Woot woot, it’s Friday!! Welcome, I’m so happy to have you here today! Do you have any big plans for the weekend? My son has been on Spring Break this week, so we’re just going to wrap up the last of his break spending time together as a family! Today I’m taking the kids to a book store.. They absolutely love to read, I love that!!

This week I’ve been inspired by beautiful brights! Just adding pops of color into your neutral decor, decorating your office, bedroom on incorporating it into your wardrobe is so much fun! I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

T.G.I.F! With two snow days to start the week, I feel like my week has been cut short, but I’m embracing the weekend despite it!

Any exciting plans for the weekend? I left the house decorated for Winter in general after taking my Christmas stuff down, but now I’m over it and spending the day taking that all down! Oh, the joys of decorating ♥ ♥

Color is what has been inspiring me this week, so let’s get to it…

1. This gorgeous bright floral chair would be the perfect statement piece for my soon-to-be office! The variety of colors makes it easy to go with many colors! I’ve been torn on whether do decorate my office in pastels or brights. This chair has me thinking brights…. 🙂

2. I am really in love with accenting with gold! I love this beautiful matte gold table lamp! It’s the perfect touch to this desk, and I imagine the entire office! The charming, sleek design of this lamp is very flattering to any office and a must-have for mine!!

3. More gold accents! Picture frames and printables are a simple and super affordable way to add charm and class to your office space! Not to mention, you can change out the printables as often as you want! I love the pops of the bright pink post it notes in the back too! Such a simple concept, yet bold impact!

4. Fresh flowers!! Always a must… You can dress up any room just by adding fresh flowers! I love this sea foam blue glass, it makes the color of this gorgeous peony stand out even more! Imagine how perfect it would look on a beautiful white table!

Mirror Makeover!!

I wanted to do the kids bathroom with a fun, unisex theme! I didn’t want it to be too girly for my son, and vice versa! My color pallet for the bathroom was going to be brights!! I will do another post for the entire bathroom reveal 🙂 To add some character to the half bath downstairs and kids bathroom upstairs, I bought two mirrors for $25 each, to replace the boring, clean- line ones currently in our bathrooms. As, I had mentioned, I wanted the kids bathroom to be bright and fun! I headed to walmart to peek at the spray paint! I found this great color, called Blue Ocean Breeze. It resembles turquoise, and I knew it would be perfect for this mirror!!

Here’s what you will need for this makeover! :

Mirror or frame of choice
white or gray primer { I used Krylon Gray Primer }
spray paint color of choice { mine was Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze, Gloss }
clear gloss finish { I used Krylon Ultra Clear Gloss Finish }
painters tape
newspaper and/or plastic

First, make sure the frame of your mirror is clean and dry. Start by using newspaper or sheet plastic to cover the mirror, hold with painters tape. (This to me, is easier than taking the entire mirror out!) I decided to spray paint outside on top of plastic, probably wasn’t the best idea due to the fact that it was quiet windy out, but it got the job done! If you plan on painting indoors, make sure your space is properly ventilated! Cover the entire piece with primer, let dry and go over it again for any missed spots. Begin applying your color of choice in long, even swipes, back and forth, to every side until covered. Let dry for a minimum of 15 minutes, and add a second coat. Let this dry for, at least, an hour. Once you have determined the entire frame is dry, add your glossy finish. If you just want a smooth shine, a soft, swift coat will do the job. If you prefer the super glossy look, lather that baby on 😉 Once completely dry, peel your newspaper/ plastic away and scrape off any paint that may have leaked through and hang your masterpiece!!

I was so excited with how this project turned out! It is definitely the statement piece in the kids bathroom and so beautiful!
