weekend wishes....

 

Wow What a week!  We are off to another busy weekend too.. Vegas here we come.

A few little things to keep you going this weekend..

I picked up this cute little dress for my presentation this week.. I heart it!

New York is gorgeous in the snow - although I am a little glad I am here in California sunshine.

We added bunches of new art to the shop - have you been by lately?

Paris is calling- how can I ignore it?

have a wonderful weekend!

greige dining room..

Happy Monday morning my friends.  This dining room completely took my breath away.  Simple, great texture in the rug, perfect windows and that bench... Love at first sight!

For more of this beautiful house...

darkest black walls

 

I am completely in love with this snippit of a space.  The dark doors as a devider are super fun - we could totally do that - love the lights// love the chairs.

Happy Friday my friends...

Dramatic dining..

 

I love the simple drama of this space.  The blank chalk board makes such a contrast from what we might normally see when they are used in decor.  The chairs and the chandelier are by far my favorite part of the otherwise simple space.

Mix it up...

 

I adore these two dining rooms for their great sense of style.. so fun to mix it up don't you think.  I am not really a traditional person and I think that being able to use things that you truly love in this way is what makes a house a home.  Keeping it interesting is the point right?

making a list...

 

As my birthday and the holidays inch closer I always feel the need to asses what I have done this year.  There are so many things I want to accomplish and share that I don't seem to get to.  There are also so many things that I have done this past year and I am thankful that I have been able to share many of them with you my lovely readers.  I have been thinking that I need to compile a list (I have tried it before) of things I would like to accomplish for the year not a resolution list but a list of dreams and ideas to be realized and developed.  Do you have list?  Is it written or mental?  I will admit I love lists, I am a list maker, I have been all my life.  I love to write them out to get my ideas straight and my focus in the right place.  

Aside from that I thought you might like a little dining room inspiration to get you kick started for the upcoming entertaining whirlwind we are all about to embark on.  Isn't this beautiful and simple?

Interior photography...

 

I think that among us there is a deep appreciation for quality artistic interior photography.  Even if we don't realize it the photography and often times the photographer are what make these spaces show in the best possible light.  It does take great styling and design I know that, but without the art of the photograph it is so hard to show it to the world, short of touring each and every space in person.

I love that a photo can capture light and depth in a space so beautifully.  So thank you to all of those interior photographers out there who make things oh so beautiful!

Art is up

 

Over the weekend I installed the new art pieces in my dining room and I adore them!  Sometimes I wonder why I wait so long to make a decision, it only took me 6 months to decided that these were what I wanted.  I should have purchased them the first time I saw them.  

Are you an impulse buyer?  or do you take a long time to make decisions?

For me it depends on the piece...  but usually when I see something I want I know if it is going to work...

(I just got an iphone which I absolutely love..this is an Instagram pic)

workspace

This space seems so easy on the eyes simple and clean where you could just open up the laptop and get some things done.  It is nothing like my desk that is covered in papers and misc little things that my kids have made and given to me. 

I love the finish on the table and the key is the fresh flowers I think!
