We have had some unusual winter weather the past 2 weeks in Dallas.  Last week we had an ice storm which caused some much needed time to rest.  Of course during this down time I have been searching Pinterest for decorating inspirations.  Lately, I have been inspired by Vintage and Shabby Chic Décor. I literally stayed up till 4am surfing the web.  The only reason I stopped was to paint an antique vanity in my guest room.  Yes, I am a little obsessed with Decorating!! I can't help myself it is so much FUN!!  You must see some pictures that had me so inspired to paint at 4am.

 

After looking at these cool inspirations I painted this Antique vanity below! I used Annie Sloan chalk paint and dark wax to create a Shabby Chic Masterpiece!

I Love decorating and looking at model homes.  I schedule day trips to view home tours whenever they are available.  My home do not stay the same very long because I am always changing up after getting inspired by other homes.  Having a husband that allow me to freely express myself with our home décor has been a blessing.  I would like to share pictures from some of the homes I have recently visited.

The pictures above were taken during my tour of a Local Model Home.

The master suite is very spacious featuring a seating area and tray ceilings.  My favorite room in this model is the master bath. The tub is amazing.

 

My favorite tour in 2013 was the Fort Worth Dream Home designed by my favorite designer

Donna Moss.

Watching Donna post sneak peaks of this tour was torture.  It was well worth the wait! Take a look at some of the pictures that I have below.
