Awhile ago, before we purchased our home, I started compiling photos that served as decor inspiration. The picture to your left was one of the first ones that grabbed my attention, planting the little seed in my brain that grew into lust to have my very own pink room. Sure enough, after we found the house of our dreams, I began planning a replica based on that one little photo. I’m happy to say that after a few trips to Target, IKEA and Homegoods, that room is finally starting to take shape.
Lovable Friday!
I’m back everyone!!! I’ve felt pretty detached from all things Internet since we started the move last weekend, but I’m happy to report that I am back in the saddle! We are completely head over heels over our new home, but it is a lot of work! I’ll make sure to post pictures next week of the progress we have made and will be sharing a lot of our ideas for the future. Also, make sure to keep your eyes peeled next week for another amazing fashion giveaway you are going to love! June is going to be a very busy month for Melificent – I can’t wait to share it all with you guys!
I honestly cannot control my insane happiness over the news that my favorite band in the world, The Smashing Pumpkins, will be playing an extremely intimate series of shows during the month of July. As if that wasn’t cool enough, one of their few stops is in Fort Lauderdale, specifically, at Revolution Live (one of my favorite venues)! Are you kidding me???? I’m pretty sure I just fangirled myself. Mr. Corgan is also hinting that special VIP access may be granted to some special fans including a private soundcheck! Unfortunately, the band has not released ticket prices or onsale dates, which has me extremely anxious. Must.have.tickets.now.

Before’s & After’s
I promised all of you some fun before and after shots as we progressed on our new home and we’ve been moving along enough to finally share some with you! We still have so much to go, but are having fun with the process. Well, except for that pesky mortgage part – our first payment gets sent in tomorrow – ouch! 😉
Gorgeous new laminate flooring in Rustic Maple and real crown moldings. That’s right, they used to be foam. I’m just as confused as you are, no worries.
Home Wish List
Not only have I been compiling a huge “to do” list for our new home, but I also have been compiling another “want,covet,need” list as well. I thought I’d share a few of those items on the list with all of you! But be warned, they may end up on your own list!

Weekend Highlights!
I had a pretty rough week, so I welcomed Friday night with open arms. Thankfully, we had some pretty great plans. We met up with some of our friends at Trattoria Sole in South Miami for some good eats and equally tasty drinks. I decided to be adventurous and ordered the grilled octopus, which was possibly the best thing I’ve ever had at Sole. Yummy tentacles!
