Friday Five

-
It's Friday!  It seemed like it didn't get here soon enough.  Not like I'm trying to rush through life, but I love the weekends.  Lots of family time and getting things done around the house.  And you know what else?  It's the first day of spring!!!  Woo hoo.  It's been feeling like spring around here for the last week or so.  The change in temps has been nice.  I don't care for cold weather so spring is welcomed with warm arms.

I wanted to share some things with you that have caught my eye over the past week.

1) I made a quick stop into Target this week and noticed the new Threshold items out for spring.  The bright colors are gorgeous!  There was lots of pink and gold on display.  I love the pink ottoman.  Makes me want to re-do my daughter's room just to get one.

 Items are an extra 10% online with the code SHAMROCK.
 
2) Speaking of Target, they are having a sale on shoes for the family.  I've always loved their shoes.  Super affordable and always on trend.

 
Gabriela Sandals / Julie Wedges
Emmett Sneaker / Ernest Wingtip Oxfords
Rachel Piper Gladiator / Parker Sneakers

 3) One of my favorite places for design inspiration now is Instagram.  So many talented bloggers and designers displaying their rooms.  If you're not following @paradecraze, you should.  They showcase pictures from Parade of Homes events around the country and they're always so nice.
 

4) Megan over at It's a Grandville Life built some amazing floating shelves in her dining room.  They look great with her buffet.

5) I've got my eye on this Kate Spade pillow at West Elm.  I like the pattern and of course the blue!


 The weather is supposed to be nice for the first weekend of spring.  Hopefully we'll be able to get out and enjoy it.

 Have a great weekend!

Wall Mounted TV and Hiding The Cords

-

We mounted the loft TV on the wall last week.  We knew we didn't want those ugly cords connected to the TV to be seen.  I had done a few searches to see what our options were for hiding them.  Turns out, there are several.  My least favorite was the cord cover and I knew that wasn't going to work for me. Here are the pieces we bought from Home Depot.  They are wall plates that allow you to pull the cords through but keep them hidden in the wall. After we figured out where we wanted the holes, using the template in the package, we cut a hole right under the TV mount for the cords coming from the TV.  It made me a little nervous cutting a hole in the wall.  The cords also needed a place to exit at the bottom.  We cut the second hole straight down from the top one, right next to the outlet where the cords would be plugged in. To make it easier to get the dropped cords, we installed the top plate first.  It just goes into the hole and the screws tighten it against

Gray Bathroom Cabinets

From the start, I wanted all the bathroom cabinets to be dark like the master bathroom .  I began my usual search online for more ideas. As I was searching, I came across bathrooms with gray cabinets.  I must say, I love the look. I have seen plenty of gray kitchens but never thought to have the bathroom cabinets gray as well. source   source source   I'm a little torn now.  I like the gray cabinets but with all things, my tastes change, so not sure if I would still like them in a couple years.  If I go this route, it would totally throw a curve into the plan since the walls are already painted.  Gray walls and cabinets would be overload. What do you think about gray cabinets?  Are your cabinets a color you don't see often?

Installing Ikea Lack Shelves

I have wanted built-ins somewhere in my home for forever. They look so classic and they are extra spot to house beautiful home decor pieces. I have seen many a hack for turning the Ikea Billy bookcase into built-ins but I kept debating whether I was up for the challenge. Were built-ins too much for me? In my head I wanted something simpler too.  In my searches for DIY built-ins I kept coming across floating shelves. I love the modernness of them. The clean lines. The way they just seem to be coming out of the wall. There were times where I would browse Homegoods and Target seeing all the pretty things I could put on shelves. Alright done. Floating shelves it was. Once I decided on floating shelves, the debate was whether I wanted to build them or just buy them. Building them meant I could make them the exact size I wanted them to be. Buying them meant I would have to just settle for the size they came in. My wall is 90 inches wide and the shelves are only about 75 inches wide so I
