Color Me Happy

Because I left Argentina when I was almost six years old I don't have many memories of my time there but I do have glimpses and one thing that always stands out is my grandma's colored window. She had a French window- which I've always loved- and the glass was stained red and blue. It lit the dining room up so beautifully and it's something I've only ever seen at her house. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the actual window since last time I was there was pre-Instagram but it got me thinking of different ways I'd like to brighten up my future home. Here are some ideas:

It's All in the Details

Last week was crazy busy with work and it being the week of my mom's birthday I had requested Ellen tickets which we were lucky enough to get. Not only did we get to see Ellen but we got in for the taping of Michelle Obama's episode! But that's for another post, this post is about home decor.

I've been thinking about what I would change if I had a bigger space. Here are my top five accents:
