It is all in the details. Having a home that is filled with interesting details and personal touches makes all the difference to your living space as well as your mood. Creating a specific vision in your mind when decorating your place will end in a result that reflects your personality and interests. If you take the time, you will be much happier with the results.

For example, I would paint everything metallic gold if possible. It's a horrible addiction. No dollar store shelf is safe from the wrath of my gold spray paint can. While I try to hold back on occasion - I would probably try to paint the walls gold if I could - you can still definitely see a trend in my design aesthetic.

This summer, inspiration is going to hit me in the face daily. Whether walking down the streets of NYC, crammed on the subway, or working at my internships, I am going to be surrounded by all things creative, fashionable and artistic. Reigan and I plan to harness this inspiration and project it on our own little Do-It-Yourself projects during the weekends. Here are some of my favorite D.I.Y projects, that I hope to complete this summer.
