Golden Birthday Party [Details]
A few things about me: I love birthdays. I love parties. I love hosting people. I love gold.
Thus, the golden birthday party was born.
As a birthday present to myself, I decided to host a birthday party at our house. It was my GOLDEN birthday after all. For those who don’t know what that is – it’s when you turn the age of your birth date, in my case 26 on the 26th.
I’ve been planning this party for months, even sending out the save the date in December. I’ll be posting a blog later with all my party planning tips, but for now enjoy all the golden details!

{These gold wine bottles were my favorite and I can’t wait to use them again. They were also insanely easy to make. Take the wine bottle, cover it using spray glue, then pour TONS of glitter on top. Voila!}
{More wine bottle decor and a beautiful banner from Etsy}
{Bathroom details – print from Etsy}
{No party is complete without a photo booth! Make sure to have lots of props (the more random the better), and clearly showcase the event hashtag so people remember to post their photos.}
{Gold spray painted and glittered snowflakes. Bought the wooden snowflakes from a local boutique, then DIYed them gold!}
{Birthday Wall! Probably my favorite thing of the night – hang black butcher paper and have gold sharpies for guests to leave you a birthday message!}

In our little apartment it’s all about the details. Small changes can update the feel of our home and signal a season change. We don’t have the resources to completely redecorate for Spring, so above are some easy, affordable ideas to update your home.
Or if all else fails, just get a cute husband and puppy. That always does the trick.

Mom and I got up to the cold, snowy morning to go explore the lastest Bentonville has added to the square – 21c Museum Hotel. 21c is a luxury hotel with contemporary art and there are only 3 in the country – Louisville, Cinncinati and Bentonville. It has been incredible for me to see how Bentonville has changed over the last 20 years. With the introduction of Crystal Bridges and now 21c, we’re quickly becoming a tourist destination for more reasons than the Walton 5 & 10. If you’re in the area, you must go to 21c whether just for a drink and art browsing or for dinner at the restaurant The Hive.
Enjoy a sneak peek at some of the distinct details of 21c.
Happy Saturday! xo xo
