Champagne Valentine’s Day Party!
Valentine’s Day Parties are not just for the children, but after all we are kids at heart. The only difference is we drink the bubbles, not blow them! Here is a gorgeous grown up Valentine’s Day Party perfect for bringing friends and family together.
This romantic color pallette consists of red and shades of pink, plus gold glitter!

Coat the bottles and even vases in gold or pink glitter, which adds a little glitz to your soiree.
Create a fanciful Candy Bar with colorful treats, so your guests can indulge. Do not worry about all the sugar, your sweet nothings meant for your Valentine are calorie free. Hit up the local Farmer’s Market for gorgeous blooms in pink and white, and voila, you have a dazzling Valentine’s Day Party!
Valentine’s Gifts for the Fashionista
So Gentlemen, do you really think simple is better? Well, if you think the definition of simple means just saying “Happy Valentine’s Day” and giving her a card is the best, nonchalant way of being romantic, then you are wrong my friend. While she has thought of something spectacular, but “nonchalant” for you, it is truly about the thought that counts. Why not give her what she wants, not what will get you through the holiday.
This is all about the girl that loves fashion, loves color, loves design, and loves the out-of-the-box surprise. If she loves flowers and pictures, go for the Christian Lacroix throw pillow that has photographic prints and remembrances of travels past. If your girl only has a crush on asymmetrical prints, then spend your dollar on the DVF Ice Bucket. Not only is she the hostess of the mostess, but she makes a mean martini!
Move over Missoni, this elongated Zig Zag pouf will add a little pizazz to her boudoir…that is if you even get a peek of this private space! Besides, if you aren’t keeping her warm at night, this Jean Paul Gaultier Patchwork Quilt will.
If nothing less, make her a candlelit dinner, courtesy of Vera Wang, and be sure to bring flowers. Whether you picked them up at the local floral shop, or picked them yourself, every lady loves that you thought of her.
Hot Masculine Bathroom Styles
Maybe it is the Grey, or maybe the strong and bold stripes in the shower, or perhaps it is Bradley Cooper? Everything about this bathroom offers an updated Masculine look. Breaking away from the Polo Plaid days, where Navy & Green were staples for a Masculine Design, this fresh look is smokin hot.
The long and linear Grey & Brown Subway tiles offer the classicism that every gentleman exudes, while the bold stripes in the shower create a lofty and contemporary space. The Urban Timber look on the bathroom floor adds rustic texture, also perfect for easy maintenance. When was the last time your guy scrubbed the bathroom floor? Exactly.
Keep the fixtures white with a brushed nickel finish, and be sure to add in a contemporary vanity with a dark or black wood finish. All of these elements create a bathroom that would even appeal to the Sexiest Man Alive.
Healthy Game Day Alternatives

Head In the Clouds
When you consider designing your space, what do you think of first? Each Designer has their own approach, and of course a concept is created based on your style. Just when you think you have created a masterpiece, take two steps back and look up. The ceiling space is blank canvas that so many of us forget to consider during the design process.
Here are some inspirational Ceiling Designs that you can recreate with a simple trip to the local Hardware Store. Paint is the simplest solution whether it is the entire ceiling in a pop of color, or displayed as a Pattern like these sweet stripes.
Coffered Ceilings are traditional, but you can jazz them up with an updated splash of color in between the grid. Wallpaper isn’t just for walls either, my dear. Keep your walls simple, and add a little life to the ceiling, like this adorable Nursery. You can also go Metallic with these Hammered Tin Ceiling Tiles, which offer some sparkle and interest to an otherwise simple space.
I don’t know about you, but when I can’t sleep I lay in bed staring at the ceiling making Lists in my head or planning out the day…why not have something fabulous to look at besides the boring ceiling fan? Whether in your bedroom or not, a Stylish Ceiling creates a custom look that every daydreamer desires.
Let’s Get Graphic
Sometimes all a girl needs is a little excitement in her life to remind her that she is fabulous, and an exciting environment can be more tantalizing than a shopping spree! Graphics are all the rage and add so much life to a space. Sticking with one or two colors in a graphic pattern looks updated and lively.
Create a graphic space similar to this secret hideaway with our Kibak Weave Tiles, and let your creativity flourish! Just as we put on our favorite dress, red lipstick, or our highest heels, this space will help you reclaim your confidence. Now that you’ve been reminded, get graphic!
