Pretty Lights

1 

I've always liked floor length mirrors and I particularly like mirrors with string lights around them. It's a simple DYI if you like the idea. All you need to do is find a mirror that you like, get some string lights, and then drape them around...it's that easy! 

I personally love my Martha Stewart mirror. I can't seem to find it online, but here are some that are similar to mine (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9). Once you have your mirror, get some string lights from target. I love bulb lights like these. I think the bulb lights give a much different look than christmas/string lights, but it's all up to what you prefer.

Once you've found your lights, drape them around the mirror. If your mirror can hold nails, go ahead and nail them in so they stay put! For mine, I just draped them around (either works). If you find you have excess lights just string them around again. And voila! You have a decorated mirror :)

This works for full length mirrors as well as mirrors on desks or dressers. I think it adds a little something extra to a plain mirror. Check out the ones I found online. I'll be sure to post a picture of mine when I'm done with it tonight!

Good luck stringing your mirror :)

Currently Craving

My best friend and I, who is also named Katie (yes, we know), just moved into an awesome apartment outside of Washington, DC. We love our new place, but it was difficult to decide what kind of feel we wanted our new home to have. Did we want lots of color? Lots of bright white? Or just an in between? Believe me - it's a lot harder than you think!

We've put a lot of it together so far, but it is only just the beginning. We're more of the "put it together as we find the pieces" kind of people.

I love getting inspiration from Pinterest and fellow bloggers. Here's what I'm currently craving!

I'm currently craving a mix of both modern and vintage. Lots of white with gold detailing and some pops of color.  Just wishing my apartment/room looked like this! For now, I'll have to settle with dreaming...
