A Painting and a Rug

You know those days when you have the kids all ready for school just in the nick of time and then right before you walk out the door, you remember its picture day and have to completely re-dress/re-style kids and fill out pose forms to be sent with them...ya...I had one of those:)

And since I'm still a day behind because of the holiday, I'm going to keep this post short and sweet.

I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday painting- when the mood strikes as it were...I finished off a piece I've been working on for a while entitled 'Millicent'...and though I didn't plan anything about how she'd look and where she'd go...

...the minute I hung her in the teenager's room (aka #projectgetroomsreadyforkids) alongside my new INCREDIBLE e-carpet gallery (aka an AH-MAAZING online rug store that ships stunning luxury rugs anywhere in the US and Canada....with PS, no duty/brokerage for us Canucks thanks to a Canadian home base:))))))....

...silk rug...

...the stars aligned as it were...

Sooooooo happy.

Now I just need a mattress, some bedding and a few pillows.

A final reveal is coming soon:)))

to & from

I've got to snap something off quickly today- the hubster and I are off to my little's kindergarten observation, which equals pure joy balls of a morning.

Thankfully, I've got just the thing to tie you over until tomorrow...and by just the thing, I mean a heavenly gift guide full of total gorgeousity...hello

to & from {Valentine's Day 2013}...

This issue is so so full of prettiness...since it's just it time for the holiday of love, there's an abundance of sparklies and buckets pink going on up in there, which makes me doubly happy.

The fact that I was also asked to take part, along with so many 'tastemakers', also puts a rather large smile on my face.

My selections look like this...

...and I'm sure you're not at all surprised by what I've put together...girly, black, gold and pink...sort of my mantra;)

Major kisses to Meg and Katie for asking me to be a part of such prezzie love.

Now go shop people...oh and while you've got your credit cards on the ready, don't forget about my little Wink of Pink SALE...a bunch sold yesterday so there's 11 pieces left to pick from- get while the gettin's good as they say.

Loves,

My Own Shiddazle

For some reason I'm noticing that my desire for all things 'more is more' is weaning a bit.

Maybe it's the New Year or bambino on the way or what but I'm craving a little more simplicity in my life/surroundings.

Specifically, I'm lusting after an antique and modern mix, filled with sculptural elements and one of a kind statement pieces, all wrapped up in a black, gold and white bow...maybe a little more masculinity...just a touch...

mix of modern furniture and antique architectural finds

More specifically, I want to build a house.

Like for realz.

I want herringbone floors and crazy moudlings and white walls.

And amazing one of a kind furniture.

I've become keenly aware that one of the dangers of sourcing for other people is the easiness with which you can find sooooo many incredible things that you want for yourself...

Beautiful Pair of Milo Baughman Modern Swivel Chairs for Thayer Coggin Mid Century Lounge

Apparently I have thing for stools and chairs;)

Sadly, I have neither the budget nor the space for any of this...hence me wanting to construct my own palace.

I'm working on that plan.

Stay tuned.

I'm also trying to narrow down this whole nursery business.

And for some reason, like my desire for more white and simplicity in general, I'm thinking my plans for bambino's room are meant to follow the same general bent.

White walls, accented with shades of cream, grey and black.

When focusing on that plan, I stumbled upon these...

Fabulous pair of unique Vintage Egrets Palm Beach Hollywood Regency style lamps on hold.

...which quickly moved my whole 'mad men' esque plan into something softer and more 'natural'.

Trouble is, the lamps are GINORMOUS- I'm talking 41" tall with a shade and as much as I HATE to see them go, I just thing that's too large...here's a mock up with the lamps sitting on the dresser that I'm pretty sure I NEED to go with...it's burled olive people...

As you can see, by the time I plunk them on a console table, they'd look pretty large like...the dresser is 30" and with the 41" lamps, I'd be at almost 6' and with 8' ceilings, maybe just too much?

Yes, no, maybe so?

I'm sad about the potential of not getting these- really, really sad.

I LOATHE saying no to stuff I want.

And speaking of that, I'm trying to narrow down a little sofa perch for the room.

Loving this guy...
