Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

I feel pretty DUMB admitting to this BUT someone named Kara shot this home tour & I just can't find her submission email!  If you know who they belong to, PLEASE let me know so I can LINK back & give her credit! My apologies....

Now, onto this home.....it's so clean & crisp! It reminds me of a home that's just being moved into where they decided to position ONLY their favorite pieces first! The kitchen has got to be my absolute favorite...can you guess why!!?

UPDATE: Photos are by Kara Shurtliff

However, the only space I couldn't quite figure out was the blue cabinet area, looks like a kitchen, but I don't see appliances or a stove..any ideas ? Laundry room? Enjoy!

Irene's Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

How was the weekend for all of you? I had a really nice time! Got to walk around & feel the sun on my skin and even bought a bathing suit, from Target.  It's a navy blue & white striped two piece, I can't wait to lie out by the sun this Sunday! 


On another note, I've got a home tour which I'm sure you'll love.  It comes to us from Irene of Design Stiles blog. 


My favorite part of her home is bedroom and OF COURSE that gorgeous yellow lamp with the black shade! I'm so fond of BLACK shades, in fact most of the lamp shades in my own home are black....let me know what you think of her place...

Above: the wallpaper makes this powder room appear so much more glamorous! Don't you think?

Danielle's Home Tour...(Via Made by Girl)

We are slowly (it seems) approaching the weekend. I can't wait to see what the weather is going to be like. It's been in the 80's out of nowhere & you know what that means? SUNBATHING by the pool for me while listening to some Sam Cooke on my iPhone. Ugh can't wait... !!! 

And YOU? Are you looking forward to the warmer WEATHER???

Back to blogging because today I'm introducing you to Danielle Oakey, an Interior Design graduate and mother of one.  She's also a blogger, blogging about interior design, decor ideas, DIY & more! You can catch her blog posts here. I was happy to hear that she wanted to share her home with all of us, so of course I said yes! 

below: her daughter's room! Super cute don't you think?

For those of you interested, Danielle also provides design services online! Read more here.

Sara's D.C. Apartment Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

This Wednesday I bring you the home of Sara who blogs over at High Fashion For Less. A blog about shopping for bargains & how fashion should not be a privilege. As for Sara's home, it's a unique & interesting place with painted brick walls & super dark wood floors situated in Washington DC.  


As I'm looking through her home, I noticed what a neat idea she had in placing two ottomans together as a sitting area. It adds extra seating to the space while still remaining versatile. The ottomans are also a good size & don't take up so much space, which is nice!


Hope you enjoy! Let Sara know what you think of her D.C. pad. 

Thank you Sara!

Carissa's Home Tour...(Via Made By Girl)

Canadian Blogger Carissa has a great DIY project on her blog where she creates her VERY own chevron patterned rug. That's right! Let's just say, it's super pretty & NOT cheesy looking. She basically bought a flat loop area rug & hand painted ALL the zig zags! You can see the tutorial here. 

Carissa was so awesome to share some of her home with all of us here on MadeByGirl & I'm so glad about that! I can't get over how LARGE the area rug is, right??  Let her know what you think of her home. You can also check out her blog, The fabulous Design File for more inspiration!

thanks Carissa!
