, it can be dangerous! lol They are having the best sales! While I was there, I fell in love with two candles:

Summer Boardwalk:

"Like memories of the best summer spent at the beach - caramel-glazed popcorn, warm taffy-apples and salted, sweet cream." ~B&BW

Ice Cream Shop

"Just like the perfect ice cream sundae – creamy vanilla, rich toffee and sweet almond blossom with a cherry on top." ~B&BW

Can you say delicious?! They names are so cute! Ice Cream Shop & Summer Boardwalk, how cute is that?!  The pictures on the candles are so adorable as well! Not to mention the beautiful description! They are both in my top 10 ever best selling candles. Seriously, and I love candles! Unfortunately, they aren't included in the sale. {I guess because they are brand new scents} Although at the check-out counter, I did find the mini Summer Boardwalk for $2. It's regular $3.50. Yes, I snatched it up! It's so little & adorable. It makes up for the smallness lol. My eyes are definitely watching these two guys to go on sale. My husband & I love to randomly drive down to the beach & walk on the boardwalk and share a waffle cone. Maybe that's why I love them so much! :)

Have you been to the Semi-Annual Sale? Any favorite products?

gold sunburst mirror craze

There has been an apartment update, we decided to get the two bedroom/two bathroom instead of one bedroom/one bathroom! I'm so excited & thankful... mores space to decorate! hehe :)

I found a beautiful gold sunburst mirror on Craigslist last night, now I'm just debating on whether or not to get it. Here are some beautiful examples of a gold sunburst mirror:

What do ya think? I'm pretty sure I want to get it now if it's still available! :)

glass table-top dining!

Let's talk dining room tables! I LOVE pedestal tables. There is just something about them that I adore! My husband & I recently discovered that he liked glass-top tables. We thought it would be awesome if we could combine the two together. An extra extra added bonus is that having a glass-top dining table in our apartment is going to be super awesome because it is going to look light & airy, not taking up much space. While I was on Craigslist {again! haha} I found this beauty:

Imagine her in a coat of white glossy paint with a beautiful round glass-top! Are ya with me!? :D We called & picked her up yesterday! I can't wait to get to work on her! Here are a few examples of glass-top dining tables:
