TEACH ME YOUR PATHS – Psalm 25: 4-5

Typography by Brighton Keller The sermon at First Presbyterian Church, Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Sunday completely captivated me. Believe it or not, our pastor, Garret Dawson, made a brilliant connection between today’s society and the one described in The Hunger Games. I haven’t read the book, but even so, I felt like the comparison was both relevant and thought-provoking. Garret commenced by illustrating the immense success and popularity that this story…

Typography Tuesday: quotes about JOY

Typography by Brighton Keller // handwritten quote via In my opinion and experience, being a joyful person is a decision. I think you have to make a conscious effort to remember what you have, be appreciative and grateful for everything, and try to  always look on the bright side. It is our decision whether or not we let that little annoyance ruin our morning/day. It helps to look at the big picture…

Happy List

My family and I (sans Stevie, since he is headed to the British Virgin Islands – so jealous!) head back home today. It’s so fun getting to travel with them like we used to do when we all lived at home. It makes traveling so much better when you’re with people you love/like to be around. Lately I’ve been thinking about the little things. The random little parts of my…

Stevie’s Graduation

This weekend, my brother, Stevie, is graduating from Woodberry Forest (an all boys prep/boarding school in Virginia). I couldn’t be more proud of him! Unlike most boys who go to boarding school (or at least those in the south), my brother actually begged my parents to let him go!  Rather than it being some kind of threat to motivate good behavior haha. Woodberry’s campus pretty much looks like a college.…

Typography Tuesday: Big Love

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 Sometimes these posts take me longer that I expected. Today is one of those days. I’d love it if I had time to write a little, but unfortunately I’ve got to run! I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday! …and that these quotes inspire you in some positive way.  xoxo, B

Mirrored Touches

So… I’ve decided that mirrored furniture is a definite must for my place. I told you about how I want to have a neutral color-palette  a few weeks ago, and I think that one or two mirrored pieces would add some much-needed glam! I’m thinking maybe a bed-side table or vanity set up? I’m not sure….I’ll have to do some more research (i.e. shopping…) I hope everyone had a great…

Expectations

I hope you all have had a great start to your week! I spent the entire day yesterday studying and will do the same for today. I have my commercial law exam tonight – wish me luck! :) I made the typography today. This quote by Shakespeare is one of my absolute favorites because it is SO true. Being aware of (and having a good handle on) our expectations of…

Typography Tuesday: A Vintage Poster

all posters available for purchase at A Vintage Poster So yesterday, as I was procrastinating before I started studying, I came across a fun, new artist that I wanted to share with you all. I was browsing interior design blogs, when I saw A Vintage Poster’s adorable logo on Caitlin Wilson Design blog and just had to click on it and see what “a vintage poster” was all about.  So now you see…

Friendship Bracelets

So lately, I’ve been loving friendship bracelets, especially when they are stacked with bunches of colors and different designs. I’ve been on the lookout for some great ones, but have only been able to find ones that are $40-$100, and I’m not interested in spending that much on a tiny little bracelet. Especially when the “look” I’m wanting requires several of these little things. Anyway, so I was thrilled to…

Dee’s Details: A New Series

I want to announce a new little mini series on BrightonTheDay spotlighting my mom’s talent as an interior designer. She thinks of the move innovative and creative ideas and decorates with such attention to detail. I think you will definitely appreciate getting to see different details around the latest house that she decorated (and where my parents still live today). Each post will highlight a different detail (or two)  around the…

A Growing Interest

I’ve never been one to be very “into” interior decorating/furniture/rugs/etc., but lately I’ve been loving it more and more. I guess I was just always too busy with school, studying, and other things to care about decorating or other (in my opinion) “grown-up” things.  It didn’t matter to me (meaning, I didn’t appreciate it) because it didn’t apply to me….if that makes sense?  In college, I moved every year and…

Tangerine Coordination

These two pretty pictures caught my eye, and I just had to share them with you. I absolutely LOVE how Kristina and Chiara coordinated their lipstick with their shoes. Aside form minor details, the major “pop” of color in these outfits consists of their matching lips & shoes. How ingenius! I think I’ll have to try this….but I might have to add a matching bangle or something to feel a little more…

QUOTE: instructions for living a life

As my workload escalates, I don’t think I’ll be able to provide as many typographic images each Tuesday. Despite what you may think (that picking out pretty poster/images is easy!), it actually is one of the most time-consuming posts I do each week. It takes me forever to find the images I want to feature, and then even longer when I decide to make them myself. On top of that, I…

Obsession: Love Quote Scarves

Blue | Hot Pink | Yellow | Rose Pink | Coral | Pistacchio Lately I have been LOVING these scarfs! They are so easy to throw on and can make any outfit look chic and put together. I used to be confused by the concept of wearing a scarf in the spring/summer, but I’ve recently gotten over that and would now consider myself an avid-scarf-wearer (even in warm weather)! I…
