Chinoiserie....

my heart tends to flutter when i look at pictures of amazing chinoiserie wallpaper....it's so classic and timeless. i think one of my favorite pics is the one of the nursery- how brilliant is that and so unexpected (i'm sure she won't be a diva). i think that is why my heart skipped a beat when i found this....and if there is any left, i'm totally using her ;)

seriously, i love these images. that kitchen is super high up on my "one day" list. i am loving everything about it...the cabinet color, the marble up the wall....and that wallpapered closet- HELLO beautiful!!

purple....

when i was young i always reached for the same crayon....purple. it's funny how little girls are all geared towards pink and purple. seeing these rooms, makes me want to add that color back into my life...but maybe in a more grown up way like as an accent paired w/ gray.

pop of color....

this chandelier is popping up everywhere....and boy, is she a pretty one to look at! the last one is a DIY project- very creative and looks great in the room!

sorry for the lack of posts last week! i decided to do a random spur of the moment buying trip for the designer's attic. found lots of fun things and was inspired by tons of stuff out there! off to finish my coffee and do some ordering, emailing, and unpacking! happy monday!

my labor day...

consisted of a lot of time spent at the house trying to get two sick kiddos well...thankfully it worked! tay hung out in a toy story tent that took over our sofa, warren and i enjoyed being outside, and walker- well he just chilled...clueless that his sister was blow drying and curling his hair in the meantime. hope you had a wonderful loooong weekend.

i hope....

you enjoy your long weekend...however you plan on spending it ;)

my goal: to get one child over this awful cold and another one to sleep in his crib w/out having a panic attack....should be fun!

comfort zone

i have a comfort zone or maybe bubble that i like to stay in....i always hesitate when something new is placed in front of me. lately i have been testing my comfort zone and trying things that the old shannon would not do. i think about this quote and go for it...b/c after all, what do i have to loose?
