Finding my Style...

I have a list of blog favs that I visit often. One of them being Vintage Revivals. Mandi over at VR has started a little challenge that she calls FFA (Fearlessly Finding Awesome). Last week she challenged readers to find their style using a quiz by HomeGoods. Sidenote - we don't have a HomeGoods store where I live. I have been to them and they are awesome and I wish we did but the closest we have is TJ Maxx and Marshalls which are all owned by the same company. Anyhow...I love taking quizes and have been trying to put a name to my kind of style anyways...so why not!? I'm not sure if it nailed me exactly but it's pretty close!

Trista, You Are A DRAMATIC ECLECTIC
You have wide-ranging interests and influences, and 

so appreciate a mix of styles, periods, and objects. You 

would never dream of using matching suite of furniture 

or could stand a home that seemed cookie-cutter. You are 

a risk-taker and a trendsetter. You are not afraid of glamour 

or humor, and you love bold, theatrical statements—a 

fantastic color, out-there wallpaper or paint treatment, or 

a wonderfully graphic fabric. Your home surprises and 

delights others, thanks to your unique vision. Because 

you embrace an exciting sense of color, art and drama your 

home makes a happy impact.

You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly 

place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and 

relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, 

overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You 

may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns 

to create a cozy effect.

Your Happy Home Colors

It has some other information with it as well that is very 

interesting and interesting as to how to use your style and color. 

You should go see what your style is. Feel free to leave me a 

comment to let me know yours!

P.S. I like how my colors resemble my blog...hmm.

Eebbee Smiles

This is my little nephew I call him Eebbee! He has a lot of other cute nicknames. I always joke with my sister that he's never going to know his real name...especially because his nicknames have caught on. Now everyone in my family call him one of the many nicknames he's been assigned. Oops! I found out there is actually a children's television show (you can find it on Netflix) with that name and it has the cutest theme song...so now I sing it to him all the time. He thinks it's funny...now whether he's laughing at the song or my singing is debatable. But the song goes something like this: "Eebbee bebe bebe bebe baby, Eebbee bebe baby bebe boo, Eebbee bebe bebe bebe baby, Eebbee bebe baby I love you!"

Anyways, I was taking him to daycare for my sister and he was being so cute looking at me over the top of his car seat so I had to take his picture. My husband was out of town this week and he was missing Eebbee so I sent the picture to him...I knew it would make him smile...it did!

He melts me with those big eyes and his cute little personality!

Here's to smiling today!

There's a first time for everything...

I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while now. Today (ok...ok so it's night time) seemed like a good time to start! I'm not exactly sure where this blog will go but...as of now it's just a place to share thoughts, experiences, ideas, and projects. I currently have a project of trying to start a new business and thought oh, why not start a blog too. I'm excited and nervous, but here we go...

Good Night,

Trista
