Happy Friday!! Another week has flown by, do you feel that way too?

Looking forward to play-dates with friends, a little shopping, spending time with the fam and even my first jewelry party of 2014!

This week I’ve been inspired by bold, black accents in decor!

1. Feminine- classy, I look at this picture and am just drawn to it! I’m in love with the gallery wall, it’s fantastic! The sporadic black frames give the wall depth! This is the perfect look for my office. I love the light colored couch with bold animal print pillows, and I really love the velvet green- fabric chair! It’s so much fun!
2. Those floors are the bees-knees! But, I’m a total sucker for a claw-foot tub!! This beautiful, black claw-foot tub makes the entire bathroom! At some point in my life, I really hope to own a claw-foot tub. They are just gorgeous, I can’t even image!!
3. So pretty! I love the mix of gold and rose gold accents! The simple black picture frame, along with the black and white photo create a calming combination for this cute little bathroom! I love seeing things I typically wouldn’t put together, and they turn out cute, like this one!
4. I love the hot pink used in this office space! I am just dying to get to decorating my office! I don’t “have” it yet because our basement isn’t finished, but it’s coming soon! I love browsing ideas and gathering a bunch of inspiration!

Hey you! I bet you’re just as glad it’s Friday as I am 😉

Thanks for stopping by and starting your weekend out with me!

This week I’ve been loving the bold look of black details around the house!

Lately, I’ve been more daring than usual and incorporating black into my decor.

Join me as I share a few of my favorites this week!

1. I’m crazy about this dutch door in this rear entryway. Not to mention the gorgeous exposed brick flooring and fabulous stairs! The door really makes this space for me though! The perfect addition for that cottage look, yet it screams bold with black color!

2. I love the idea of turning a small or unused coat closet into a quaint reading nook! It doesn’t need to be big but it makes a big impact! My kids adore to read so this would be something we would use a lot! I’m still working on my husband to grow keen to the idea, let’s hope he grows fond soon (wink!)

3. This is a beautiful fireplace makeover from The Lettered Cottage! Such a drastic before and after for only $82!! Our fireplace is in need of a little makeover and this project gives me great inspiration and I’m sure it will YOU too!

4. If your home doesn’t don a space for a formal dining room, perhaps you have a wide hallway? Think outside the box a tad and turn that wide hallway into a cozy formal dining room using a narrow table. This is a really unique idea! Add pendant lighting or a large chandelier to tie the space together!

We made it through the week, wahoo!! Thank you for starting your weekend out with me 🙂 This weeks favorite pins are more home inspiration! I love that the weather is getting warmer so we can work on making our “new” home truly ours! Now lets get to it…

1. If you follow me on Facebook, you will know that I’m having the urge to paint our, currently navy, shutters black! I love the rich, classic feel it provides! I love the shutters pictured here, clean, crisp and matched perfectly with the rot-iron lantern. What do you think?!

2. I absolutely adore the thoughts of stepping into my own back yard for fresh herbs!! These planters boxes would be perfect hanging off the side of a deck or if your windows permit, hanging from the windows! They appear full when in bloom and so eye-catching!!

3. These polka-dot painted pots from Positively Splendid are just darling!! I’ve been crushing over polka-dots lately, so it’s no wonder these caught my eye! The tiered look provides depth and beauty sure to fit any front porch entry way!

4. Would you believe me if I told you these counter tops are concrete?! Aren’t they AMAZING!! They are poured concrete, stamped with wood, stained and glazed. These are the absolute perfect match for what I’ve been looking for and I can only hope my husband will be willing to try this in our kitchen!!
