Five for Friday: Paint, shoutouts and Cheerios

This weekend will be devoted to switching up the paint in our bedroom. I'm so over the purple accent wall we did (what was I thinking?!) when we first moved into the townhouse last March. And even though the fiance isn't thrilled about painting again, the purple ickiness just gots to go. Are you working on any projects this weekend? 

In the meantime, here's what I'm loving (not purple paint) this week.

1. Rad blog homies

I can't even begin to accurately convey how much all of your kind words have meant this week during the launch of my design studio. I truly appreciate the support. It's amazing what you can do with a little encouragement and a big dream.

A special thanks to the fabulous and stylish Louise over at Table Tonic for the Twitter shoutout ... Head over to her shop for some global goodies; my super talented client Amber of Amber Interiors and my next client and Texas' finest Lindsey Lee.

2. Bri's incredible lamp revamp

Seriously check out Bri's blog. She is the most hilarious blogger out there, and her DIY skills are outta control! She's the ish for sure!

3. Caress Scarlet Blossom body wash

I bought this body wash last week, and it smells so yummy! The red lychee and patchouli oil scent lasts all day, but isn't overwhelming.

4. Collected

Have you seen Collected? The new kid on the block of online shelter mags is holding its own in the debut issue. The clean and minimalist layout is a graphic designer's dream. And Chad Peterson's bed is basically how I'm feeling about bedding right now. Hello, inspiration!

5. Cheerios

I have a crazy obsession with cereal. I could eat it for every meal, and lately I've been taking my breakfast old-school with Cheerios. I loved, loved, loved them as a child and for some reason they've found their way back into my bowl.
