bathroom inspiration

I'll be redoing a bathroom at my parents' house soon, so am trying to gather inspiration.  My budget may be like $50, so I've got to figure out how to make the bathroom chic on a budget!  I'm thinking grey walls with white, purple, and green accents.

And love the idea of the grey subway tiles here, but don't think that is going to be in the budget:

I have always wanted a red coat.  This one just seems perfect for the cool weather (hopefully) coming our way!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Personalized stationary.

So sorry that I have been gone for so long!  I promise I will be better from here on out! 

I have been searching for some beautiful personalized stationary for a while now.  I have some notes that are gorgeous, but they only have an "E" on them - I'd also like to have ones with my full name.  Crane was having a summer sale (50 pieces for $59!!) at Papyrus on personalized notes, but they were very specific as to paper colors, layout, etc.  Though it was an amazing deal, I just couldn't find any that I truly loved.  (And I went through that book multiple times hoping that this time I would find something...). 

I do love these notes/cards below, but how am I supposed to decide?!


(love the pink and gold here)  


(love the pink and orange together)



Annnd I know the last set are not personalized with my full name, but I love, love, love Kate Spade, so had to include them!

{inspiration} closets

I think every girl loves her closet, because it is where she stores elements of her personal style.  My closet is so amazingly huge right now, I love it.  Unfortunately, when I move, my closet is going to be quite a bit smaller.  I'm not even sure if all of my stuff will fit! Anyhow, aren't these closets amazing?  I aspire to have a closet like one of these one day...
