The Better Living Room Colors I Adore

Just by looking at the title of this post can you tell who has been looking through home decor websites and catalogues again?

It's so interesting to see the way my style is progressing. A few months back I would have chosen the pink and blue living room as my favorite, but as of late I have been leaning towards styles that don't scream girly-girl. Hands down the gold and black is what makes me swoon the most. It's super edgy. How many living rooms with this color scheme have you seen? The floors, the black moulding, and the black built-ins have me sold on!!!

The Better Martha Goes Kitchen Krazy: Part I (Realistic Sized Kitchens)

My mom and I are two oddballs that fit together when it comes to interior decor. When we are shopping I'll see a nice bench I'll say something like "This would be great for my dining room," and my mom will think for a second and go, "I like it, but will it fit in such a small space?" It seems like a perfectly normal conversation except for the fact that I don't have a house so obviously I don't have a dining room to be decorating. I don't know when this game of designing my future home started, but we are both on on the borderline of dementia. As long as neither of us buys furniture for the house I don't have, we are in a mentally stable state (I think).

After watching episode after episode of Kitchen Cousins on HGTV, I am now obsessed with kitchen renovations and naturally this means I had to start planning my future kitchen immediately.  Houzz.com is one of my favorite websites. I have to be very strict with myself about how much time I spend there or else I will look up from screen only to realize its 2 am.

Here are some of my favorites.
