why wouldn't you....it's the weekend!that print needs to live in my house....and that wallpaper too....
shop like a blogger....
you would think since i have had this blog for a little over two and a half years, i would be a little more computer savvy....not so much!! just ask averill! who was sweet enough to ask me to do a guest post on her beautiful blog odi et amo. luckily, after about ten emails, i figured out how to send her my post. so if you are interested in how i shop, head on over......*thanks again averill for all of your help and patience :)
*heart*
i love this quote....it's often easy to get distracted by the the obstacles that surround us but when i read this, i kind of feel like i could be a super hero and conquer the world...watch out :)many, many thanks
for being such a wonderful support system. it seems like these days my life consists mostly of pregnancy issues vs. beautiful design stories....but to be able to have people understand where i am coming from is a huge sigh of relief. i can't thank y'all enough, really. i passed my second round of tests so no gestational diabetes here. does that mean i can get that pound cake out of the freezer now?? i'm a hoarder...
it's official...i am a hoarder. not in the sense of dirty garbage taking over my house...but rather, i'm a hoarder of ideas, fabrics, and pictures. i hold onto them forever, contemplating what i am going to do with them (drives my husband batty). this addiction applies only to my own house and decorating it. i finally made a decision for taylor's room. i am using quadrille's paradise background. done, no take backs!! now, i just need to decide how i am going to use it. she has two twin beds in her room. i am thinking bed canopies.....and i kind of want to tackle it as a diy project (have any of y'all tried this). so as a confessed hoarder, here is my collection of bed canopies.....i am leaning towards pic #1. *images courtesy of ruthie sommers, pieter estersohn, palmer weiss, katie ridder, tom scheerer, house to home, mmr interiors, my fabric
FAILED.
i failed a test. it's not the first time it's happened in my life...i use to have my fair share of fun in college, i'm sure i didn't study for a pop quiz or something. it really shouldn't come as a surprise- i failed the same test 3 yrs ago. but it still sucks none the less. b/c to retake the test you have to drink 3 big bottles of the sweetest, thickest, syrup like concoctions known to man....in three hours after fasting for a night. i think i would almost prefer a piece of paper w/ a big fat F written across it.... 
yesterday, warren and i looked at each other at 6:00 and said "let's just go to bed and start this day over".....sometimes days just don't go exactly as planned. so today i am starting off w/ this quote...{update} apparently this magical quote works.....my fairy godfather (aka the fed ex man) has rung my doorbell twice this AM: once he delivered a basket full of bath beauties and once w/ a pound cake. this day is already much better :)
there are many reasons.....
why i love being a girl.....* images courtesy of la belle vie/frou frou fashionista, caitlin wilson design, , little french nest, dwell studio blog, seen and said
peaceful....
after getting zero sleep last night, these images seem simply perfect to me right now. i can't get enough of the first image- perfection.hope you have a peaceful weekend...
how to get inspired....
i love the intensity of this color and the details that make each of these pictures stand out in my mind: the striking awning that could be interpreted into a window treatment, the simple band of trim that really makes the upholstery and draperies pop, the double mirrors that replace a wall mounted one, the graphic small-scale wallpaper that expands a narrow space, the detail of the headboard that accentuates the classic fabric, and the unique monogram found on the bed shams....all of these details are worth taking note of.please excuse me....
while i put on this necklace and then take an afternoon ride on this amazing beach cruiser....i always feel it's important to match your accessories with your bike :)
not your little girl's pink....
although it might not appeal to everyone's palette, i think the color pink is fantastic. in fact, if taken seriously, it can completely transform a room into well..... perfection.*images courtesy of kelly green interiors, little green notebooks, ruthie sommers (2 images), sally steponkus, shop gramercy
