My Closet: Zara Finds

 

Falling in love with fashion again.  Loving this top I picked up from Zara.

On another note, it feels good to be back blogging and engaging in more positive creative outlets on the internet.  Let’s see where 2023 takes us.

Ninety percent of my closet consists of J. Crew, so it shouldn't come as any surprise that I am a Jenna Lyons fangirl.  Her style is amazing not to mention attainable.  Who doesn't have the pieces in their closet to recreate this look.  

Interior Decor {My Home}: Office Nook

I have suddenly developed a passion for interior decorating.  I have been focusing much of this year on several home improvement projects that were sorely needed.  I have lived in my home for about 6 years and it was time to do some painting, upgrade some utilities and just commit to an overall 'lived in' look for my home.

I decided to tackle the two smallest rooms in my home on my own, so I painted them and did some low budget decorating.  I would first like to say that Ikea and The Container Store are great shopping solutions for interior decor for small spaces.  I got my desk and file cabinet from Ikea and the lucite desk accessories from the Container store.  The lucite chair that you see is from Wayfair.com.  I use Wayfair to add smaller more interesting pieces in my spaces.  I like to think of them as 'conversation pieces'.  They have awesome sales and the shipping is usually fast and cheap.  

The biggest advice I have for decorating smaller spaces is not to use a lot of wood furniture.  I am a big fan of wooden furniture and interesting  carpentry but these can be bulky and clutter a space if not incorporated properly.  I decided to stick with an all white palette and throw some lucite accessories mainly to give the smaller space a more open feel.  

You can't really see from these photos but this room is also where I kennel my two dogs, so I was relegated to one wall to make this office space happen.  I maximized space with floating shelves and buying furniture that had plenty of drawer space as well.
