2020 Holiday Favorites!
Pink Pueblo Designs 2020 Holiday Favorites
We've made it to the holiday season of 2020. If anything I know this year has taught me a lot and I will be taking a casual and chill approach to Christmas and gift-giving this year. What matters most is my family and friend's health and happiness this year.
If you do choose to shop this season try and support local smaller businesses this holiday season! Avoid crowds, shop online, shop small and shop early.
Here are my favorite small businesses you can shop online this holiday season. On our gift guide this holiday season is fun home decor and good style finds. You can find something for others this year or treat yo self! Have a safe holiday season and remember to keep it simple and give thoughtfully.
Feliz Modern
Feliz Modern, one of my all time favs! You can find a gift for anybody and of course yourself here. My favorites are their fresh home decor selections and unique Christmas ornaments. Check out the new section on the website, you can see all the new goodies they add daily! Loving this pink geometric pillow cover, rainbow ornament set and RBG linen cocktail napkins this holiday season.
Breakfast Friend
The coolest custom hand-painted purses by artist Bárbara Miñarro. Follow Breakfast friend to keep up with the new releases, upcoming drops, and pop-ups. You can also request a custom order on their website. Colorful, custom unique gift are my favorites, especially purses. This classic black croissant purse speaks to me! Love!
ECB Designs
Handmade small-batch ceramics by Elyse Cano Brown made in her home studio in Helotes, TX. Her collections are inspired by motherhood, family, and teaching. My favorites are the terracotta brush stroke mugs and hand speckled glazed spoon rest . Beautiful handmade pieces for the kitchen!
Nativa WellBeing
Thoughtful, beautifully designed home decor pieces and more. Perfect for any aesthetic. Ashley has an eye for design and now has a shop for her beautiful artisan finds! When you purchase handmade goods from this shop, you are directly supporting a market where the artist and designer can grow and continue their work with pride. We need this gorgeous straw chandelier and handmade copper altar bowl in our casa! The perfect gift is this colorful bright hand embroidered cotton shawl.
Bohemian Dream Airbnb
During our visit to Colorado Springs we stayed in this gorgeous Victorian era Airbnb. The home was built in 1889 and since has been renovated and updated with the cutest Bohemian vibes. This restored Victorian home included new smoked hickory wood floors, high ceilings, large windows and authentic charm throughout. Spacious bathroom, with a relaxing claw foot tub was probably my favorite feature. This Airbnb was chic, with a bohemian style that felt rich and welcoming. We enjoyed coffee on the beautiful deck and enjoyed some much needed Colorado sunshine. This Airbnb gets 5 stars from us, for all the amenities and great design and decor!
We had a wonderful time visiting Colorado Springs. This airbnb truly made our stay very comfortable and memorable. Great shopping, plenty of sun and hiking in beautiful Colorado!

Freakin Bats and Halloween!
Fall is quickly approaching and even the weather in south Texas is feeling like fall! It is my favorite time of the year, from Halloween decor and pumpkin spice everything!
Decorating can be stressful but we are here to help! We like to decorate with a lot of pumpkins and fall decor that can stretch from Halloween to Thanksgiving. This year as I was browsing Pinterest I kept seeing these bat cut-outs! Endless possibilities to hang everywhere! Check out our Fall Pinterest board for fall decorating ideas.
I was about to purchase these bat cut-outs, but then came across a downloadable print out to make my own. This easy option was not only affordable but also quick and easy!
Quick and easy bat decor
What you will need….
Black construction paper $ 1.99 from any craft store
Black jumbo Gauze cloth $10.00 from target
I had a Happy Halloween banner (I believe I got from the Target dollar section a couple of years ago)
Tape, scissors, and a pencil I had in the house.
Trace as many bats as you would like with a pencil ( I traced about 25 bats)
cut out bats
I bent the bat wings to give them a 3-D flying effect
Tape bats wherever you like
All of the materials were under $15! It gave my dining room the perfect spooky Halloween vibe I was wanted. It took me about 30 min. total to trace, cut, and hang!
Don't let seasonal decorating get you stressed. We love to help you decorate using the decor you already have or we can help you shop and source. Check out our styling services on our services page. We would be happy to help!
Happy Fall, friends!

Pantry Organization
After binging the Netflix series Get organized with The Home Edit. Organization mode at our household has been on high! My poor fiance, Dan! To be honest, I am always organizing and rearranging, I can't help it, its just who I am. Since the COVID 19 lockdown home decorating, cleaning and organizing have been more frequent than normal. I live in a condo and have to maximize every space. Luckily our pantry is pretty large. After months of quarantine and increased cooking at home, our pantry was out getting out of hand. It is already small and needs help. Just needed some clean out and organization.
I am saving right now before I allow myself to go to The Container Store and buy all the clear acrylic organizing bins. In the meantime, we are going to be a baller on a budget. A little organizing and clean out with some affordable options I had will get me through until my Container Store shopping spree.
The best way to start is to take everything out! Grab a trash bag and a storage bin. Create 3 piles and sort everything in the pantry by what you want to throw away, donate or keep and put back into pantry.
3 piles
Trash
Donate
Keep
A simple clean out and a few affordable shelving options can increase the space dramatically. Try removing bulky packaging to save space and group items together. Use the amazon shelves for canned goods and glass containers. The Ikea Skubb boxes are $4.99 for a set of 6. I love these for everywhere in the house! These boxes are great for snacks and food groupings. Keep it easy simple with a quick cleanout, and make sure to donate any food you no longer need!
A pantry organization project doesn't have to be expensive! Use what you have or save up like to me to buy numerous amounts of acrylic clear bins, dividers, and storage boxes. Pantry organization and glow up part 2 coming soon!

Welcome to Pink Pueblo Designs!
Welcome to Pink Pueblo Designs!
I am thrilled to help people decorate their spaces and have a place to share tips, and home decor. This is my space to share all things home decor, home organization, and design! Here I will share my edits of my favorite classics, trendy decor, glamorous and affordable home decor options. A nice little eclectic balance is how I would describe my design style. I have always been organized and I like order and a sense of purpose. I thrive when my surroundings are clean and functional. Enneagram 1 here!
I had this idea that you had to spend a lot of money up front to have a beautiful, organized, and well designed home. Over the years and through personal experience, I learned you can create a lovely space just by a little organization, a fresh coat of paint, or the perfect lamp! I'm here to help you make those changes, give you some new fresh ideas, and help with the execution part! It can be small changes that add more function and happiness and all home projects don't have to cost a lot. I believe your daily environments and spaces can help improve your life and be a sanctuary for you to be yourself and tell your story.
I can't wait to help you select a paint color, help project management for a home renovation, or share ideas for a tile backsplash design. Pink Pueblo Designs offer virtual design services, styling services, and project management for home renovations. I offer a free consultation to get to know more about your project!
