Recently I had the opportunity to help refresh the look of my childhood room. My seventh grade self fell in love with lavender walls, a pink shag run, and a monogrammed headboard, but it was definitely time for an update! To cut down on cost I decided it would be best to try and work with some of the existing elements. I kept all of my white furniture and got a new bed. With the addition of a few new items the room is really starting to come together! My favorite being the new Anthropologie bedding which has a stunning color palette. The bed should be the centerpiece, and this embroidered duvet does the trick. Take a look at some of my favorite pieces in the room:
STL Design Week | Terrarium Workshop
Yesterday I had a chance to participate in my first Saint Louis Design Week event, a Terrarium Workshop! This workshop took place at Flowers and Weeds, located on Cherokee Street in St. Louis. Jessica Douglass's fantastic greenhouse is located behind The Heirloom Room, an equally fantastic antique shop. I had a wonderful time making my very own terrarium and taking a multitude of pictures around the space. If you find yourself on Cherokee Street don't miss out on visiting both!
Black & White Kitchen
Having spent some time browsing apartments while in St. Louis, I fell in love with a black and white checkered floor in one of the kitchens. It has been on my mind ever since and I thought I would do a little searching and find kitchen accessories along the same lines:
Bonsai Bliss
I have long had a fascination with bonsai trees. Last Christmas I received my first Juniper Bonsai as a gift and now I am truly hooked. While I knew these plants were not know for being the easiest to care for, I was optimistic I could keep my first tree alive. Unfortunately, my dear tree has become sick and I just today I received my second bonsai in the mail! I had a wonderful experience purchasing this tree from Eastern Leaf. Hopefully I have better luck with my new Ginseng Ficus!
