I'm a little bit behind on my project every week goal with Project Restyle, I'll have hopefully three more projects done this week! Here is a simple one I made the other day for my best friend who just got engaged. Inside this egg carton are adorable mini-cupcakes! Yum! Very simple project to make.

Hotel Chic
I can't lie, I love hotels! I am a total hotel snob thanks to my husband (who would always find the nicest hotel to stay at). I notice I try to emulate a lot of their clean crisp style in my own home... with a touch of our personality of course. Below are a handful of some of our favorite hotels, and my favorite styles from east to west, north to south these hotels are definitely places we will return!
The Lofts in Columbus, Ohio http://www.55lofts.com/
I still adore this bathroom! The room we stayed in differed... but I believe every room there had a similar decor style but different and were all charming. I remember the brick walls, the bedding, the bathroom! Lovely and lofty. I highly recommend staying there while in Columbus Ohio.
Hyatt Place in Atlanta Georgia
I remember being blown away by how nice everything looked in this hotel! In fact, if my home looked like this place I probably wouldn't be too unhappy about it! I'd make a few changes here or there but over-all this was a gorgeous hotel. I love the full mirrors over the sink, the headboard style (with the attached night stands). The screen separating the room. Beautiful.
Springhill Suites in Cincinnati Ohio
Okay, I wasn't expecting much from a place called "Springhill Suites". Sounded like a run of the mill mid-price hotel. I was definitely surprised to see it had such a fun, tropical cool feel to it. The room was cute, separated with a half wall. I loved the bedding. There was a vertical strip of material (finished) going down the middle. What a clever idea for bedding. An inexpensive way to change the look of your room without doing much else. And look at their lobby! The sheer aqua curtains flowing down, gorgeous!
Okay, I just fell in love with the headboard and nightstand combo at this hotel! Maybe not the red so much but if I did a DIY of this... endless possibilities! I'm pretty sure this was a 5 star hotel. The bathroom was gorgeous, too, however I can't find a photo that does it justice.
And lastly...
Embassy Suites Portland, Maine
This was one of the hotels we stayed at during our honeymoon. We loved it! The bed was amazingly comfortable, the amenities were abundant, the couch in the second room was super cute, nice big tv. Very relaxing... not to mention the happy hour free drinks and appetizers!
So many pillows!

Wednesday Ombre Finds: Shower Curtains
I have been swooning over these curtains for quiet a while now... not sure if I'll ever be able to justify the $118 dollar price tag but they are just so much fun and totally unique look for the bathroom!

Office Space
My office area has been an ongoing challenge since we moved here a little over a year ago. I have so many ideas for this room but I always seem to not have enough storage or space. I've been slowly working on this problem and have some good results. Here are some photos from this work in progress starting with the before shot. (I wish I had a before-the-IKEA-desk shot so you can see how bad it really was!)
Some goals and finish lines here... got a ways to go. I'll definitely post a better full room shot when finished! I plan to re-do my file cabinet later on as part of project re-style, one day get a new monitor and a nice place to store photo print paper.
That's all for today!
