i still remember it like it was yesterday...

the first domino cover with ruthie sommers....the graphic divid hicks la fiorentina fabric from lee jofa on that camel back sofa is something i will never forget....and to this day, i still adore the print....here's a collection that instantly puts a smile on my face :) and if it puts a smile on yours then you might be interested in this....

a picture recap....

so our weekend could not have been anymore fun! taylor is always timid at the beginning of trying new things but by the time she had been to a house or two, she started liking the idea of getting candy. she would say "one piece for me and i need one more for my daddy". what a sweet girl- good thing she likes to share ;) hope your halloween was equally as fun!

trick or treat

hope your halloween is filled with lots of spooky fun! taylor is lucky enough to get to go trick or treating with all of her grandparents. i can't wait to see what she thinks about halloween...this is the first year she will really understand what is going on! i am also excited about eating her candy :)

three beautiful girls....

i thought it would be fun to take each of these girls and create their bedrooms....girlie with a vintage flair, rock and roll trendsetter, and dainty with a love for nature.

in case you didn't know...

i am a HUGE fan of graphic wallpaper. in fact, i think every house i live in should have at least one wallpapered room....

on another note, i have a big/exciting week ahead of me....can't wait to share :)

good morning.

i'd love to walk down those stairs, plop on that amazing settee (only i don't know if barron could sit on it- he'd take up the entire thing), and wait for an incredible breakfast to appear in that beautiful kitchen....hey, remember i'm a dreamer......

i have been told this a time or two....and i kind of like that about myself. so are you a realist or a dreamer?

green with envy.

lately i can't help but be drawn to kelly green....i love it! if you are looking for an accent color, this is a great one to consider. i am trying to figure out how i can bring it into my house. i would love that X stool to magically appear here....happy monday.

let's chat:

man, i love that sheer roman shade...so simple yet it looks amazing and how pretty is it w/ the light shining through....making a mental note in my head of this: great custom window treatment/ doesn't break the bank.

*time out* taylor just woke up crying/ coughing (she needed water, went back to sleep)

i think that hand that palm readers use is awesome. corky yet cool...every house needs a sense of humor.

hello jewelry box: please enter my house while i am sleeping....i promise i won't be mad. i can even tell you where our spare key is.

mary, mary, mary- that wallpaper, those lacquer lamp shades.....how i love the (and leontine linens, that's a given).

thanks for the chat...off to eat a halloween cookie....want one?
