Red + Yellow

Last night I did a little spring cleaning. I'm a bit like Monica from Friends in that I am quite OCD about my home being clean and de-clutterd. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. I truly don't mind it being me. And yes, I love to sing while cleaning such as Cinderella.

However, I do not like feeling like this now. I'll be 27 next month, I shouldn't feel 77?!


After finally sitting down to relax, I started watching HGTV and one of the designers was using a red+yellow color scheme for a living room. I wasn't sure how I felt about these two colors together. So, this morning I started browsing magazines and came to the conclusion that I am not keen on the basic primary colors yellow and red being paired together, such as the designer was doing last night(they tend to look too Ronald McDonald), rather variations of the colors together. UNLESS, they are the accessories. Make sense??

Well, here are a few shots I do like:

Using this color scheme, the yellow and red would make great accessories

I'm sure there are other fabulous red+yellow rooms out there, but I am short on time today. What is your take on this color scheme??

first or second?

Exciting news today! Daniel Bashta, a worship leader my husband plays with, is being featured on the 700Club, and for today and tomorrow will be interviewed and then filmed while playing. Although they aren't called The Daniel Bashta band, they might as well be. My husband has been playing with him for almost 4 years now and they have been to many events and cities leading others in worship, mostly at youth events. He is also the worship leader at Riverstone Church, GA. Daniel's vision, "My Worship in Motion" can be read about on his blog. So, today I get to leave work early and be a part of this very neat and exciting process.

On a different note, I'm trying to decide between these two skirts for Easter Sunday, and of course for other fabulous occasions.

This skirt is from J.Crew and a little more expensive

This skirt is from LuLus (I seem to love most things from here lately)

Any thoughts??

and the journey begins...

After a few months of stalking, err perusing, the blog world, I decided to dive on in and start one of my own. I have found myself falling in love with other lovely ladies' thoughts, adventures, design inspirations, fashion choices and so on. How amazing that I can feel so close to these "strangers" thanks to them opening up their lives to ME? Well, I hope to do the same here. Who knows what will appear day to day, but it will mostly be what inspires me the most in my very own fashion or design choices. I love fashion, design and photography, none of which am I involved with professionally, but love just the same.

A little about me: I am married to a wonderful christian man who plays electric guitar for our church and an amazing christian artist, Daniel Bashta. He has such a heart for worship and helping to lead those to worship. I just adore him. In 28 days I will have my Social Work degree and will be going to grad school in January for my Masters in Clinical Social Work. We have a quirky kitty named Tigger, who likes to sleep in the sink or bathtub. Being that my husband is a musician and I won't be making the "big bucks" in the social work field, I love the challenge of finding things as beautiful as the overpriced clothes/furniture/accessories I easily fall in love with. Which is why I'm a dreamer by day and shopaholic by night. It takes me most of the day to find things I can afford! 

Also, we've been extremely blessed with incredible families and friends, whom I will talk about quite often I am sure!

DISCLAIMER: I took a web design class in college, but I'm a little rusty at this. So, the posts will be more in depth and inspiring, I promise.

Enough about me, I have dreams to dream!
