guest post - perfectly plum




Hey Y'all! I'm Dana from Southern Inspired! I'm so happy to be guest posting today while my sweet sister is out of town. One thing you may not know about Drew - she adores the color purple. I know she has some purple inspiration up her sleeve that she will be showing you soon, but I wanted to share what's got me {plum} happy lately!

Love those pops of purple


Look at that purple chair!


And those dining table chairs...I'm swooning
Dream closet 

Shades of lavender


And since Drew does such amazing Inspiration Palettes, I thought I would try creating one of my own. 





Thanks so much for having me today, Drew! 




5 Things I Can't Live Without! (Tagged!)




Oooook....so maybe it's 6...I'll tell you first and foremost, I can't always live with rules!  I tend to think outside the box, which is why my list got a little out of hand.  My sister, Dana, from Southern Inspired, tagged me to come up with 5 things I can't live without. I new for sure we would have the exact same "things" we couldn't live without.  Like she said, above all,  faith, family and friends are MUSTS! We're just identical like that. But, I tried to think of other "things," just to be different. ;) Another thing I can't live without is being different. Yet it's hard to be different when my sister and I have similar goals and interests. And I can't live without her! Awwww.....






1. I can't live without my morning coconut cream coffee!!! It's so delicious! I wake up to the smell of coffee and it boosts my spirits for the rest of the day! Coconut cream is the key! (try Target!)

2. The Bible, of course! This is the most important thing I absolutely can't live without! My whole life is centered around The Book. It's the foundation for my everyday life. This also includes Sunday services, get- togethers with brothers and sisters in Christ, and bible studies. When life gets you down, which we're told it will, center your thoughts towards the B-I-B-L-E! 

3. Daily phone calls with my sister! There's no way I can go for long periods of time without chats with the sissy! We talk everyday, being that she lives in Atlanta. Mostly about life, our blogs, starting our own company one day and of course talking in our obnoxious cute silly "voices" to each other! ;)

4. I am a move-aholic!! I can't live in one place for too long without packing up a u-haul and heading towards the next dream city! Which reminds me, I surely can't live without my GPS to get me everywhere in my new cities. To give you a preview of my destinations in the last 2 years--

Charlotte, NC
 Pittsburgh PA
 Belmont, NC
 Pensacola, FL
 Belmont, NC
Boca Raton, FL
 West Palm Beach, FL

 and now back to my hometown in Belmont, NC! Insane, I know!! My sis has been on a similar journey...That's why we're called the little gypsy sisters! Wouldn't trade it for a thing! I'm young and have the ability to travel and move all around the world!

5. I have an insane collection of eclectic heels and shoes! I believe it runs in my genes. My grandmother owned dozens and dozens of beautiful shoes and I'm proud to say I got the itch to purchase my own  since I was around 16 years old. I love them so much that I even have a unique display in my own bedroom! From shoes, of course, I love to shop in general. (or at least go window shopping.) But make no mistake, I only go for the sales and splurge very rarely!

6. Last, but definitely not least, my passion; my work. Art and Design! I love any form! But I enjoy graphic design, painting, decorating and fashion design. My friends will tell you I've always had a love for collages. I would be the one in the group to make the visuals for a project in class. Of course, I've gone on to study, make, and design my own art as I've grown older. Simply, I live, breath and dream it!

Sidenote:  other things I can't live without-


{pistachio pudding}
{copper}
{the color coral}
{lyrics}
{music}
{babies}
{the movie theater}
{my elliptical machine}
{Felicity reruns}
{my blog}
{dessert}
{my dog, Chloë}


Well now that you have a small insight into the things I can't live without, let me go ahead and tag Chassity from Look, Linger, Love to give us her 5 things she can't live without! (You may cheat like I did Chassity..if I can break the rules a bit, so can you ;)


Happy FRIDAY!!!

Setting the mood for your house




 Today's post is inspired by entryways, the first glance into your home. You wouldn't think that an entryway would be that important. However, it sets the mood for the rest of your house. Try to incorporate small features from other parts of your house into the entryway space. Whether it be colors, a theme or pictures, let it involve the style or scheme of your house as a whole. It will present your home in a way that is inviting, artful and overall balanced. Here are some examples:


































You can even do center pieces if you have a long space to work with.











What is your idea of an entryway?

I'm working on a friends entryway, which is what inspired me to think of different styles. This inspiration palette is what I designed to help me plan things out for the Price family:






Around this time of year...






It's about that time to step in clear, ocean waters and bask in the radiant sun. I don't know about you, but teal usually comes to mind for me in this seasons delight. You can pop this color on your outfit and make the most tropical statement. Pair it with coral, and boy I'll meet you in West Palm!

The Kennedys - Trailer (8-Part Movie Event)













































 


Getting ready for the April 3rd release of The Kennedy's 8-Part Movie Event! I love watching movies that are based on true stories and events. I get so involved and actually feel myself becoming part of the movie itself. I did this with Pearl Harbor, Titanic, Bobby, 9/11, Saving Private Ryan..and many other war and terror movies. No, it's not always easy to watch some of these movies but it's a part of our history and brings you more in touch with the reality of trials, war, terror and loss. And with that, whether you truly believe it or not, brings forth passion, peace, strength and the ability to put more power into prayer. Not sure if movies do that for you, but they sure move me that way.

Check out the trailer below! (Not going to lie-I'm excited to see Katie Holmes in this impersonating Mrs. Kennedy herself, and her famous stylish wardrobe!)
