Neglected.

I could not believe my eyes when it said my last post was from April.  Whoops.  Sorry I've been neglecting you.  Here is a photo dump from the last few months...

 

Loving the ticking stripe chair in this little nook...and the plants in baskets and paintings in gold frames...pretty much love it all.

 

Huge windows and cozy blanket?  Yes please.

 

 

Love this art by Michelle Armas.

 

Might have to recreate this...

 

Attractive bathroom storage...you know I love a built-in, even in bathrooms!

 

Love the tiny cakes and sprinkled cover numbers!

A Few More Randoms for You...

 

Love this little tray set up.

 

Love the fabric combo...I would swap the pink stripes for green ones 

 

Ninabelle, saw this stained glass and thought of you.

 

My mom has forbidden pumpkin decorations for the wedding, and I don't want it to look too kitchy/overloaded with Pinterest ideas, but  a chalkboard like this might be ok for the rehearsal dinner.

Stolen from Instragram for my Weekly Menu

 

This pic made me crave fish over risotto.

 

Berry tart inspiration...who wouldn't love to eat this topped with some whip cream?!

Home Decor Inspiration

 

Obsessed with the green curtains.  Would take a similar ottoman in a different color too.

Feeling Blue (When it Comes to Pillows)

 

Recently I've been on the hunt for blue pillows for my bed.  I'm sick of the bright green damask I have in the room now.

 

This pic was the inspiration...a mix of blue and ivory print pillows.

 

Here are a few pillow options I've scouted out to recreate the look at my house. 

 

 I love the idea of a dark mostly navy lumbar pillow like the pillows above and below.

 

Sorry for the iPhone screenshots, they were the best I could do to capture the two pillows below to add to the mix...I think they would work well as shams...maybe one of each so I have a pillow assortment, not a typical 2 euro 2 standard sham look.

Photo Dump

 

Champ, nails, ring, print...all perfection,

I want to have breakfast here.

 



 

Going to make this dessert a lot this summer.  I'm pretty sure its a sheet of sugar cookies, but I think you could also do it with puff pastry.

Home Decor Inspiration

 

Love the dark wall (but I would do it all or nothing, I'm not a fan of accent walls...and I would do black/dark blue paint, not chalkboard paint), warm wood dresser, modern looking crib, the basket under the chair and the side table.

 

This makes me really want a dark blue china cabinet...I could do without the antlers even though I know they're kind of in right not and even though I love brass I'd trade the tree pot for something else (basket or galvanized steel maybe).

 

What a cozy fireplace, I would love to sit and read here.

 

Cute for a teen.  Like the mix of patterns and think you could pick some more sophisticated patterns to recreate an adult version.

 

I think I save every pic of Erika from Urban Grace's house she posts on Instagram.  Love the bamboo shade/curtain combo.

Outfit Inspiration

 

Thinking about tying t-shirts in knots rather than tucking them into skirts this summer.

 

I think I need to get a pair of leopard flats.  They are a total neutral.

 

Recreating this outfit as soon as its acceptable to wear white pants again.

Love this dark distressed dresser.  I might have hunt an old dresser down at one of the local antique stores in town and take my Annie Sloan chalk paint to it to recreate the look!

 

 

Loving black and brass combos, but this frame might be too ornate for my house.

 

 

Stipe with gingham and monogram lumbar pillows.  Yes.

Style Inspiration

 

Loving black on black outfits.

 

Don't think I could pull off this look, but I still love it.

DIY

 

Love this simple necklace.

 

Think I'm going to make some of these filled with rice to use as hand warmers for all my loves.  I bought everything to do it will last year and never got around to actually doing it.

 

Loved this color combo.  I took a pic of a page in a magazine and the colors didn't turn out very true, but its neon pink and turquoise.

Salt dough letter ornaments.  Saved this to do this year and never got around to it...maybe next year.

 

Love the idea of topping a winter cake with a little bit of greenery.  Sounds like the perf excuse to bake a cake this weekend...

Have A Seat.

 

Love the spotted chair, but peach is by far my least fave color so I'd have to find a different accent pillow. 

 

 

Love the fabric used on this chair, it looks so lux.

 

Love everything about this.  Leather setee, pillow, throw blanket, lamp over the art.  Perf.
