Tulips on a Tuesday!

Much Ado on this Monday... About Diamonds and Cheer!

Fabulous news to report from the weekend -
my dear, dear friend got engaged!! 

Her wonderful beau popped the question,
she said 'Yes!', 

and she now has a GORGEOUS diamond on her finger!! 

I absolutely could not be more excited for them!

So in honor of diamonds, "a girl's best friend", I thought I would share some diamond inspired rooms. 
From floors to walls, curtains to pillows, diamonds look good on everything! 

Diamonds and stripes!  This rug is made for the geometric lover!

 Diamond Entry Hall

 Diamond Chairs

 Diamond Tiled Bathroom Floor

 Diamond Patterned Walls

Have Your Cookies and Eat Some Ice Cream, Too!

I am more of a chocolate chip cookie girl than an ice cream girl HOWEVER why pick one when you can have both? 

It's National Ice Cream Month so here is the perfect way for my fellow cookie lovers to have our cookies and eat some ice cream too! 

(If only calories didn't count in National Ice Cream Month....)

Happy Tuesday!
