I was pretty pumped when I was asked to partner with Crystal Light Liquid to help promote their new “Explore the New Flavors” campaign by taking the challenge to add vibrancy to my life. Get creative? OK. Where do I start?
Try and tell me that doesn’t remind you of my closet. LOL. So I decided that is where I would choose to add some excitement, and vibrancy to my life, by decorating that closet of mine. I grabbed a a glass of my Peach Bellini Crystal Light Liquid and got to work.
I decided to start by adding some excitement and updates to the large corner shelf beside my vanity. I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of cash, so I tried to think of things I could re-purpose that I already had.
I had always wanted one of those fancy headband holders you see a la pinterest, so I took two of these circular martini glass boxes I had laying around, and decided they were perfect to hold my festive hair accessories.
After several hot glue burns, and almost giving up, I finally did achieve something I thought was semi cute and worthy of being in the closet, LOL.
I also thought outside the box and bought this adorable cake stand to add to one of the shelves to display some makeup and things. This really added a girly element that I just love!
This pink purse you see here, is a gift from my grandma. It was hers, she got it in the 50’s I believe from my grandpa as a gift when they were in Washington, DC. Isn’t that precious? Love that is has found a new home with me 🙂
So here is my corner shelf after some sprucing up, and re-decorating! I love! Do you see the 8×10 of me and Carrie hiding in there? Yes, I AM that crazy.
I also wanted to take advantage of the shelf above my dresses, by adding some pictures, and cute girlie accents. Before, it was a holding spot for my sweatshirts, and embarrassingly not attractive.
I bought the little vase and flower puff thing from Home goods, the big white three frames from Marshall’s, and I re-purposed a cardboard hat box I had laying around (you can actually see it in the before pic!)

i love the ole bed skirt turned box-height-maker trick… it reminds me of the time i spray painted shot glasses to make mini flower vases. alicia (the photographer) inspires me as i begin my own photographer journey!
Your blog inspired me in my own closet—I'm hoping to have that baby put together this weekend!

Loving the closet Miss! Can I move in 😉
I would say that blogging inspires me to be more vibrant.. I mean I can't have people thinking I'm not vibrant and sparkling 🙂
Your closet is so fab! I get a lot of inspiration from pinterest and blogs.
Pinterest and blogs mainly – although I still love a good paper mag for inspiration
Your closet is amazing! My dream closet right there 🙂
This is amazing! You've created a total dream closet that is a fun space beyond just storage. So cool!
I adore your closet. I'm going to need you to come help make my closet VIBRANT! 🙂
Look at you just designin' on a dime! Love it, and you, PLL! YOU are my inspiration for all things hair, makeup & girly shabby chic! And to be 100% social addicted–Pinterest inspires me to get crafty in the kitchen. We've been eating so many VIBRANT (I feel like I have to use that word?!) vegetables lately!
My moods and how bored I get with my surroundings. I need to change things up almost yearly at spring time.

I get inspiration from blogs like yours and Pinterest, I could spend hours on there!!!
I get inspiration from Instagram, and magazines!
holy hair supplies on that bottom shelf! I would have a field day in there! I love testing new products…and oh…BTW…i have such closet envy!
I work in a nursing home setting. Listening to the stories, memories, and even regrets that my patients has inspires me to be more vibrant in all I do. And I have some ladies that inspire me to be vibrant through the image they have of themselves and seeing their reaction to spending time with people. They exude vibrancy when someone spends time with them.
I love your decor posts! Such a lovely closet :)!
I get inspiration from fashion magazines and Pinterest

I add vibrancy to my life when I buy fresh flowers! I don't have a very big apartment, and fresh flowers ALWAYS make it look more chic!! They bring me a smile when I see them in my kitchen as I make breakfast and that smile stays with me all day!

Color, design and nature inspire me to be more vibrant!
I believe adding vibrancy to life is adding things that make it multi-dimentional (after all, diamonds have multiple facets, why can't I?!). Last year, I did fitness competitions. I was so focused on working out and eating fish and asparagus that I literally turned dull. I forgot how to love life! So I decided to stop.
I added some "vibrancy" by spending more time with loved ones, doing things I have never tried or hadn't done in a while! I signed up for paddle-boarding contest (failed miserably), the Hubs and I spent one afternoon just getting big-kid drunk off of martinis, I ate three pieces of cake at a wedding (after not having sugar for a year, I was a bit sugar-buzzed), I've traveled to three different countries in the last year, etc. I don't regret a moment I didn't spent in the gym for the memories I made outside it! 😛
Blogs like yours and a few others and Pinterest inspire me to add more vibrance!
Summer inspires me.
I drink these crystal light things like it's my job, so they inspire me. Catalogues, Pinterest, and Instagram also inspire my wardrobe to be more vibrant!
Pinterest, blogs and happy people inspire me to add more vibrance to my life 🙂
LOVE what you've done with the place!!
I get the most inspiration from Pinterest and crafting/diy/fashion blogs 😀 And of course posts like this!
shelter mags such as hgtv always inspire me to add vibrancy and color to my house, as desire to host cocktail parties at my house. Got to spiff things up first!
Living in NYC, I find inspiration to make my life vibrant everywhere. Especially in the different types of clothing people wear and Central Park =)
I am trying out this "Miss Independent" thing, and recently bought a house on my own, too. It needs some updating, but I am all about DIY! It's kind of empowering to take something old and lifeless and turn it into something "vibrant!" I think it's those treasured, sentimental items we put into our homes that make them really special. My closet aspires to be like yours when it grows up! 🙂 Just beautiful!
I am *trying* to step out of my comfort zone with clothes and makeup. Maybe it's time that my old reliable "one pop of color" rule got a little makeover!
Pinterest and blogs are huge places I get ideas from. And also, just walking around stores that I wouldn't normally shop in. The colors and textures push my boundaries and make me think outside the box a little.
BTW, LOVE your closet. I asked my husband if I could have one like that one day and he basically laughed at me, but a girl can dream haha 🙂
What inspires me to be a more vibrant would have to be Pinterest, Instagram, Blogs; I am totally inspired by some of the amazing people that I follow. They inspire me to add a little spice to my life and try different things, which I am usually not too good at! 🙂

I love traveling to new places and being inspired by the new cultures, architecture, and people!
loved this post:) I get inspiration from people i love, faith, everything girly and the south!!
I love this makeover. I'm always jealous of your creative abilities! (My creative level is ZERO!)
Things that inspire me to live more vibrantly are the interesting and intelligent people I meet through blogging. Especially you!

OMG OMG OMG! I have the same pink vintage bag that you do! I bought mine at a town square sale. It's interesting to know how old the bag is. I adore mine!
I love that you used an old bed skirt on that box. I have been trying to add some height above our kitchen cabinets!
I love bright clothes to inspire my fashion!
I have an idea in my head that I can't shake until I make it come to fruition!
I love to create something beautiful from the stuff I already have.
Your closet is dreamy!
Other people definitely inspire me! And pinterest too, although sometimes I think it inspires me a little too much! 🙂
This post is too cute and I love your crafty ways. Oh, and gimme that sequin dress 🙂 xo
I try to wear sparkly jewlery and paint my nails to be more vibrant…my kids attempt to hinder my vibrant wearing skills though by pulling on sparkly earrings, etc.! 🙂
I love your decorating- it's basically my dream!
I like to add a touch of vibrancy with bright lipsticks and some sparkle never hurt anyone!

i love your closet! vintage and girly are currently my favorite things together.
where did you get the cupcake stand from? it'd be perfect for when i need to display my cupcakes 🙂
Being a fabulous Mom and role model to my daughter makes me feel vibrant!
Blogs, Pinterest and southern magazines. Love classic and elegant! Great post girl!
This is adorable, but yes, it's just those fun little elements that make a world of difference!
My moods, those of my children and my environment inspire me! Some days I feel bright and sunny so wear more dramatic colors and others I feel tired so tend to wear more pastel shades. Of course when the sun is shining I find myself wearing much more vibrant shades as well.

What inspires me is the outdoors. I like to backpack and may come across odd rocks or pieces of wood, feathers, snail shells, etc. that can be used for interior design.
What inspires me is ideas I get online, in magazines and on tv.
Thanks so much.

I find inspiration in nature. The colors and the textures, and the changes of the seasons.
My 4 year old. She just exudes vibrancy and inspires it in me!
I'm more vibrant because I've lost weight and finally am able to wear all the clothes I liked and got (and wore) years ago!

On the weekend I like to go to yard sales and find something like an old hat or vest and add it to my wardrobe.
Pinterest never fails to give some inspiration when i need it 🙂
my children and thrift stores inspire me
I get inspiration from blogs, home decor magazines :)))
Inspiration is everywhere. I loved an old quilt my mother had made so I found similar fabric and made one for myself. That was my inspiration to redo my bedroom.
