And to all our athletes who didn’t win medals, you made us proud with your awesome efforts to perform your very best :-) Let’s do it again two winters from now in Sochi, Russia!
What was your favourite Olympic moment?
Cute post idea. And your photos are so glam! There's nothing like metallics for putting some serious style into a space!
ReplyDeleteI love your clever link !! I also love those interiors and especially would like to be a dinner guest in those big comfy chairs in the brilliant bronze dining room !!
ReplyDeleteMetallic finish for walls? That is something quite interesting. Especially in silver, bronze and gold combination. An apt post to make during Olympics.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute post Kelly! And a great tribute to the athletes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute idea! Congrats to all the athletes! I'm always just in awe at their bravery :) A guy from Indiana (my home state) barely qualified in Men's Diving and no one was expecting anything from him, and the he won the gold, so that was a pretty sweet moment!
ReplyDeleteLove all your inspirations! Can;t even choose which one is my favorite! The 1st picture from from gold inspiration ...the wallpaper is STUNNING!
ReplyDeleteI agree :-) I think I would have used a crystal chandelier in that room, though.
DeleteKelly
Great salute to our talented and hard-working athletes! And beautiful pics too.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful Olympic moments to choose from including of course the women's soccer games and Rosie's big win. Also love watching Usain and the Jamaican team receive blow everyone away and receive such love and praise.
Sigh... now what are we going to watch?
I love all of the metallic inspirations! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to pick a favorite moment, but Rosie's win was right at the top! Great metallic moments you've shared here, too :-)
