SPARKLE: Inspired by the Snow and Ice
Seeing heavy snow fall is so magical. We recently got over a foot here in Chapel Hill! Here are a few ideas to capture the feeling of a magical world full of snow and ice to add sparkle into your environment. So grab your favorite bubbly and let's get our sparkle inspiration on.
Metallic Tile
Metallic tile adds fun and pizzaz to bathrooms, kitchens, and really just about any space. Boring mudroom? Bring in some metallic tile! It doesn't take a lot to really make a big impact - the right touch brings that hint of excitement and sparkle that can light up your space and your mood.[one_half]

These ceramic tiles are laid in a herringbone pattern and glazed with a touch of shimmer. Great pattern, color, texture, but not over the top. These tiles could be a great solution for balancing a more masculine, rustic palette with a hint of glam. Add in brass fixtures and this becomes an effortless design #yaaaas.
Sparkle Lighting
One of the easiest ways to turn a space from blah to #yaaaas is lighting. I'm in love with groupings of pendants - especially tear drop crystals. This Elan Lavina pendant light in the right space could be the absolute perfect and stunning statement piece. For a unique asymmetrical design, hang this type of fixture to one side of the bathroom mirror, or over a dresser in the bedroom.
Do you need more than just a handful of crystals? Want to deck out your room like the Grammy's red carpet? Think of flush-mount like perfect statement jewelry for your room. Put this in your walk-in master closet with some fun and funky wallpaper and you're now ready for your own Grammy's inspired dressing room.
Metallic Walls
While we're dreaming of nontraditional walls, let's go ahead and throw some sparkle inspiration out there. Why stay basic, when you can be fabulous?
