Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with all things gold-dipped. That touch of gold adds just enough glamour – transforming an ordinary object into something fabulous. The best part? Many times it’s a simple DIY project!

Here are a few of my faves… enjoy!

1. DIY gold-and-glitter dipped feathers; Ryan Michelle & Ellie Mae | 2. faux deer head with gold antlers; mahzerandvee (Etsy) | 3. gold-dipped flatware; Anthropologie | 4. DIY table with gold-dipped legs; designsponge | 5. DIY gold-tipped baby mary janes; le zoe musings | 6. DIY gold-tipped bowls; vitamini handmade

Any gold-dipped items you’re currently coveting?

Ciao for Now,

Currently occupying my mind and my time…

Pump Up Your Style

I’m loving the simplicity and elegance of this soap dispenser. A classic way to add style to any bathroom.

Soap Dispenser – Zara Home

My Sunshine

If there’s one thing that can brighten my day, it’s a pair of new shoes. These yellow beauties pack an extra punch of color.

Pumps – Manolo Blahnik; Bergdorf Goodman

Dubious DIY

I’m obsessed with the oversized balloon-tassel trend, but they can be pretty pricey. I’m going to try my hand at DIY’ing these for Keira’s party this weekend. Wish me luck.

Purr-fect Storage

It doesn’t get more adorable than this. I’m sure if Keira could talk, she would be begging me for this. Wish granted!

Storage Basket – H&M

I know today is April Fools and all, but I’m not foolin’ around when I tell you how obsessed I am with anything spotted. The spotted trend is running rampant (in a good way) from decor to fashion, and I can’t get enough.

Here are just a few of the pieces that I’m dying to get my hands on.

See what I mean?!? So stinkin’ cute!

OMG! So, I am completely, totally, 100% obsessed with peach right now! Who knew the color that was the epitome of the 80’s would make such a come-back? I mean, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised… you know what the say.. all trends (fashion, interior, or otherwise) are cyclical.

Just looking at my little moodboard makes me smile. Hopefully it makes you smile too!

Are there any peach items that you’re obsessing over right now?

It’s official, spring is here and the floral trend is definitely in bloom. Not for the color-phobic, these floral patterns are bold, busy and beautiful. With a nod to the old-world countryside, here are 6 pieces that will update your space or wardrobe and demand attention and envy.

Are you bold enough to give this trend a try?

World Art

Educational and adorable. I completely fell in love with this piece of art and just had to buy it for the nursery.

Michael Tompsett; Zulily

New Shoes

I’m dreaming of wearing stilettos again (once I give birth and these cankles go away ;-)) This pair is classic but still make a statement.

Jean-Michel Cazabat; Intermix

Agagte Coasters

These coasters are functional, yes… but more importantly, they are gorgeous! A perfect housewarming gift… assuming you’re not on a strict budget 🙂

Aerin

The new “it” Rug

I think this rug is stalking me. I see some version of it everywhere I look… in stores, on Pinterest, in magazines. It can only mean one thing… I have to have it!

It’s the last day in our 7-day series covering the Venice Garden & Home Tour. We close out the series exploring what makes Venice, Venice… its culture.

Despite the $1M+ entry price-point for a home, Venice Beach remains a hub of counter-culture in the middle of Los Angeles. Art and sculpture are a key way its residents express their individuality and share their beliefs. One of the most fun and interesting parts of the tour, here’s the highlight gallery:

Statement Art

Functional Art (it’s a chair made of driftwood)

His & Her Art

Political Art

Repurposed Art

Tranquil Art

Antler Art

Creepy-Crawly Art

This brings our series on the Venice Garden & Home Tour to a close. Hope you’ve enjoyed the highlights.

Tomorrow, it’s back to great decor to help you add personality to your home.
