You know that feeling when you check in at a hotel room and you’re automatically transported into a blissful state of mind? We all love it. It’s the same type of ambience I try to create at home for guests; creating a guest bedroom that is a retreat not just another room. Here are my favorite guest room essentials when it comes to planning a welcoming room for guests.

I'm often inspired by the beautiful interiors of retail spaces, and on a recent trip to J.Crew I noticed a simple yet intriguing piece of art hanging on the wall that made me stop and think, "I could do that!" So I did. If anyone knows who the original artist is, please let me know in the comments. Aside from fashion my true love is art and I would love to know who created this piece. Ok, now on to the how to! It's super easy and essentially free (how's that for budget?) aside from purchasing a frame.

My affinity for tranquil and monochrome bedrooms has been well documented here, but I can’t seem to get enough of spaces that exude that feeling of calm we all crave at home. This bedroom’s eclectic decor creates a sense of ease and relaxation within a beautiful white rustic space. It's a nice departure from the more bohemian or super vibrant eclectic rooms that are trending right now, yet still offers enough variety so as not to be boring.

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought it fitting to showcase some of the latest baubles catching my eye in the jewelry department at Target. Don't they have the best stuff?! From statement necklaces to statement earrings, Target has on-trend sparkle that will help transform existing clothes in your wardrobe into a fab Valentine's Day look (budget-friendly!) - or make a sweet gift for a special friend. I'd love to receive this necklace - I love the color palette of mint, navy and smoky topaz - this bold bib necklace, or this elegant necklace (only $11.98 online at Target.com!) And because our homes need love, too, I mixed in a few photos of some of the new home decor items in store. Bright yellow, coral and blue are just what you need to liven your space and keep the winter doldrums at bay.

A new year means a fresh new perspective about a lot of things. If you're anything like me, that means cleaning starts in full gear - I don't wait until springtime to declutter, toss and organize. The challenge of organizing is that it is a daunting task and there is always the problem of not enough storage space. The biggest issue for me is hiding heavily used items away in a closet which then becomes a problem when I try to reach for them!
