i thought i would share a little collection of dining room chairs that i have saved for inspiration. i am still searching for the perfect chairs for my dining room table (that currently resides in our garage...how sad).
i love this picture of shannon fricke's foyer at her farm house (that wallpaper and cane bench are amazing). it was just published for the australian magazine insideout. shannon traded in her red carpet heels for life on the farm...and from what i can see, life looks pretty good! 
don't get me wrong, generally i am a color kind of girl but lately i have been drawn to a soothing color palette and these neutral spaces are making me swoon..
if you are going to have sit somewhere for eight hours a day, do yourself a favor- make it pretty....
i adore the creativity you can put into a child's room...it's without restrictions, it's slightly dreamy, and it allows you to once again be a child at heart. have a wonderful weekend w/ the ones you love...
i think it's safe to say i'm obsessed w/funky light fixtures. i love it when people are creative with lighting...using vintage fixtures can really define a space and placing lights that aren't "typically' suppose to be in a certain spot really gets me excited. here are perfect examples of lights that make me super happy and slightly envious....
i had never heard of blue star before last week, when i became engrossed in reading a blog about a 257 yr old house renovation by a girl named katy elliot. i grew up in a 100+ yr old house that was constantly being renovated and so the pictures bring back major memories of my parents tackling our house (secretly, i think i would love to do the same).
today it is a miracle if you are one of the few who haven't been hit by some form of a recession. wallets are a little tighter and our minds are geared to think "do we really need that".....design is definitely taking a backseat but good design doesn't have to come with a huge price tag. if you find yourself in love with a wallpaper that is a little more than you would like to spend, don't disregard it but rather become creative with the space you use it...think backgrounds of cabinets, armories, closets, and bookshelves or tiny entryways and halls...
i have been MIA!! so this weekend we are venturing out to take taylor to see scary clowns, elephants, and dancing bears; wish us luck....hope y'all have a great weekend...promise to be back to normal next week. thanks so much to everyone who sent me luv- right back at you :)!!
the kitchen is the heart of a home...the spot i greet my husband everyday when he gets home from work, it's the office when i am trying to talk to a "potential" new client and i don't want them to hear my daughter screaming in her room, it's where barron hunts for food that might have been thrown overboard by a little someone, it's our favorite place in town to grab a glass of wine or beer, and of course- it's a karaoke bar/dance floor when no one is looking.....
i have definitely spotted a trend in the "art" of hanging pictures...it's no longer just a single picture on a wall or a small grouping of pictures...it's all about self expression and the more the better....there is no system to it; it's simply you and your hammer and whatever feels right...
