Yep. A Monday Ditto. Carry on as if everything is normal…

It has been a while since I mentioned how much I do NOT like to do DIY projects. Those of you who have been hanging with me for a while know this fact. And you also know that I think, if you ARE going to bother doing a DIY project, I really think you should do one that is worth all the time and money. In other words, don’t be fooled into thinking DIYs are cheap, if you consider your materials and time.. so it had BETTER be ditto-worthy and look dang good in the end.

I keep an entire Pinterest board filled with DIY projects that I think are ditto-worthy. Not that I ever do any of them…

I call this board DIY’s Worth Doing, because I think they are WORTH it. They could result in a high-end look and will save you money and look ROCKING if you are willing to put in the time. Not many DIY projects make my cut, she says with a smile.

The other day I stumbled upon a project that I think is ULTRA ditto-worthy! I think you will love it as much as I do:

Check out this gorgeousness:

{Rosa Beltran Design}

Can you believe that all of this magic happened with marbled art paper and mounting squares!!? FOR REAL. Click on over to this post on Rosa’s blog to get the full scoop {which is super simple} so you can recreate the prettiness in a nook of your own.

Cheap. Simple. Classy. with results that look like TOTAL high-gloss glamour!!!! I vote yes.

Feeling inspired by Agate and Marbled walls? I TOTALLY am.

More ditto-worthy inspiration for marbleized and agate walls can be found on my Pin-board “Inspiration Fabrics and Wallcoverings.” Meanwhile, here are three of my personal faves :

Would you do a marbleized wall?

Where would you?

Here is a sweet, tiny little story that is worth pausing for, me thinks.

Two weeks ago, when I was having the time of my life shopping with a bestie in ATL, {Angenigma of course}…

I spotted this amaze-balls skirt in Anthropologie…

I commented that I LOVED it…

“But where would I even wear something like that?”

Angela said something that I will always remember:

“Wear it to the grocery store. Be that Person.”

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Be that Person.

This post on being GUTSY was my way of saying that same thing,

but honestly, I just love the short-and-sweet of that truth:

Be that Person.

A Guest Room That Will Have You Drooling

Today’s ditto post features a room that I was SO DANG LUCKY to sleep in last week. My friend Angela’s guest bedroom. I wish I could share the full reveal of every corner of this gorgeous space, but can you believe it, I did NOT take pictures. I had a snafu with my flight, and I missed out on an entire day of my precious visit to Chateau d’Angela. Instead, I soaked in every moment of my house tour sans camera… soaking in time with my precious friend.

Me and my girl at Scott’s Market in Atlanta. Oh, and Shakespeare. And some other dude:

Which by the way, if you do not yet follow Angela on her blog and on Instagram, your life is missing something.

and did I mention this???:

Yep. That would be Angela’s home that she is renovating in jaw-dropping fashion.

Which is why I am kicking myself for not taking pictures. But, I will do my best to piece together as many pics as I can from the inter webs {ahem. stolen from her Instagram account and blog} to give you a glimpse into one of the most ditto-worthy rooms you have seen in a long time!

{Ditto posts demonstrate a great exercise for you as you continue to develop your own personal style: using your own favorite pictures, and making a quick list of what you actually love about the space. If you study what you love about a space, it helps you to bring what you LOVE into your own home!}

Interior Designers need designers too, right? Do you hear me Angela!!??? Feast in this gorgeousness and you will see why I am trying to drag Angela by her hair to help me decorate my own house!!!!

So. Ditto!!!!

The Guest Room that Will Have You Drooling:

and a few more pics with updated bedside styling and new pillows!!!

{ via TPHblog }

WHAT I LOVE {What I would ditto!}:

1. The HAND PAINTED peony wall. I. DIE.

2. The crisp bedding with gorgeous pillow detailing. And yes, I slept like a baby.

3. The stunning red bed. What guest couldn’t use a little drama? Hand delivered at Angela’s place.

4. The art. All of it. I am going to steal it.

5. The plethora of side tables, all inviting me to drop my bag down and stay a while. I think I shall…..

6. That bathroom. OH I WISH I had pictures. But do you see the little glimpse of it. That custom tile? Stalk Angela on Instagrammy to find out more. And beg her to post more pics, while you are at it.

7. Ribbon art!!!

8. The modern lines of the bed against the classic lines of the curvy-legged settee bench.

9. Oh, and did I mention THAT PEONY WALLLLLL?????????

DO YOU LOVE IT?? WHAT DO YOU LOVE? WHAT DESIGN ELEMENTS WOULD YOU DITTO IN YOUR OWN HOME? DO TELL!!!!!!
