Details, Details

When it comes to decorating, it is important to focus on the details. Even a room filled with expensive furniture can fall flat if it isn't given the right accessories. The details of a room are what give it personality. For example, a pair of vibrant green drapes can spice up a beige living room, while a punchy aquamarine lamp can add life to a monochromatic bedroom.

Some of my favorite accessories are those with unique stories behind them or ones that have been thrifted or used unexpectedly {such as a group of old horseshoes strung together to make a wreath}. Here are some of my favorite details found throughout blogland:

I love the yellow painted vanity and the little pops of turquoise. It is evident that each piece was chosen for both visual dynamics and sentimental value. Such a great addition to a neutral bedroom.

Rather than hanging your children's artwork up on the fridge where it can be damaged, purchase some inexpensive frames from stores like Michael's or Ikea. Then, display the artwork in a hallway where there is lots of foot traffic. It not only spruces up the wall but it also makes your child feel incredibly special to have their personal artwork framed for everyone to see.

This grey retro phone is so chic ~ any idea where I can buy one?

These inexpensive candle holders were painted white to add both drama and uniformity. I think they look incredibly romantic grouped together like this.

Combining vintage and modern elements adds interest and prevents monotony. The white, painted mirror is gorgeous, especially when paired with the modern lamp and candleholders.

This Pottery Barn replica is an excellent way to take an expensive item and turn it into something unique and thrifty. All that was used was a sharpie marker and a sentimental quote. I also love the little Eiffel Tower!
