Inspiration Week: The Aestate

Ok, so I thought it would be easy to write these posts, but I've gotta admit, I'm kind of wondering where to even start.

The first little lady I want to share with yall is Jessica, of The Aestate.

She's kind of beyond awesome.  She has a love for most anything brass/gold, and that could not make this girl happier.  And she's freaking hilarious to boot.

Although she's moved now, these are some pictures of her previous home and they can give you just a hint of how great her taste is.

And yes, if you were wondering about the gold stripes...she painted them.

So clearly she has some incredible DIY chops, but here are a few more, just to drive my point home.

The thing about her projects that I love is they aren't run-of-the-mill.  She really thinks outside of the box.  {Wow, I can't believe I just used that phrase when 2 of the tutorials on her are...well...boxes.}

That middle fabric I want to do for some pillows one day.

But can we take a moment for that amazing bamboo dresser with brass hardware?!

So, as if all this wasn't enough, she has an Etsy shop where she sells decor and some of the coolest water color paintings ever.  Oh, did I mention she's the one with the painting chops?  Yup.

Basically what I'm saying it, Jessica has definitely got some swagger.  She pins some of the most awesome interiors this girl has ever seen.  She even gave her predictions on one of 2013's next big trends and I couldn't be happier...or agree more.

All in all, Jessica's blog is most always some super inspiration.  Whether she's getting me think about my next DIY project, new interiors, or making me laugh, she's definitely top on my list of bloggity blogs to keep your eye on.

I hope you'll go show Jessica some love!
