style file! happy blues + a hint of mint

i am really loving these colors right now! the cobalt blue is so rich and the teal and mint colors make it so fresh.  these colors make me think of the blues in the ocean, and butterfly wings.  thus making them perfect for inducing that special summertime feel. 
i love in this room how the blues and greens just blend from one to the other so effortlessly.
pillows are an easy way to bring this rich color to your space.

layer on some rugs
glassware is a perfect way to incorporate these colors! and very easy to find!



we these happy colors are enough to brighten the rest of my day!
and i hope yours too!

cookin' up a fantastic kitchen!

for some reason, i have recently been obsessed with making home made soft pretzels.  i found this fun recipe for them on pinterest and ever since i saw it i can't stop thinking about making them! 
so then of corse, thinking of making yummy food just lead me to start dreaming about beautiful kitchens to make them in!!! here are a few kitchens i am loving right now!!!

 i am a huge fan of open shelving!!!! i also love the concrete countertop and the white subway tiles.
 the light fixture is amazing as well as the round island.  and that mirrored backsplash is sooo chic! plus it makes this tiny space seem so much bigger!
 i love that they chose unconventional accessories that you wouldn't normally use in a kitchen.
and this is just all around amazing!! i love all the light!  the countertops are beautiful, i love the banquett, and the dark floors, and the light fixture!!! it just all looks so great! i think this looks like a place i could get an whole lot of cooking done in!!!!
thank you all for reading!!!!

words of wisdom!

i've been thinking about this a lot lately.  it's so hard to remember all the wonderful things we have in our lives when we are just focused on getting to the next big thing. we need to spend more time taking in everything that we have around us instead of wishing and hoping for what we don't have.  i think i'm going to start a series on this topic.  so be sure to look for it!!! i appreciate everyone who reads my post!!! 
 i hope you all have a wonderful day enjoying all your blessings!!!
