Snapshots of my week via my instagram.
Design Plan: Black, White, and Gold Guest Bath
My Mom and Dad are ready to start the second phase of their house renovations, including the bedrooms and bathrooms. The first room on the agenda is the guest bath. My Mom is looking for something dramatic, and fortunately she and I have very similar taste!
Here are the inspiration shots:

We are going for a black, white, and gold scheme. We love the gold fixtures and the double curtain in the Ace Hotel room, the black tile border in the David Cafiero room, and the dark vanity with the gold sconces and mirror in the Barrie Benson room. We haven’t decided on a wall colour yet… maybe white? maybe light gray?
We already have the sconces, and they are so fabulous!!! Can’t wait to see this room come together! I wish it was going in my own home!
Here’s the design board:

The Insta-File (Snapshots of my week)
I started using Instagram when I got my iPhone this spring, and I’m totally hooked. I’ve been having fun documenting simple moments every day. It’s so much easier to snap a quick phone pic… I find that I’m capturing things that I used to miss when I had to run and find my point/shoot. Here are some shots from our time at the lake last week:
*** I used PicMonkey to make the collages and add the words to the photos. It was so easy to use… I’d recommend giving it I try if you are looking for a simple photo editor***

My new/old luggage
I found this great luggage set at my neighbor's garage sale. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. I think it's probably from the '70's because my parents used to have suitcases like this when I was a kid. I always thought that they were so stylish! Don't even get me started on the makeup case with the built in organizers! Jackie (my auntie) would bring hers home from university, and my sister and I would watch her whole makeup routine with complete fascination.
Anyways, I think Jeff was a little annoyed when I brought home five old suitcases... But even he agreed that they were kind of perfect for packing up for the lake this week!

Alt Summit Online
There is always talk around the blogosphere about amazing blogger conferences. They seem like such a great way to make real-life connections with online friends, and are also a chance to learn from blogging experts.
I haven’t had the chance (yet!) to attend a conference, but guess what? Alt Summit is offering courses online! And in July, thanks to Bing, you can take up to 4 Alt Summit Online Classes for free! Go here to find out how!
There are a bunch of classes to choose from…
I have my eye on “The Organized Blogger” with Victoria Hudgins… I need to go on a major organizing spree around here, but don’t know where to start. This course ends with a 10-day blog organization challenge! Perfect!
I’m also excited about “Growing Readership” with Nicole Balch. I heard great things about her talk at Blogpodium, so I’m thinking the online course will be awesome too.
So… anyone want to join me for an online class???
My Kilim is Here!!!
My kilim arrived on Friday! I LOVE it!!! I ordered it from an ebay seller in Turkey, and I have to admit I was a little bit nervous that it wouldn’t be what I expected when it arrived… but it is perfect! According to the listing it is 80 years old, made of natural wool, and vegetable dyed. The colors are so gorgeous! Just what I wanted. It arrived in less than 2 weeks, which also surprised me. Here’s a close-up:
