My Crafty Pumpkin

Pumpkins have become more stylish than ever this fall. Design your pumpkin with some of your personal flavor. All you need is some spray paint, stick on letters, candles, mini drill, sharpie, and some old fabric or whatever you may desire to make your own crafty pumpkin.

Atlanta's own Michael Smith Boyd!!!

Atlanta has become a second home to me. I am always impressed with its design influences and inspirations. I'm a Maryland native but I have big LUV for ATL.
I was introduced to Michael Boyd's designs from my mentor Kimberly Ward's, "Pink Egg Shell" blog. Needless to say his designs are phenomenal. His luscious layers of luxurious designs make you want to more. You might have caught some of his designs while watching "Housewives of Atlanta". He designed the ever so stylish Marlo Hampton's home. Take a look. The pictures speak for them self.

Color Me Black

Decorating your home with black walls or ceilings is a growing trend that I think is right on point. Black can actually make a space appear bigger. If your frightened of the idea you can always add in some molding and patterns to brighten it up a bit. Check out some of these grand designs and make your own judgement call.
