Back from the Lake

I have returned from my Lake Powell vacation. It was so much fun and I'm having a hard time getting back into "normal life mode". 

I celebrated my 27th birthday while we were there on Sunday! I couldn't have asked for a better day. I have such a great family and I enjoyed getting to spend time with them in such a beautiful setting.  

Here is a glimpse at my pregnant feet getting wider by the day. 

Jett loved the boat but had a hard time staying awake on it!

He is really into the "cheesy" smile right now. 

Now it's back to returning emails and doing lots and lots of laundry. 

My Favorite Kind of Mail

Some beautiful fabric samples arrived in the mail last week from Robert Allen. And since few things make me happier than pretty fabric combos I started playing around with my new samples. 

All of these are from Robert Allen are are available to order through me. Let me know if you are interested! 

Cresthaven Dining & Kitchen

Last week I shared the Living Room I did for the model home and this week I'm sharing the Dining and Kitchen area. Here is the mood board I create for the space. 

Our budget for the dining room and kitchen was $1,000. I think I went over about $100 on this room. If we had been able to afford it I would have loved to have done curtains in here as well and add more accessories and a backsplash to the kitchen. I think for $1,000 I did the best I could with this space. 

Rug: Safavieh Dhurries Light Blue Rug from Wayfair | I actually scored this rug for a little cheaper on Joss & Main. 

My intern Kayley found these lamps on Craigslist for $25 each. I had the fabric from the living room pillows matched at Lowes to get that great salmon color. I painted them myself using this tutorial. I tried and tried to find new shades but we ran out of time. I find that finding the perfect lamp shade is sometimes impossible. So we made do with what we had. 

Sideboard: Isala Sideboard from Ikea

Coral Artwork: Z Gallerie I don't think it's available anymore. We got them for $79 each. 

Whale: Z Gallerie 

Orchid: Pier 1

We got the table on sale at DownEast for $175! It's originally from Pottery Barn. 

Chairs: Ingolf Chair from Ikea

The barstools were a great find on Craigslist. We got them for $15 each! 

Rug: Kite Kilim Rug from West Elm | We scored this rug for a great deal on sale a few months ago. 

Bowls: Anthropologie 

Urchin: Donated by Honeymoon at Home

Chalkboard Jars: Pier 1

Our Fourth of July

follow me on instagram @kirstenkrason

I hope you all had an amazing 4th of July. We partied hard in Provo and had so much fun. We ate lots of yummy food, rode in the Provo parade, ate snow cones, went shopping, BBQd, played card games and watched fireworks. It felt like summer which is just what you want on the 4th of July. 

I also wanted to mention that my sponsor Brightsides Designs is offering these two patriotic prints for 50% off for the rest of July! 

The Land that I Love print is only $4.50 and the Land of the Free print is only $6! Stock up for next year. These are too good of a deal to pass up! 

This weekend I'm off to beautiful Lake Powell.

I'll be returning next week with more room reveals from the model home. Have a great weekend! 

Cresthaven Living Room

I wanted the overall feel of the model home to be breezy and fresh feeling. Basically I wanted it to be different from most model homes that you see in Utah. My client and I fell in love with Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue after seeing it used by Caitlin Creer. So we based the room off of that. This is the first time in my life I have ever started a room with paint color rather than fabric. It was a little tricky but we were able to pull it all together with a raspberry, yellow and blue color scheme. 

Here is the mood board I created for the Living Room. 

Our overall budget was around $2,000 for the room. We were able to get some great deals on the pieces in this room and a few items donated by Etsy sellers. For this room we stayed pretty much on budget. 

Here it is! 

Rug: Rugs USA Homespun Chevron Rug in Light Blue  We got it for a great deal. Rugs USA has amazing sales all the time.
