I need your input...

Today's post is random….. but, when am I not random? :) Ok, so I have some ideas brewing and want your creativity! 


Meet my cute paper maché chevron side table. black. classic. but I want to switch it up……. do I spray it white? gold/copper leaf every other zig zag? Do I black and white stripe it? Do I mod podge in fabric scraps every other? Help! 


real life…. trying to snap a pix of the this table and the little lady starts setting up shop on the table. Hilarious. typical 2nd born babe.


So I snapped a few pix of this beauty.
My little ham.



As Zion is being a busy bee and playingwith her magnet dolls. Note: Summer jams and Strawberry Shortcake bandaid for 1 cm of a scratch on forehead. Day 3 of bandaid. Still hurts…… ha.



Back to my randomness….. I can not stand my mudroom……. I really want hooks for all of our bags/jackets etc. that is all… carry on….


More Christy thoughts…….. meet our dining room. See pix here and here. I have sold our mirror console table and slid the table in front of the window to open up the space. Thoughts? Ideas? I want to more a light and drop it over the table. Why move the table? I want a piano in this room on the opposite wall and to have this room used more. I hate that it sits majority or our days with no action. Do you have any ideas for me? wall ideas? etc…….. please share……..



Am I crazy? maybe……….



Meet new cheap rug from TJ Maxx. Thanks to me dumping 1/2 of a quart of "walnut" stain and ruining my favortie scarf and rug……. It was crazy- me screaming and the hus and I scrambling to clean it up before it ruined our gorgeous floors….. I like it! Thoughts?



That is all..
Carry on with your glorious Thursday.
Please share a comment below and help this sister out. 
Thanks in advance.

Loves.

LOCK LOVE WEDNESDAY!

I have been slacking on the LLW posts! Sorry, life is always crazy and I struggle getting on the computer to post my hair pix after my long work days! But, here I am……. playing lots of catch up. I started Lock Love Wednesday to keep myself inspired and on top of the trends/fashion/and daily grind of hair. I am showing you lots of pix today of before + afters and some favorite products! Join me and link up with me on Instagram by using #locklovewednesday or #locklovewed to show off your hair!


Moroccan Oil is an all time FAV for many reasons!!!! It is the miracle oil for hair. 
weightless.
adds tons of shine.
protects your hair from UV rays and heat.
reduces frizz.
smells amaze. 
etc. 
Right now, I have box sets of the .85 oz + 3.4 oz (with pump) for $50! Normally it costs $60! The smaller bottle is perfect for traveling and wknd getaways. Stock up now! You can always spilt the set and give a bottle as a stocking stuffer ;) I have the Moroccan Oil Light as well.


I have been using the Kenra Platinum Dry Texturing Spray for 2 months and I AM IN LOVE. My word, this stuff is good. It is great on clean hair to dirty it up and give your hair some grit and wonderful on old hair to freshen up your do (aroma and styling wise). I spray it in my hair when I rock ponies or when I curl my hair to rough it up a bit. Praise be.


I started running a weekly special of showcasing a fav. color of the week at Tala at 10% off. Ths color is gorgeous and on my nails right now! Vinylux lasts 7 days and it has less chemicals than most polishes out there!


I have been using essential oils for 5 + years now and I love them. I continue to find new ways to incooperate them into my daily life and am amazed at all the benefits. I love the DoTerra company and am going to start carrying a couple favs at a time in the studio. Let me know if you ever want to order or need anything…… They really are that awesome. I love the diffuser below and use it in my home all the time! All you need is distilled water and I put in 8-10 drops of oil….. let it do its thing.


Alright, here are some Before + Afters for you! 
Mr. Jack has awesome hair to work with!

Z Girls Bathroom REVEAL


I am so in love with this adorable bathroom for my daughters! It is amazing how a little paint and DIY goes a long way! What I don't like is, photographing a small space……IMPOSSIBLE! I did my best to show you the details of their cute little bathroom! I shared with you recently, my inspiration board for their space here! I wanted this bathroom to not be to themey and hoping it can grow with them over the next 10 years or so…. here it is!


Like I have mentioned previously, our entire home was beige when we moved in. FLAT gross BEIGE….so I am on a roll to get rid of it! I chose to paint their room with my favorite color ever- MINT! The color is sherwin williams / Frostwork! The same color i have in the room next to the bathroom (the art space). You can see it here! I am a big fan of using the same paint color in at least two rooms in your home to allow a flow to happen. 


The color palette is the mint green // pale pink // white // grey.


We got the ruffle shower curtain at Bed Bath & Beyond online. It is extra tall and my Hus installed a rounded shower rod. I like the look and giving the girls more space when showering. Before we had a traditional tension rod, and it has fallen more than once and I don't want that to be an issue with my 4 year old now showering on a regular basis. I love how girly the shower curtain is and vintage looking! 


I LOVE LOVE LOVE the art above the toilet. I got it on this fabulous site! It is Psalm 45:11, and says, "The King is wild for you, honor him for he is Lord!" It is a 8x10 and is in a 16x20 Target frame (the re-mix brand…aka cheap) I got the heart decals at Target too! How fun and kid friendly are these? $10!!! Yes, please! My girls love hearts too! So it is a win/win!

  
Details of the shower curtain……


Now lets talk about this amazing mason jar organizer! How presh is this beauty? We used the same the wood from our barnwood wall in the living room! I pickled the wood with a white stain and used one coat of poly to seal the deal. I bought 4 hose clamps at Lowes for a little over a buck each and used mason jars that we had in the kitchen……no big deal ;) The hus screwed in the clamps for me, and then you just get a screw driver and tighten the jars on the clamps. A lot of the tutorials I saw on pinterest used picture hangers on the back, but we didn't want this falling on the girls, so we nailed it into studs on the wall directly. I can not stand tooth brushes everywhere on the sink, so I am hoping that this adorable organizer is the solution for the cass fam. I caught my 2 year old bringing her stool to the wall and putting her toothbrush away this morning already! She won my heart! 




 

This shows you the difference when the lights are on vs off.


 I got the pink moroccan towels at Target. The hamper is Target (5 years old). The plant was a gift from my friend Liz! I made the hair pretty organizer here and it just a white frame and twine!





obsessed with this perfect rug! 
plush and divine.






Here are the knobs when the towels are not hanging from them. We used to have a traditional towel rod, but again, I want to set up my girls for success and allow them to hang their own towel, not their mom. I love this look more anyways! I got them a year ago at TJ Maxx for $4 each!





 anchor hook by shower for towels and robes ( hung it up a couple of years ago)


This is my normal view, the 2 year old brushing her teeth 6 x a day! 


What do you think? Isn't it adorbs?! 
Happy Monday y'all!
