Favorite Five Friday-Outdoor Spaces

This whole “outdoor space” thing has been on my mind since we have a yard for the first time. The fence has gone up, the patio table out (I got one I featured in a previous Favorite Friday…these posts are like “pre-shopping” for me! heehee), fireplace & benches are set up, but we still have [...]

MeadowLark Giveaway Winner Announced and A Bit of Favorite Friday

I haven’t had a Favorite Friday post in an age, but I thought I would give you a little Favorite Friday today by sharing my never-fail, absolutely-easy, dessert-of-choice for parties I throw. What is it? It seems ridiculous that I by-pass the best pastry shops and go straight to Costco for their chocolate cake. It’s [...]

Stuff I’ve Been GaGa For

Favorite 5 is going to be easy today. I’ve seen several things this week that I’ve been in love with! This first one, Crown Hooks, I saw at a Disney Store. It was sort of an Urban clothing store in Downtown Disney and they were using these hooks on the back wall. I loved them, [...]

The Sofa Post

It’s Favorite Friday, but I couldn’t limit myself to 5 on this one. It’s my sofa post. Yes, sofa’s I love and links to find them:). It’s taken me two weeks to consolidate this post:). I’m a little ga-ga over these sofas, and although I won’t be buying one anytime soon, it’s always good to [...]

Favorite 5 Friday—Centerpieces

This week I’ve been looking for centerpiece ideas for a large event I am planning. That led me to stumble upon the favorite 5 this week. Oddly enough, it wasn’t always always the centerpieces I fell in love with, but the rooms themselves. So my favorite 5 this week is an assortment of pretty rooms [...]

Favorite Friday

I know there hasn’t been a favorite friday for a couple of weeks but I’m making it up today by showing off some really unique things that I love. My friend Aimee showed me an etsy shop this week that is VERY cool and you should take a look at. The shop is by paperedge [...]

It is Favorite Friday, but…

Usually I would be posting my favorite things that I have seen this week, but it’s been such a busy week that I haven’t had a chance to blog or, well, just about do anything! The Collection Team calls have been streaming in (I’ve been so flattered by the entries!). Thank you to everyone has [...]

Favorite 5 Friday

 I received a lot of catalogs this last week. And I always go through all my catalogs at least once (sorry, apartment therapy). It’s sort of a treat for me. I love the photos, layouts, and the INSPIRATION. You can find out exactly what the current trends are in catalogs. For example, in January, Jen and I [...]

Here they are in no particular order: This chandalier is the perfect traditional meets modern. Clean and contemporary but totally glam! I got my first issue of House Beautiful yesterday!

Crate and Barrel Placecard Holders

The UPS truck showed up at our door today and dropped off a Crate and Barrel package. I asked Josh (jokingly) what he bought from Crate and Barrel (he laughed…I don’t think he’s ever ordered anything from there…me on the other hand, well, that’s a different story). So I open the little box and on [...]

Favorite 5 Friday

Hooray! I’m here to report I found last week’s Favorite 5 conundrum! Apparently I was looking under the wrong keywords, because even though I had SEEN these little babies used for holding cards, it was not their original use! It’s called a Flower Frog and it was used primarily for flower arrangement (especially before foam was [...]

It’s a Beautiful Room Day

I have so many plans for this blog…some Photoshop tutorials and projects. Sigh, I’ve just been too busy! I’ve been working on a new design set that has taken me longer to illustrate than I thought. So instead of a stunning Photoshop tutorial, I decided to post a few beautiful rooms today. Mostly because I [...]
