Okay, so I know that technically it is already Spring – but I just want it to feel like Spring. Yes, I’m being needy – but who’s with me?! And March is not helping a girl out. March is being such a tease this year. One day: 40, the next day: 65, the next day: 32. What? Come on, March. So – while we’re going through these ups and downs, let’s just officially make…
Start here. Start at the beginning. If you’re wondering how to get that home decorating project going – Start with some inspiration!

You could add/change colors throughout the…

Elle Décor calls out one of Fall 2013’s most unexpected trends: cats. I had definitely noticed the “cat trend” in fashion. Interiors often follow fashion trends, so perhaps it’s not so surprising to see cats making their way into our home décor.
