Mini-Bedroom Makeover with Designstiles

Happy Monday lovelies!  Today Irene of designstiles is sharing a few pieces to spruce up your bedroom for spring.  You're in good hands, because this lady is talented.  She was recently featured in Apartment Therapy for her delicious home office.  I'm lucky enough to know her in real life and she is just as hilarious as she is stylish!

Hey Peak of Très Chicers, it's Irene from designstiles. It's a pleasure to be filling is for Sam while she's away in, um, Australia!  For those of us in the US of A, it's the most wonderful time of the year, if you love spring. Spring is definitely my favorite season and I think it's the perfect opportunity to freshen up with new decor. Just a few simple items that can transform your space into a happy, colorful home.

Today I have what I call, the mini-bedroom makeover. From light, cotton sheets to cool and fun art:

shop this look: scalloped sheet set // orangerie rose pillow // bali stripe pillow // ikat blue rug //

woven wall mirror // artwork // ceramic snail // lamp

Thanks for having me Sam. Enjoy your trip. Don't forget to try some kangaroo. Ha!

Will Work for Pillows

With finals looming over my head, I haven't gotten to peruse my blogroll as much as I would like.  Now I know at first thought this might seem like a luxury task- to get to lazily visit my favorite blogs.  But not so!  To me, it's somewhat of a creative necessity.  Seeing what all you talented designers and fashion lovers have showcased inspires and reenergizes me.  As I was getting my daily dose of blogosphere late in the evening yesterday, I discovered that one of my favorite bloggers, Albertina of Mimosa Lane, launched a pretty little Etsy Shop.  Her shop includes adorable clutches and pillows, just in time for gift giving.  It got me thinking how many of my favorite online decor shops were started by bloggers- diverse individuals that seem to have one thing in common- an innate sense of style.  Lately, I have been on a decorative pillow kick, and not surprisingly, most of the pillows I lust for are from bloggers' shops!

1.) Chevron Fuscia Pink Pillow $45 2.) Leopard Velvet $62/3.) Chiang Mai Aquamarine  $102/4.) Ikat Pom Pom Pillow $85/   5.) Hexagon Purple and Gold $67/6.) Green Leaf Pillow Cover $38/7.) Leopard Lumbar $165

That first chevron print is from Mimosa Lane's new shop.  I know I said I was so tired of chevron prints, but.... I just can't quit them!!

If you see me by the side of the road with a sign that says, "Will Work for Pillows" do me a favor and toss me a dime.  It's for a good cause. ;)
