Choosing one of the gorgeous Crystorama chandeliers seems like it would be the easiest part of the design… until it actually comes down to making the decision! Lighting is one of the most important pieces in the room. I like to think of it as the jewelry, it not only sets the tone but also makes a statement while providing a beautiful & functional way to light up your home. Thankfully, with your help on my Instagram poll & my amazing friends at Crystorama, we made the best decision ever! I love ALL things that sparkle, so your help was much appreciated during this entire process. I would probably still be debating without you guys!! If you weren’t a part of the poll, I’ll fill you in on the options we had so you can see just how hard this decision was!

The Options

Deciding to partner with Crystorama was the easy part, choosing one of their gorgeous chandeliers was definitely the hard part. They offer some of the most beautiful & unique chandeliers I have seen on the market, not to mention gorgeous designer-curated pieces from both Libby Langdon & Brian Patrick Flynn. The team at Crystorama was there every step of the way from sizing to waiting on pins and needles with me as you guys chose the final result! It was SUCH a fun process including you guys and putting the decision in your hands! After weeks of narrowing it down to 2 chandeliers we were ready to poll. Would it be The Hampton or The Mercer?

Option 1 The Hampton

Option 2 The Mercer

The Final Decision

In the end, it was neck and neck and you all ultimately ended up choosing the Mercer!!

As you can see… EVERYONE APPROVES and it is absolutely perfect!!

The Details

Dazzling with faceted cut crystal, the Mercer Collection sparkles from all angles. Especially if viewed from the bottom, the unique design forms a stunning metal floral design.

The opulent crystal paired with Olde Silver metal work allows this chandelier to bring luxurious appeal to a variety of spaces. This showstopper creates a captivating focal point of dripping crystal as though they are frozen icicles.

The Perfect Final Touch

Between your help & the gorgeous options Crystorama provided us with, I would do this over a million times! I couldn’t be happier with the final result and it feels like so much more than just a closet now. In the end, I came in on budget & with a look and feel that is like a luxury closet. Thank you all SO much and I can’t wait to do this again! I still have a foyer chandelier choose after all so I better get shopping!!

If you’ve been following my Instagram posts, then you know it’s no secret that I’m no stranger to painting. In fact it’s up there on one of my favorite things to do! I know what you’re thinking “What the heck is wrong with this girl”?! Maybe I’ve been around one too many paint fumes, however I know the struggle with picking the right “gray”. Hopefully I can save you a step or two along the way by sharing my paint colors in my home.

Actually once upon a time didn’t enjoy painting at all. It wasn’t until my sweet mother showed me the power of investing in a good brush and how to edge that really sparked my passion for painting (that and the fact that I change my wall colors more than my hair color) and now I no longer had to tape off a wall, or ceiling, or baseboard again… Dream come true!! Thanks Mom!! It’s also one of my favorite ways to update a space without breaking the budget, plus at the end of the day if your wall doesn’t turn out the way you’ve envisioned (been there a time or two), well its just paint !! So here are the answers to some of my most frequently asked paint color questions.

Alright, lets start with my upstairs accent wall Devine Mirage by Valspar Devine Color

This is hands down my favorite color accent wall in my home, and was surprisingly picked up on a whim of one of my “I’m only running to Target for milk and paper towels” trips. Guess who forgot the milk though.

Moving on to the main color of all the rest of the walls in my upstairs is Cotton Grey by Behr

Last, but not least, is my absolute favorite way to update your doors.. black paint! I used Limousine Leather by Behr

Black doors are my little secret to making my builder grade doors have a more custom feel.

Hopefully this helps you guys!! If you have any questions at all feel free to ask!! I’m more than happy to help on your painting adventures!!
