HomeGoodies.

I did it again....  Totally crushed it at HomeGoods.


 I wanted this settee, but all I took home was these two.


How adorable for a little girl's bathroom?


Chartreuse.  Say no more.


Side tables galore.


Love the colors in this Suzani chair.


Gorg.


Scooped up these two for my basement.


A little turquoise sparkle.


 I was DYING over this campaign desk.  It was huge.  If I only had room for it.  I hope whoever gets it give it a good home.



I also bought two of these for my basement. Spoiler alert: orange, orange everywhere!


I so wanted to buy this and paint it.  Unfortunately I was out of time, space and money.  Until next time HomeGoods!

Dried Out.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am reaching the end of my rope with winter weather.  I am SO ready for Spring.  Here on the East Coast the air is so dry right now... The first step in combatting the dreaded dry out was to install a humidifier in our furnace.  The second was finding good products to get me through this winter dry spell.

Albert Hadley: Fireworks.

Last year, the design world lost Albert Hadley at the age of 92.  One of my favorite legacies that he left behind is the renowned Fireworks print.  I am working on a few projects and keep coming back to this beauty.  






So perfect.

Fashion Friday: Pumped Up Kicks.


Last week I posted this pic of my kicks on Instagram.  A few readers emailed me and asked where I got them... Nordstrom Rack, sorry.  Here are a few other bight-ass-kicks for you to try:

Back Porch.

Awwww... sookie!  I've been scheming over our back porch y'all and it is going to be GOOD.  I am hoping that I can scrape together the cash to get this project started in the next couple of weeks, but that will be determined after I do my taxes next week. ;/  Grant it, my backyard is a postage stamp.... and has quite a few ahem, challenges... but I am always up for a good challenge.  Here are some pictures to let you know where I am going with this one....

Round Here


I finally got some cabinets for my laundry room.  (Ikea, of course.)


Bought these babies at Marshall's for $4.99.  I also made a lot of progress in the Guest Bedroom...


I hung up some prints from Annie Flynn.



Finally got the bedding sitch squared away.


And will be hanging these ASAP.  Now let's talk about this. 



 E had a Father-Daughter dance last Friday. First and foremost, the fact that I was able to get her out of sweatpants and a tee shirt deserves some serious props.  But how could this possibly be my little baby?     I can't stand it.

Little Havana.

I am in love with the Little Havana wallpaper from Paper Mills.  It's so Matisse-like. All of the colorways are so amazing.  It's hard to choose only one!

Fashion Friday: That's a Wrap.

I am über-excited about finding this site.   Basically you click on any of the scarf-wearing mannequins and it delivers a video of how to tie that particular scarf.  Brilliant!


Here are a few scarves to get you started!
