I’ve recently come across another new blogger (surprise, there are always new ones out there!). She’s been blogging about a year now and she just moved this year to Woodstock, GA, not far from me. Her name is Emily and she blogs at Gold and Stripes and she has a modern aesthetic using lots of black and white and bold colors too. She’s in a rental house right now, but that didn’t stop her from doing a few projects and making the most of it. Hope you enjoy the tour of this pretty home that Emily has created.
I love her use of black and the gold accents really pop. She added that Greek key ribbon to the lampshades, which is a nice touch.
She’s recently completed a gallery wall to accent the wall where the TV is housed and it looks so pretty.
She used several mismatched frames and sprayed them all gold to use with her prints and thrifted them all. Love a bargain hunting girl!
Black hutch in the living room space and I spy a black door too.
She has updated her bathrooms and made them really cute.
Stripes in the powder room adds a lot of pizazz.
The dining area with more black pieces and some mirrored frames and artwork.
The breakfast area sports a table and gold bamboo chairs. Those are so cute!
The master bedroom has an upholstered headboard and black and white striped pillows.
A few pops of color are scattered around.
Looks like the hutch has been moved around from space to space, it’s a great piece for storage.
Her daughter’s room is pretty in pink….and black and white.
Very cute space for Addy.
What little girl wouldn’t love a pink kitchen all her own? So adorable!
Emily loves DIY project too and scored this campaign chest on Craigslist, giving it a fun makeover.
Hope you enjoyed seeing Emily’s Georgia home and get inspired for your own space. Say hello to Gold and Stripes and pay her a visit, I know she’d love to meet you all.
Happy Friday! Today, I’m being featured over at Porch.com, so stop over and read the interview they did with me!

WE ARE JUST SEEING THE SAME ELEMENTS ALL OVER AGAIN, JUST REARRANGED..HOW ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. LET’S LOOK BEYOND THE TRENDS FOR A CHANGE!

deb says
LOVE the pink kitchen in Addy’s room!
Emily Simpson says
Thanks, Deb! My girl loves it too 🙂
Becky in 'Bama says
I smiled to myself when I saw that pretty pink kitchen/bedroom combo. I bet mom had to do some quick photography on that one – as I doubt Addy keeps such a spotless kitchen on most days. 🙂
Emily Simpson says
You were right on the money! I clean her kitchen every night and by the time she’s out of her bed the next day, it’s back to chaos!
Melissa Diskin says
Love your campaign chest — I scored a similar one in Roswell, after one of Rhoda’s thrifting tours! 🙂
Emily Simpson says
I die every time I see one! Never enough campaign furniture! 🙂
martina says

Addy’s kitchen is precious! Love the plates on the wall.
nancy says
She’s done a great job and kudos especially because it’s a rental.
Gilda needs to tone it down and not be so rude.
Emily Simpson says
Thank you, Nancy! We work with what we’ve got but hey, to each his own 😉
Kris {Driven by Décor} says
I just love Emily’s style and how she’s created such a fun, welcoming home for her family!
Emily Simpson says
Thank you, Kris! I’m a pretty big fan of you too 🙂
Debbie says
