To the Window to the WALL...

You know you appreciated that title (:

Today my sweetie pie-southern-blogging-bestie is here sharing her favorite design trend of 2011.  I have to say, for a non-design blogger, she rocks this post. Here's Megan from Mackey Madness:

Hey loves! My name is Megan and I blog over at Mackey Madness. 

I am literally giddy about taking over Michaela's blog today while she is getting ready to head home for the summer! She is one of my absolute blogging bffs...and a reason that my daily text message count has majorly increased! : ) I want to channel my inner Mich and talk about my favorite design trend of the year: wallpaper!

I am certainly no interior designer, but I think that this fun wallpaper trend is amazing. It's a perfect way to add some interest or color to a room...and there are tons of ways that it can be done!

Kinda nervous about using wallpaper? (ME!) It can be done light and dainty:

Or if y'all are feeling fierce, it can be done BOLD and BRIGHT:

Still not feeling convinced? I'm loving it in different rooms and used in different ways:

I would definitely enjoy doing laundry in there...for a day or two at least! : )

I'm loving this framed wallpaper collection.

Who wouldn't LOVE to have a pretty closet like this?

Even I could be creative in this office beauty!

This may be my favorite way...framed wallpaper panels. #divine

Does this look familiar?? It's Michaela's DIY bookshelf wallpaper! I love it!

So, give me y'alls verdict...is wallpaper a yes or a no? Have y'all done it anywhere? Do y'all prefer the bold colors or the lighter look? It's a toss up for me...I think I love it all. 

Thanks so much for having me, Michaela! Congratulations on being done with school for the summer!

Thanks, Meg! Didn't you love talking about design for the day? Like I already told you, you're a natural (: Wallpaper sure is a fun way to add lots of spunk to your room! If you're feeling nervous, start in your closet...it will give you something to look forward to every time you go to pick out clothes.


Run {yes, virtually...} over to Mackey Madness to get more of my BFF's cuteness! See you in July, Megan!

Love,



PS. Next time you think your house is messy, look at these pictures of our apartment. Packing is never an easy task, especially with 4 girls.  Here's us keeping it real. These will be the worst, most unattractive interior pictures I will ever post (:

Ha! The joys of moving.
