American Glamour

I've recently rediscovered my passion for interior design (thank you, HGTV), and have been scouring the internet looking for the best design blogs. Rather than surfing fashion blogs per usual, I've enjoyed gazing at beautifully decorated homes and apartments, and now I'm itching to move into my own apartment so I can let my creative juices flow freely. 

Alas, it seems that I will be trapped living the dorm life for the next year, so I won't get the chance to decorate quite yet. 

These rooms in particular are some of my favorites by designer Michelle Workman, who describes the style of this SoCal home as "American Glamour."

How lovely.

Missin' My Kitchen

{Lemon Meringue}

If there's one thing I'm missing about home right now, it's definitely my kitchen. There's something about being able to make a pie whenever you're feelin' blue that makes the world seem so much brighter. These photos are from a talent show back in high school (yes, baking is a talent!), and are probably my favorite pies of all time. Lemon meringue is a classic (and it's also just a gorgeous pie), and you cannot go wrong with Peanut Butter Banana Cream. Seriously, it's delicious. 

Ok, now I'm hungry.
