When you have a large space to fill, scale is key! We have a lot of high, skinny windows throughout our house, and figuring out how to fill the space below them has been one of my biggest design challenges. In the kitchen dining area, I left the wall blank for ten years because all the art I tried just looked dwarfed by the scale of the wall. Finally, I came across an inspiration photo of an office where an entire wall was filled with three rows of oversized, black and white photos and it ... View the Post

How to Give Photos a Metallic Glow

Five Ways to Get Your Home Organized With Cricut Joy
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. Cricut has long been established as the ultimate crafting tool! And while I get my craft on from time to time, I've always used my Cricut cutting machine primarily for organizing. While I love my Cricut Explore Air (and am coveting a Cricut Maker for it's ability to cut even more materials), the truth is that both machines are much more powerful than what I need for the majority of my projects. I love ... View the Post

The Best Baby Shower Game: Baby Face Mix and Match
I've helped to host quite a few baby showers over the past several years, and it seems almost universal that the guest of honor/mom-to-be says these two things: (1) "I don't really love baby shower games. No, really, please don't make me look at candy melted in diapers!"; and (2) "It makes me a little uncomfortable to be the center of attention during present opening." I hear you, my friends! As a result of these common sentiments, I have two favorite go-to baby shower activities that always ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Creating Metallic Photos
To celebrate my graduation from law school (more years ago than I’d like to admit), my mom and I took a trip to Savannah, Georgia. While there, we visited a great art gallery and I was struck by a collection of framed photos that appeared to have a metallic finish. It just so happened that the artist was there that day, and after telling him that I admired his work, he proceeded to explain his very complicated process. I don’t remember all the details now, but after we left the gallery ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Gallery Wall Tips for Type A Personalities
My name is Angela, and I have Type A personality. {Now you say:} Hi, Angela! Phew, it feels good to get that off my chest! As you probably already know, I'm a pretty structured person, and I like to create detailed plans before I make any decorating or organizing decisions. When I designed Beckett's "big boy room," I created a to-scale rendering of the the argyle wall to decide on the exact color placements before I began painting. And when I organized our pantry, I drew up a ... View the Post

Behind the Scenes of My Better Homes & Gardens Photo Shoot
When I was in law school rushing home from my contracts class everyday so I wouldn't miss an episode of Trading Spaces, I could have never imagined that one day I'd see photos of me and my home spread across two pages of Better Homes & Gardens. Talk about a "pinch me" moment!! Last week, Blue i Style celebrated its fifth anniversary. When I started this blogging adventure, I was still practicing law full time, Beckett was only 14 month old, and I was 6 months pregnant with Cooper. ... View the Post
