Making It Pretty

My 17-year-old self would not believe that I've become so interested in making things look pretty. That angsty kid would be rolling her eyes at my latest "ooh, so shiny and pretty" tastes. That's the good thing about life-- you're allowed to change.

In the last few years, I've found myself reading more home/lifestyle blogs and becoming more interested in pillows and paint colors and fabrics and shiny knick knacks, particularly if they're from Nate Berkus' line at Target. 

Now don't think that because I enjoy these books and "make it pretty" blogs that my house looks anything like this. Far from it! I've got two kids and two cats creating messes everywhere I look. But a girl can dream, and enjoy a few little corners or items that evoke this aesthetic.
