How are you holding up during this unconventional time? Hoping this post finds you safe at home. I wanted to share a few favorite finds and let you know what I've been up to, hoping to inspire you to create fresh spaces in your home despite the chaos going on around us. Thankfully, I've been busy collaborating with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/isabellastylenc/" target="_blank">Isabella Style</a> <a href="https://www.isabellastyle.com/blog/" target="_blank">{see my recent blog posts here.}</a> I miss being in the <a href="https://www.isabellastyle.com/" target="_blank">Isabella shop + studio</a>, but grateful for an amazing creative team of women to connect with weekly on <a href="https://zoom.us/" target="_blank">Zoom</a> and daily via group texts. I've been <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/BeSoStyle/" target="_blank">pinning</a> ideas, dreaming of minimal style for my interior + current loungy vibe. Here's a recent moodboard which gives you a sense of my style dreams (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/besostyle/" target="_blank">follow along on Instagram</a> for more of what I'm lovin' lately)...<br />

The mood is organic, fresh, simple. Do-able luxury with edited details. Currently craving French-inspired herringbone floors (a possible DIY in my future?). I've also been purging, streamlining and spring cleaning. I started with my porch and outdoor living areas (<a href="https://www.isabellastyle.com/outdoor-living-ideas-inspiration-for-spring/" target="_blank">more spring cleaning + outdoor inspo here</a>). Take a peek at my de-pollened porch which now serves as a family gathering spot, work-from-home office and study niche.<br />

I cleared everything off the mantel. Added an organic branch and scavenged through old watercolor tablets to find one to frame. I love the color mix and always love the subtle statement of a watercolor. Isn't it fun how a mat and frame make any artwork totally legit?</div>

I've been attempting to edit out the clutter and focus on clear surfaces. I've also been diffusing fresh aromas. Lemongrass + Sweet Orange are my go-to essentials. I love <a href="https://amzn.to/2yyLVVo" target="_blank">this set of essential oils</a> in a cute compact package for tidy storing ... and currently coveting <a href="https://amzn.to/3cJZz6y" target="_blank">this ceramic diffuser</a> ...<br />

What have you been dreaming of lately? ... What ways have you been coping with this time of isolation? I'm super grateful for spring weather in NC and time outside. Looking forward to connecting with friends in person again soon. Until then, always over here dreaming, styling + creating whenever possible. Next up for getting my life in order, my home office (which sadly is currently a hoarder's episode of props and way too much stuff). </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The sunprints I made several years ago have decorated photo sets, furniture showrooms, and of course several different rooms + corners of my home. They are a fun craft to do with kids (of any age). It's like magic.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's the step-by-step HOW-TO:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Step 1 – Gather the items you need</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><br /></strong>- <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KSKTG0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=besostyle-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B002KSKTG0&linkId=08308339d770aff9937f3a67073fd212" target="_blank">Sun Print paper</a> (I got mine from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KSKTG0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=besostyle-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B002KSKTG0&linkId=08308339d770aff9937f3a67073fd212" target="_blank">here</a>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- An acrylic sheet (the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KSKTG0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=besostyle-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B002KSKTG0&linkId=08308339d770aff9937f3a67073fd212" target="_blank">Amazon sunprints</a> come with one in the package)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Cardboard or paper towel</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- A tub of cool water (the kitchen sink will do)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Interesting shapes + objects from nature </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">(branches, shells, etc)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Step 2 – Arrange nature elements on a piece of sun paper out of the sunlight.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For best results, arrange your objects on the paper in a dark space indoors (I used a pantry closet).Direct sunlight causes quick exposure of the paper, so you want your elements arranged before you bring it outside.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong>
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Step 3 – Place an acrylic sheet (ie: plexiglass) on top to flatten and hold your items in place on the paper.</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once your items are placed on the paper, cover them with an acrylic sheet to keep them secure as you Use an acrylic</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> sheet when making prints of flat or almost-flat objects to help sharpen the edges between blue and white in your print. Ambient sunlight outdoors will find its way underneath the edges of your objects if they are not pressed firmly to the paper, and you will get sun prints with blended contrasts.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Step 4 – Take your sun print composition outside and place it in direct sunlight for 2-5 minutes.</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The areas of the paper exposed to the sun will fade from blue to white. When you see most of the color disappear from the paper, your print has been fully exposed. If no direct sunlight is available, don’t worry – just expose your print a little longer and wait for the same fading effect. Under cloud cover, the process will take 5-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the clouds.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Step 5 – Rinse your paper in cool water. Watch the white turn into blue and the blue turn into white.</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It’s magical! To get the deepest blue, leave the paper in the water for a while: 1-5 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #626566; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Step 6 – Lay your sun print flatly on paper towel or cardboard and allow it to dry.</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Putting it on something absorbent will help to avoid the formation of water spots by drawing the water away from the sun print paper. By the time the water has dried, you will have a vibrant blue sun print! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fresh summer party ideas + inspiration are available in mass these days, but even with the inundation of images, there's always room for more, right? I mean, who doesn’t need some fun party-decor inspo? Maybe it’s a slightly different twist or tweak, a fresh take on a favorite color palette, or a new creative spin that draws you in. Today I'm sharing some recent party pics ( + hopefully inspiration) from my own backyard. </span><br />

She </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">had a definite vision for</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> the party decor + cuisine ... so the plotting + planning began.

I had plywood cut to size at Lowe's and then stapled the boxwood panels to the wood, using a staple gun. ✔️First inspo realized.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had a vision too. I have long loved the natural canopies shaped by the wild greens in my backyard. I wanted to highlight that and create a boho-inspired picnic area. Of course I just found out that my husband almost whacked those wild vines away right before the party....so thankful he didn't.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I wanted to share a few style favorites I've been loving lately. There seems to be a specific theme capturing my attention.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Blue velvet</span>, in a range of pretty hues, has always tugged at my heart strings ... but now more than ever, I'm hooked.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is it about that luxe feel in luscious ocean shades that gets me every time?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Check-out these visions of velvet from <a href="https://www.cococohome.com/" target="_blank">COCOCO</a> ...</span><br />

This image is via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bprhospitality/?hl=en" target="_blank">bprhospitality</a>, a <a href="http://bprhospitality.com/home-1/" target="_blank">luxury rental</a> in DC. Don't you just want to live here? I do, virtually every day (It's my current screen saver). To me, it's Interior perfection. Lots of natural light, a mix of vintage + modern, simple + lush.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And then there's the power of pairs. This swoon-worthy interior features a striking set of Indigo velvet <a href="https://www.cococohome.com/contemporary-fabric-collection/arden-fabric-collection/" target="_blank">Arden Sofas</a> flanking the fireplace. There is something irresistible about the sheer sophistication of pairs in interior spaces. And I'm loving the brass details on these babies <a href="http://www.ferroushardware.com/dunbar/" target="_blank">(dunbar legs by Ferrous Hardware)</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So how about you, are you drawn to light + bright or a little more dark + moody? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When it comes to style beyond interiors, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">indigo velvet translates so very beautifully to Fall + Winter f</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ashions too. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Where the eye goes, the energy flows" ...the words of our yogi are still resonating in my mind. What we focus on is where our energy will take us. Our intention will drive us, move us, lead us. In yoga, the act of setting an intention is a dedication. It's a way to take your yoga practice beyond your mat and into your lifestyle. Having a focus is key in yoga + life. Lately I've realized how important it is to have focus + intent in the areas I want to grow, whether personally or professionally. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Focus is also an important element in design. Focus, having a focal point, is what draws your eye to what's important, in an art composition or in a room interior. Consider your current design project and ask yourself, "Where's my focus?" Sometimes we have to edit, take away in order to bring the the focal point into focus. There are so many parallels. What do you need to edit in your interior? in your life?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Perhaps what's most evident in yoga + in life, is when we are out of balance. The practice of grounding your feet in position, having a specific stature + rhythm allow you to find your balance on the mat. In life, it can be more complicated... learning to balance self care, parenthood, career, relationships. It requires grounding too, and sometimes starting over. It requires flexibility and forgiveness, of self and others. In design + interior spaces, balance too brings peace + room-to-breathe. {See <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2017/05/shelfie-101-styling-tips.html" target="_blank">my last post</a> on balancing an interior <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2017/05/shelfie-101-styling-tips.html" target="_blank">here</a>.} </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">What are you balancing lately? What ways do you need to ground yourself? I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm on a constant quest for balance. I crave it. If you have any secrets, share your thoughts in the comments. I'd love to hear your perspective. I wrote a post awhile back about the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1585421464/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=besostyle-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1585421464&linkId=27068cef95985daf157832c8dff4ffc6" target="_blank">Artist's Way</a> ... about pursuing the elements you want your life to look like. <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2013/01/discovering-your-cinema-self.html" target="_blank">{Check-out that post here.}</a> I'm always + forever seeking new strategies for obtaining better balance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In yoga the movements between poses, or vinyases, keep the flow of movement going. The poses, motions and transitions build flexibility, strength and momentum. For some reason, my favorite move this weekend was rising up on my toes in downward dog and then jumping to the front of the mat. It dawned on me that the movement of my toes rising allowed me the momentum to jump rather than walk. Similarly, in life lately, I've seen how one move, even a small one, can build momentum toward more and more progress. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have been wanting to build this blog for a long time, but lately with a little focus, I have made some moves to begin to make it happen. Slowly, but surely I'm moving. I'm officially an affiliate with <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6220&awinaffid=333001&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2F" target="_blank">Etsy</a> and <a href="https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/home" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. Two of my go-to sources for props, home and interior accents, fashion, DIY items, etc. {If you want to become an <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?gid=171448&mid=4032&awinaffid=333001&linkid=362688&clickref=%22%3EAwin.com%3C/a%3E" target="_blank">Etsy affilate</a> too, click <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?gid=171448&mid=4032&awinaffid=333001&linkid=362688&clickref=%22%3EAwin.com%3C/a%3E" target="_blank">here</a>.} That move propelled me to do more research at driving more traffic to my blog. I'm learning about SEO, rss feeds, pinging posts ... Oh the rabbit hole of possibilities. I'm such a novice still ... I am wide open people. Share your insights. Here's to momentum taking us exciting places!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is it about a well-designed etagere or bookcase? Is it the sense of order, the pretty mix of layers + textures? What draws you in?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I admit it, I'm guilty. Every time I see <span id="goog_893390333"></span><a href="https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/styling-sell-shelving?_sft_category=styling&sf_paged=2" target="_blank">Emily Henderson's freshly styled bookcases</a><span id="goog_893390334"></span>, I'm inspired. Granted, I'm a photo stylist. These are the things we live for... to style, decorate, accessorize. Give me an empty bookshelf any day, and I'm ready to dig in and style away. Call me crazy, but styling a shelf is my kind-of fun!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I just recently teamed up with two amazingly talented women, <a href="http://kelleyvieregg.com/index/" target="_blank">Kelley Vieregg of KVID {Interior Design}</a> + <a href="http://www.eadeckerphotography.com/" target="_blank">Emily Decker of EA Decker Photography</a>. We were on location in the Charlotte area, in a fabulous kitchen designed by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kvid_interiors/" target="_blank">Kelley</a>. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had the chance to add a few styling touches, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eadeckerphotography/" target="_blank">Emily</a> captured it all in beautiful images. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A killer kitchen, right? I mean, this is what dreams are made of (especially for those of us who adore an all-white kitchen).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I so love collaborating with other creatives. I had such a sense of girl power with this shoot. These lady bosses have got it going on. So much talent, style + creativity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This brief shoot has me craving more opportunities to style, play + collaborate. I also wanted to share a few behind-the-scenes shots and use this opportunity to share some styling insight. A mini Shelfie Styling 101.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know there are plenty of tips out there for styling a beautiful shelf (<a href="https://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/blog/3-steps-to-styling-out-your-shelves" target="_blank">like this one from Em Henderson</a> + <a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2013/09/styling-a-bookshelf-10-homes-that-get-it-right-5-tips-for-your-own.html" target="_blank">this one from Design Sponge</a>), but I wanted to give you my spin on the subject. The first step with styling a shelf is to clear it of everything. That's right, take it all off. Start with a clean slate, and then start building with books + props. I typically love adding artwork into the mix, but this time kept it super clean.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here are a few Quick Tips </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">for Styling a Simple + Chic Shelfie:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. <b>Balance the elements.</b> When styling shelves, it's all about the balance. You want to balance the colors and weight of objects. For this one, I kept the color palette fresh + clean since the shelf resides in an all-white kitchen. I wanted to carry that white-on-white look throughout. I chose to balance the whites with metallic accents and added a few natural textures, like the raffia tray ... making sure the right and left side of the shelf got equal love with pretty white shapes.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The balance was off for me. Sometimes you don't know until you start to play with the arrangement. I didn't like the groupings right on top of one another and needed to balance the shapes and colors a bit. Just a few tweaks + edits ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. <b>Keep the mix simple.</b> I love a layered shelf with a mix of bohemian, eclectic elements, full of color + texture... but sometimes with shelf-styling, less is more. Streamlining the color scheme to a blend of two or three colors keeps the look fresh and gives the eye places to focus and places to rest.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. <b>Add something organic.</b> In this scenario I mixed in fresh potted herbs since these shelves are in the kitchen. Plants like succulents are perfect for shelves because you don't have to water as frequently. You can also opt for adding organic shapes like driftwood or coral...or cut a fresh branch or two from outside and place them in a vase or jar (like I did for the kitchen island).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Way back when, it was just about keeping up with the cool kids you knew... fast forward to now, and we are literally linked to the coolest of the cools across the planet on the daily.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's so easy to get caught up in the comparison game, but the reality is, it's our uniqueness (the way we don't fit the norm) that is ultimately cool.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This weekend we had an early dose of spring here in the Carolinas. 70+ degrees in February is such a treat. We tried to savor every moment before the sun went down. I love when neighborhoods come to life with signs of spring in the air. Warm weather is good for the soul.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Recently I decided to take some time each week to do something that makes my creative soul happy, even if it's simply buying some pretty flowers at the grocery store, like these lavender lovelies...</span><br />

After seeing the film, I am happily twirling my way onto the bandwagon.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before re-locating to the Midwest, I worked as a Set Decorator, both in New York and LA. Seeing <i>La La Land </i>reminded me of what I love most about the film industry: the magic of each person, cast + crew, doing their part to create the bigger picture. There's something intoxicating about the movies, isn’t there? And, there is something about those dreamers, those artistic souls who are drawn to the creative chaos.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I remember working on the Universal Studios lot, soon after moving to Los Angeles. I was riding in one of those golf carts, running set errands and I had to call my Mom. I was “Living The Dream,” as we called it behind the scenes (“LTD” for short). Of course, we mostly used the term jokingly, while doing something glamorous, like mopping the stage floor.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The other aspect I enjoyed about film decorating was “breaking down the script,” set by set. This is when I’d read through the script with a fine-tooth-comb, in order to get to know the characters and to start dreaming about the world(s) we would create for each character.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a decorator, I was thoroughly inspired by all of the visual eye candy of <i>La La Land.</i> Here are a couple of cues from the big screen to ignite a little Hollywood magic into your world:</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You know what they say, “It’s all about the lighting.” Cinematographers call the best time to shoot “magic hour.” It's the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset, when the sky has softer hues than when the sun is shining high in the sky. This film found its' color palette in twilight skies. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've been busy working on some collaborations and can't wait to share one I'm working on with my twin sister <a href="http://pamstasneystyle.com/">Pam Stasney</a>. We have been scheming for years about how we can meld our worlds and work on some projects together...so we decided to seize the day and just make it happen. I'm completely obsessing about a post she's pulling together and am crazy eager to reveal all the inspiration + ideas to you (soon, I promise).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Until then, I wanted to just give you a few thoughts and let you know what's been inspiring me lately. Honestly I feel like I need to make more time to invest in experiences that lead to inspiration. I need to take myself on an "artist date" and reflect, explore, and soak in all the creativity that surrounds. I wrote a post awhile back about our <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2013/01/discovering-your-cinema-self.html">"cinema selves."</a> ... and right now I'm feeling the need to tap into that, to become that vision of myself.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm dreaming of it. And as the saying goes, If we can dream it, we can become it. Right?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And let me tell you, putting dreams into action is lots of hard work. Ultimately one of my goals for this year is to work smarter. I haven't quite figured it out yet. So if you have any tips, feel free to chime in. I am wide open.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are a few pretty pictures that have me feeling motivated to create, simplify, organize + believe in the power of dreams...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's so funny, at first the flood of holiday posts seemed premature... but now I'm feeling behind...and like I better catch up before I miss it. Oh the peer pressure of social media and all us design-y bloggers. Don't get me wrong, I love the holiday inspiration + festive entertaining ideas...but seriously, it can be a little overwhelming. Am I the only one? We are surrounded by "Marthas" these days. It's a good thing. :) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So much creativity + so many ideas! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But here's the real deal...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You need to be you. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And I need to be me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We need to find our own design voice. I just read an interview with Meg Ryan in <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/meg-ryan-new-york-city-loft">Architectural Digest</a>, and loved her comment, "...with decorating I am in control; it's a chance for me to bring my vision into the world." Love her! ...and love that thought.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My holiday decorating is not over-the-top ornate, and I'm okay with that. In fact, I kinda dig that it's not. Just call me a rule breaker. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fresh + simple is my design language, for the holidays + for always. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes, I have managed to actually adorn that naked tree, but I loved capturing the beauty of its utter simplicity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would call my style a mix of Scandi minimalism + boho vibes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I also wanted to share a few hints for a fresh take on holiday design:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1. <span style="color: #c27ba0;">Keep the color palette simple.</span> Of course, I have to stray from tradition (surprise, surprise). My colors this year: white + pink, with hints of aqua + mint.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2. <span style="color: #c27ba0;">Bring in elements of nature.</span> Fresh pine is a timeless cue that the holidays are upon us. I also love using pinecones + branches to add organic shapes + textures.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3. <span style="color: #c27ba0;">Don't be afraid to keep some decorations in the box.</span> The past several years, I've freed myself of the obligation of putting it all out and it's liberating. Don't be afraid to re-invent some items with a fresh coat of paint (Oh the colors my pinecones have been!).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm always + forever a lover of collecting fall leaves to appreciate their beautiful shapes + colors just a little longer. And I love adding layers to my interior like my favorite white hide rug + lots of luxe throws.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Mood boards + virtual designs are great tools to formulate the essence of the look + vibe you want to create. These visual collages help define + direct the essential pieces needed to make the design you're dreaming of come to life.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's been awhile since I posted, so I wanted to fill you in on some of my newest projects + experiences. Earlier this year, I was crazy busy DIY'ing with <a href="http://smartstufffurniture.com/home/socialstation/">SMARTSTUFF</a> ... creating + crafting fun ideas for kids rooms <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU_vX3tz4U8">{my first-ever DIY how-to videos are up on youtube</a>}. Here's a quick snap of my favorite DIY creation, juju hats made with texture-rich feathers. My go-to source for all that feathers is <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6220&awinaffid=333001&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fshop%2FKIMONOSFeathers%3Fsearch_query%3Dsaddle">Kimonos Feathers</a>. This <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6220&awinaffid=333001&clickref=&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fshop%2FKIMONOSFeathers%3Fsearch_query%3Dsaddle">etsy shop</a> came through for me once again with beautiful sewn-together feathers that made this DIY quite a breeze. Don't you just love these blush + white feathers?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For me, spring always means fresh approaches to interior spaces. Like adding fresh-flowering </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">branches or potted plants to your space. Organic elements add instant freshness, as well as interesting shape and texture. Lately I've loved picking up potted herbs at <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/">Trader Joe's</a> to add organic touches to my kitchen. Plus, I love having fresh basil whenever I'm craving Italian (check-out this <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/544724517402877267/">recipe</a> I found for mini <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/544724517402877267/">caprese skewers</a>). I am also crazy about the look + feel of adding succulents to interiors. Love, love, love their <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/06/mint-crush.html">mint + aqua</a> coloring and their beautiful shapes + textures. In fact, succulents were my inspiration for a recent <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2015/04/mood-boards.html">mood board</a> I did for a client...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Before the holidays set in, I had a fun photo shoot opportunity. One of my favorite images I styled is this girl's room in ballet blush for Stone & Leigh, a new youth furniture collection by <a href="http://www.stanleyfurniture.com/">Stanley</a> that just debuted at <a href="http://www.highpointmarket.org/">High Point Market</a>...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I always love styling with balloons, but absolutely fell in love with these over-sized blush balloons. We found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/263200864/giant-36-balloon-latex-round-balloons?ref=shop_home_active_9">these beauties on Etsy</a>, one of my go-to sources for photo shoot finds. I mixed-in varying shades of blush + pink to layer the look...and added authentic dance elements, like the pointe shoes on the ballet barre + pink tutu. There's something classic about a ballet-inspired little girl's room, but we gave it a fresh take. Don't you think?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And since every new year calls for a new planner ...

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, let the planning + dreaming + vision-board-making begin!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">January always brings a fresh start. I've been diving into a major organization mode (see <a href="http://blog.smartstufffurniture.com/">my post here</a> for some creative organization ideas). It's amazing how clearing + simplifying spaces frees a bit of stress ... and brings new focus.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">What are you resolving for the new year?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's to making strides toward our goals + dreams in 2016!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've always loved hand-crafted Christmas decorations. Truly, crafting at Christmas was part of my childhood experience. <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/10/sister-style.html">My sister and I were all about decorating</a>. Little did we know, we would both end up designing for a living. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With holiday festivities in full swing, I wanted to share a short + sweet post of a simple snow-inspired DIY project. I have always loved </span> handmade snowglobes. I found some ornaments that were perfect for making a snowglobe wonderland (The little pink house + some bottle-brush trees found at <a href="http://www.target.com/">Target</a> were the starting point). I spray-painted some trees + ornaments white just because <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/11/simple-beauty.html">I love white at Christmas time</a> (well, let's be honest...I love <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/12/winter-white-love.html">white</a> <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/07/white-hot-summer.html">any time of year</a>). If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/besostyle/">instagram</a>, you may have already seen some of the results of an afternoon of crafting...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;">I used glass pastry stands I already had (one of the perks of being a photo stylist)...and also used some mason jars + vases + glass candle dishes (it's amazing all the resources you can find in your own home). I then added some faux snow + iridescent glitter. I shook the snow + glitter around the glass containers to make sure some of the magical shimmer stuck to the insides of the glass bell jars.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I recently strolled through the<a href="http://thewhitebuffalostylingco.com/blogger-stylin-home-tours-christmas-2015/"> Blogger Stylin' Home Tour Christmas 2015</a> (If you haven't yet, head on over to <a href="http://thewhitebuffalostylingco.com/">the White Buffalo Styling Co</a>
to begin the tour for lots of <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Christmas decorating </span>inspiration)! It's always somehow
reassuring that there are others out there equally obsessed with
styling down to the details. I love seeing the wide variety of styles.
I always walk away with a new idea or a new take on an old idea...and
new motivation to decorate (as if I needed more).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, I
thought I'd share a look at my holiday home as well. I worked
with what I had + added just a little new. I always love designing with
lots of <a href="http://www.besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/12/winter-white-love.html">white in the winter</a> ...and
this year I added touches of pink + rose gold, a new fav color combo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As
of late I have <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">spent more time</span> on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/besostyle/">instagram</a> than on this blog. I blame it
on Life. You know, the <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">real</span> stuff, like parenting<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">, working</span> + doing my best to balance all my roles. Scrolling through
pretty images is <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">like </span>therapy. Life is messy
sometimes. And somehow in the midst of the chaos, taking a photo of a
perfect little vignette makes me happy. It sounds crazy, but I<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">'m<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> thinking </span>there<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> just <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">m<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ight</span></span> be <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">someone </span></span>who</span></span> can relate. Are you with me?<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, in hopes of sharing maybe just a <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">bit of</span> inspiration of my own, here is my holiday home tour 2015...</span></span><br />

I'm always + forever drawn to <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/12/winter-white-love.html">white-on-white</a>, with hints of <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2012/08/going-coastal.html">seaglass</a> tones (call it my love for the ocean) or <a href="http://besostyle.blogspot.com/2013/09/coral-crush-etsy-love.html">blush</a> (what girl doesn't love a little pink from time to time)...but lately I'm crushing on that beautiful plum-kissed shade of burgundy. We design-y types always like to come up with new names for nuances of color, but for now, I'll just call this a crush on tones of berry (think rich, deep mulberry). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My quest for all things berry led me to creating this design concept (featuring furnishings + accessories from <a href="http://www.ethanallen.com/">Ethan Allen</a>). I started with a neutral backdrop... a great gray, clean-line sofa, and then added layers of ivory textures...mixed in some metallics + finally some berry patterns + velvet.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And there's nothing like a party to kick-start a diy project you've been putting off. I had wanted to re-invent my very beat-up Ikea lack coffee table and finally made the time for a quick update. The table was the perfect size + scale for my living room, but was frankly a hot mess (think peeling veneer). With the help of a little burlap fabric + nailheads (and a little measuring + pressing)...the table is transformed. You've gotta love a renovation that only costs $16 at the fabric store + a little bit of time and effort.</span></span><br />
