While they have been popular for a while, I am finding myself drawn to the look of over-dyed rugs.  I am slightly obsessed with finding a yellow one for my foyer……but it is harder than one might think.
Do you like the look?

Style Me Pretty....

With most of the major design decisions done around here, I am slowly but surely working on art and accessories.  If we get some good light over the weekend I’ll share a few new additions, my new living room art is being picked up from the artist today and I’ve had a professional arrange orchids in my big clam shell for the foyer.  Plus, the new pair of lamps for our family room sofa table came in….

What I am lacking is the knick knacks and accessories that make the house feel “done.”  Here are some inspiration images.

I mentioned the other day that I want to use some green in my office (wallpaper).  I’ve never been a huge fan of the color for my own spaces.  However, I find these days that I am really drawn to it.

Pink and Gold Friday....

It was a crazy week around here (when isn’t it?).  First week back to school and kids took a while to adjust back to Central time.  My husband was out of town.  My nanny was out of town.  Work has been busy….and the kids have wanted lots of mommy time.  But it’s Friday and all is good.  Here are some pretty inspiration images in one of my favorite color combinations at the moment, pink/champagne and gold.

I am drawn to these warmer, earthy slightly more traditional spaces today.  Not sure why.  Just because, I guess.

Happy Wednesday.

Beach Living....

Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth there but we were out of town for a week for Spring Break and while I had good intentions of blogging from vacation….I was just too tired to do it.  We spent a week in Newport Beach, CA and I am telling you when it isn’t foggy….I don’t know how there could be a better place to be.  So, beautiful! 

While there we managed to do three days at Disneyland and one at Lego Land which left for two days to explore Newport, Balboa Island, etc.  I have tons of photos (mainly of the kids and their Pop-Pop who joined us for a few days of Disney fun) but haven’t even thought about downloading them from my phone.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share some photos of a Beach Bungalow (I am pretty sure it is in Balboa) designed by Krista Ewart (all images photographed by Victoria Pearson for House Beautiful.)

These images make me wish I had a little beach-side cottage.

The color and casual vibe is speaking to me!

Happy Monday.
