Kate Spade Inspired DIY

2012-01-26T08:00:00.001-06:00

My latest DIY project comes straight from the wonderfulness that is Pinterest. After spying this lovely Kate Spade inspired canvas, I knew I had to make one of my own for our soon-to-be baby boy's nursery.

I am happy to report that this project is rather simple and quick to complete.

Materials Needed:

1) Canvas {you decide the size}:

2) Gold Scrapbook Paper:

3) 2" Circle Punch:

4) Adhesive {I chose to use a hot glue gun to avoid fumes}

Process:

To achieve the Kate Spade inspired look above, first take your 2" circle cut-outs and place them randomly on your canvas. You can decide how many circles you wish to incorporate. Being random is not as easy as it looks!

Once you have decided on a layout, glue the cut-outs to the canvas. Next, lay the canvas flat to dry and then hang in the perfect spot of your choice.

Our version is waiting patiently in our crib to be hung up as the rest of the nursery decor comes together!

If you are not a fan of gold, you could always use a plethora of other color options. The possibilities are endless! The nursery is coming together and I am super excited to share some updates with you guys soon.

P.S. I hit the 30 week mark this week and am officially freaking out.

Still Addicted To Chevron

2012-01-12T08:00:00.000-06:00

So it seems as if I can't keep from buying chevron printed items. Just when I thought I was so over it, Target comes out with some things that I felt like I had to have. You know the drill, right?

The other day my mom texted me an image of all these chevron storage bins and I immediately thought how great the large lidded one would look in the nursery.

She picked up the only one she saw and this weekend I picked up two more. They look great in the little dude's custom closet. : )

Next up I found these dishtowels. I always need something nice for when people are over to dry their hands in the bathroom and these fit the bill beautifully.

One of my students had a great pair of folders in class and of course, I had to go and get those too. Why I need folders is beyond me...we'll just say since I'm a teacher it makes sense. : )

Of course I didn't stop there...I saw this gold and cream chevron pillow online and found it at my local Target. It's pretty in person, a bit more champagne than gold, and for right now it's home is in our master bedroom on our new bench. I thought about using it on the glider in the nursery...who knows where its permanent home will be.

I didn't need any of these fun little finds but what's the fun in needing everything you buy? : )

Happy Monday, everybody. I hope you guys had a great weekend. We got a lot of stuff completed in the baby's room. David and I are so thankful to our families; Dan came up twice this weekend to install the new closet doors, paint the dresser/changing table, and paint the changing pad tray that he built. He's the best and David and I appreciate it more than we could ever express. We got to celebrate David's 30th at IHOP {his choice} and we snuck in some shopping, too. Our weather has been unseasonably warm and I am not complaining, it's helping to keep me motivated!

Today our craigslist search takes us to Rochester, New York. Let's get to it.

Excited for 2012 + New Stuff For Sale!

2012-01-02T08:00:00.000-06:00

Found on Pinterest // Can be purchased from Etsy

That onesie pretty much says it all. In just {give or take} three short months David and I will be responsible for another human life. Holy cow. We say it everyday how crazy it is and now it's getting real....very real. Thanks so much to everyone who chimed in on my registry help request. You guys took time out of your days to help us out and we appreciate it so much. ¡¡Muchas Gracias!!

This year has so much in store for us and we are busting at the seams with anticipation, fear, excitement, and joy! I hope you guys are ready for 2012 as much as we are.

To start this year off right, David and I donated 11 boxes and bags of stuff to the Goodwill on Saturday. We, ok I, have collected so much stuff that we just simply don't have room for once the little dude makes his appearance. It felt glorious to drop those items off and I hope someone gets some joy out of something I used to as well.

I also added some items to the "For Sale" page of the blog if you're interested. I'll be adding stuff here and there as I get around to it.

So tell me...what are your big plans for twenty-twelve? : )

xoxo

p.s. All you St. Louis readers...I can be found here later today, too!

Sweet Deal + Registry Help

2011-12-29T07:15:00.000-06:00

Hey guys! Happy Thursday. Today I've got my big glucose test and I am hoping to pass. I've heard some pretty awful stories about the stuff they make you drink, but that's ok. I'm happy to get to do it. : )

Yesterday David and his dad painted the nursery, installed some custom closet shelving, and put the crib together. It's getting very real and just a little bit scary. Baby boy is coming in a few short months whether we're ready or not.

The other day while shopping at Home Goods, David and I found this adorable white giraffe lamp for only $30! It's the perfect addition to our whimsical nursery and we couldn't be more pleased to have purchased it.

We scored quite the deal since the Jonathan Adler version retails for nearly $400.

I can't wait for the room to come together so I have something to share with all of you.

Oh, and this weekend David and I are planning to register. We're a little overwhelmed and could use any tips, tricks, or advice on baby items that you've loved or hated. We're all ears.

Have a very happy new year!!

Simple Things

2011-12-28T08:00:00.000-06:00

I hardly ever buy fresh flowers but for some reason I did the other day. For a whole bundle I think I paid around $10. I divided them up into three separate small groupings and I love the way they add a little something extra around these parts.

On another note, I was attempting to send out photo Christmas cards this year but I could never find a picture that seemed appropriate or clear enough to my liking. This one from Thanksgiving almost fit the bill but it just wasn't as crisp as I would've liked. Maybe next year!

Oh, and this week since we're off of school, David and I are making some strides in the baby's room! Today David and his dad are going to paint the room and then hopefully we will lay out the rug and put together the crib. I am so very excited!

I'm currently in my 26th week and keep on growing. Here's a cell phone pic from Christmas day--hope you guys all had a very happy holiday.

Baby Boy Nursery Plan {So Excited!}

2011-12-22T07:35:00.000-06:00

Since finding out the baby was a boy I have been getting some ideas in my head for his nursery. It all came together pretty simply and I had no idea where it would take me. I guess the main inspiration for the room is my beloved CB2 Ferris Wheel that I picked up in Chicago this past summer. I had always wanted to put it in the guestroom but it really serves as the perfect inspiration for our baby's room.

I don't know about you, but something about ferris wheels makes me smile and think of carefree fun in the summertime. I immediately was drawn to incorporating a bit of whimsy into this little guy's room and Dave likes to tell everyone that the theme is "whimsical." I am so not a theme person but he caught me off guard one day when he asked me how I was going to decorate. Of course the words, "the theme is whimsical" left my mouth and I haven't been able to live that down since. Most people are taken aback when I tell them I really have no direction--no surprise there. My rooms are always quite the eclectic mix.

Throughout these past few weeks we have been so blessed by family and friends who have gifted us major portions of the little dude's room.

So far my sweet brother and sister-in- law have bought us the crib, my father-in-law is building special custom shelving for the closet, and my mom, step-dad, and grandparents are pitching in tofor the glider. David and I are eternally grateful that our baby boy is already loved so much. Besides all of the big ticket items, baby boy has already received numerous items from my dear friends, too. It makes me an emotional sap to think of how much I adore my family and friends and how blessed we are in this life.

So without further ado, here's my mood board for our baby boy's nursery!

It took me a couple hours to create because I had to teach myself how to remove the background from images and all that jazzy stuff in Photoshop. I should've wrote it all down, or at the least saved the links because I had a blast making this room come together and I'd love to be able to make more mood boards for people. : )

Since it was my first dabble in mood boards I'm sure I could learn a thing or two, but overall I'm pretty pleased. This is the direction I'm headed in and can't wait for it all to come to life.

So far we have:

-crib
-rug
-navy velvet drapes
-glider {ordered}
-'You Are My Sunshine' print
-vintage dresser {waiting to be painted}

Still need:

-overhead light
-hot air balloon mobile
-other prints to fill the wall
-paint {for room and dresser}
-flag bunting
-crib bedding {I'm leaning towards simple polka dot sheets and a DIY bed skirt}

Over Christmas break we plan to make some headway so be expecting some IRL photos soon. Thanks for letting me share his room with all of you.

25 Weeks Today

2011-12-20T08:00:00.000-06:00

Since announcing our pregnancy on the blog I've neglected to share some pictures with you guys. We hit the 25 week mark today and I seem to be ever-expanding. This pregnancy has been quite the journey and I can't wait to meet our little guy at the end. I think my bladder shrinks daily--I've never seen the bathroom so much in my life. Hope that wasn't too much information! ; )

My sweet husband takes weekly, if not every 2 weeks (we sometimes forget), photos of yours truly so that we'll have something to remember this time by. My little sweetie, Niko, seems to make an appearance in every shot. I ♥ that dog.

I've got nursery plans all ready to go and I can't wait to share them with you guys! Hope everyone is enjoying this last week before Christmastime.

{Inspired} DIY Christmas Decor

2011-12-13T08:00:00.001-06:00

The other day I was perusing my some of the blogrolls of my favorite blogs when I landed on Hi Sugarplum! Cassie's got great style and a seemingly stellar personality.

I've been in a little bit of a DIY dryspell but Ms. Cassie pulled me right out of it! Her post on DIY Tie Dye ornaments made my almost-6 month pregnant self head out to Michael's to pick up all of the necessary supplies.

It probably helped that her tree was decorated in pink and so is mine. : )

The only supplies you need are some glass ornaments and paint color of your choice. I stayed in the pink family to complement our already pink, silver, and white tree.

I scored the ornaments on sale at Michael's for $3 bucks I think. I can't recall the cost of all three paints but I do know I have enough left over to make possibly one or two more ornaments.

I'm sure there could be a method to the madness for this DIY project but I just squirted some paint into the ornament and rolled it around until the whole inside was covered.

Once they were all finished I hung them on the tree immediately. I'm definitely pleased with the way they turned out.

Scoutie Bear was less than impressed and was only concerned with waiting for her daddy to get back from the store. She's obsessed with that husband of mine.

Got any DIY decor? As always, I'd love to see it!

Christmas Decorations

2011-12-01T08:00:00.000-06:00

I love decorating for Christmas. I wasn't always the biggest fan of lugging what seemed like thousands of boxes up from my mom's basement when I was kid to decorate all day long, but now that I have my own home it's a little different. I do love the holidays and enjoy putting my own decorations up. Last year I finally ordered my dream white Christmas tree and changed to pink, silver, white, and gold goodies. It's perfectly girly and I appreciate Dave's tolerance. I've said it many times before, but he truly is the best there is.

For awhile now, David and I have made a little tradition of watching Elf while we decorate the tree. I adore that movie and can't watch the whole thing without crying like a baby. I just love Buddy the Elf!

I don't go quite as Christmas-crazy as my mom does but I can finally admit to loving to decorate!
: )

Here are a couple of shots from this year's get-up.

Have you decorated yet? I'd love to see it! Post a link and consider me a guest in your home.

Another Master Bedroom Update

2011-11-29T08:00:00.001-06:00

I know you guys are probably sick of my never-ending master bedroom additions. Each week it seems like I'm adding this and/or that. There are still a couple of things I need to do and share with all of you so I hope you'll stay tuned.

Ever since I decided to makeover the master bedroom {for the third or fourth time...it's a sickness I tell ya} I've wanted a Greek key throw for the end of the bed.

I saw one here and most recently at Furbish, but I wasn't sold on the over $100 price tag.

Even more recently I found another option that I loved but still couldn't bite the bullet and fork over $135 for the blanket.

Both throws are beautiful and so perfect for our space, but with two doggies that sleep with us I just could not justify the cost.

Enter this past weekend, I was shopping on Saturday during my family's annual all-day shopping extravaganza and found a perfect throw that mimics the feeling of the pricier version above.

I saw it at TJ Maxx and immediately scooped it up. I thank my mom for carrying it around for me since I've been put on doctor's orders to take it easy and discontinue carrying pretty much anything.

The throw is more of a quilt and only set me back $40! Hooray for a good deal. I almost feel like Sabrina Soto from The High-Low Project. {P.S. I've really been feeling her show lately!}

I'm really happy with the way it looks in our bedroom and I can't wait to make the other minor updates and blog about them very soon.

Thanks for stopping by today. : )

2011-11-22T08:00:00.003-06:00

This weekend was wonderful! David and I got to see some friends that we don't see enough and that was just what we needed. Friday day + night exhausted me but the 12 hours of sleep I received made it better.

Saturday we we caught up with one of my dearest friends, Anna, at lunch at Steak N' Shake and then we did a little shopping at Target. We ventured to the little boy clothing section and picked up some digs for our baby boy. What a trip--it's still very surreal.

I also picked up this cute Kate Spade-esque bag for my school stuff.

Dave makes fun of me because I get a new school bag every year but I just can't seem to find the one. They're either too slouchy, too big, or something else that doesn't work for me. This was only $15 or so and I figured it couldn't hurt to try yet another option. I'm listing my former green school bag in the "for sale" {UPDATE--> It's been sold!} section of the blog if you're interested.

Saturday afternoon we stopped by our sister and brother-in-law's home and while Em and I chatted, Dave helped Tim and Dan replace some siding. We then rounded out the evening with a family dinner.

On Sunday I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and stayed awake...yikes. Where'd the old Joi go? I had energy nearly the entire day and Dave and I spent it completing errands and doing odds and ends.

I'm excited because today is my last day of school and then I'm off until next Monday. I'm very ready to put up our Christmas tree and get this holiday season a-movin'!

DIY: Bolster Pillow Cover

2011-11-17T08:00:00.001-06:00

Our master bedroom makeover has been slow moving. Usually I like to get things done pretty quickly but this has taken longer than expected. I caught you guys up to speed last week with the bedding additions and today it gets even better.

Since summertime I've had this Old Navy sarong to use as a bolster pillow cover.

I finally got my mom to come up and sew it for me and she knocked it out of the park. I am lucky to have a brand-spanking new sewing machine compliments of my grandparents and was happy for my mom to break it in.

I'm not very math-minded so sewing from scratch, without a pattern, makes my brain hurt a little.

Thankfully my mom is great at that sort of thing and I got a bolster pillow cover in under two hours. Booya!

I had to buy some thread and bobbins to get us started and the rest was a go!

The sarong was a little see-through so my mom sewed an old white sheet remnant to the back to make it less transparent.

Following these basic instructions, my mom whipped up the pillow cover in no time.

Here's the final product sitting pretty on our bed. In a few days or so I've got some more updates to the master bedroom. Can't wait to share the updates.

Wanna see the other pillows my mom has sewn for me? Check out these and these!

Thanks, Mom. ♥

So yesterday I mentioned that David and I got to do a little shopping on our Friday off of school this past week. We hit up a handful of stores and I ran across some things for our little guy on the way. Dave's taken to calling him "little dude" and the name has stuck. The Big Lebowski may or may not have had a lot of influence on this nickname choice. Only my husband...

Anyhoo, we first made a stop at Bed Bath and Beyond and I score this pillow for $4! I really like it and envision it on the future glider. For $4 it's no biggie if it doesn't work in the long run.

It was on the clearance rack plus I used my 20% off coupon. And, p.s. just a little FYI...our BB&B takes as many coupons as you have items plus they never expire even if they have an expiration date on them. Good to know.

We then hit up Burlington Coat Factory and I scored the little dude a pair of adorable moccasin booties.

Who knows if he'll ever wear them in the right season but I just couldn't pass them up.

We also made stops at TJ Maxx and Hobby Lobby where I scored some fabulous pink and leopard print wrapping paper. I am really ready for Christmastime this year! I also saw a couple things that I thought you guys might like.

First is this set of keys. They are the exact ones that I bought in Spain a couple of years ago and framed in my bedroom.

Next up I spotted this pretty large stencil for around $15! If I had room somewhere in this tiny house of ours this may be something I'd try.

On Saturday David cleared out the baby's room, I had a long overdue lunch with a great group of ladies, and we celebrated my in-laws 32nd wedding anniversary with a great dinner.

(My cellphone used to take pretty decent pics until Dave dropped it in a sink full of water--whoops! It doesn't help that this room is tiny and it was nighttime, too. )

I was so thankful to my brother in law and father in law for helping David move a dresser from our master bedroom to the garage and help find the source of a leak in our car. We're blessed to have such handy and loving people in our lives.

On Sunday my grandparents and mom came up to meet us for lunch and my mom rocked her sewing skills to make me the bolster pillow I have been talking about for months {here and here}. Here's the Old Navy sarong that we used as fabric. Pics to come soon!

She did a great job and I am so thankful. Thanks, mom. Love you! xoxo

And I couldn't leave out one of my sweeties...Scoutie bear did what she does best all weekend by lounging around in the sun.

Did you have a great weekend?

Master Bedroom Update

2011-11-08T08:00:00.003-06:00

The master bedroom is coming right along. We got our new duvet cover from West Elm a few weeks ago along with our Euro shams and white matelasse standard shams. We had the same duvet years ago in an off-white and really liked it. We like it even more now because inserting the actual duvet is a lot easier. Our down comforter has little loops on all four corner and the cover has ties on all four corners which allows the comforter to not move around at all! It's a nice detail that makes the task of inserting the comforter into the cover a trillion times easier! : )

The only thing I really need to do now is sew the long bolster pillow cover to go in front of the shams. Considering I'm not a sewer, this might take awhile. My mom's been too sick to help but when she gets better, she's my go-to lady!

We may also add a TV back into the bedroom along with a couple of x benches. However, there are a lot of other things on our to-do/to-buy list with a little guy on the way. : )

Decorating our house is a never-ending journey, but I really like it that way. : )

So...

2011-11-02T07:30:00.002-05:00

The reason for my absence around these parts is pretty simple...

David and I are having a baby! Can you believe it?

And....

I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and our little guy's arrival is slated for April 3rd, 2012. So far this pregnancy has been quite the journey and I am finally starting to feel like myself again. With all-day sickness, nausea, exhaustion, and some spotting scares---this has truly been an experience of a lifetime and I'm only a little ways in! : )

I had not planned on skipping out on blogging but my energy just was non-existent. I promise to do better and get back to DIY and decor. This blog's always been about our "sweet life" so baby updates will be many. I hope you understand.

On Halloween we shared the news with our families and caught their reaction on video.

First up...we polled the audience on their gender guesses:

Second...we caught their reactions to our baby BOY reveal:

We're so lucky to have a family that is so excited for Baby Svezia's arrival. Thanks for hanging in there with us. Love you guys and all of your concerned emails and tweets about my little blogging hiatus. It was for good reason!

Missoni, Friends, and Babies!

2011-10-04T08:00:00.001-05:00

This is going to be a random post 'cause that's all I am lately...a little here and there and everywhere.

First up is my Missoni for Target experience. I'll tell you what, for once it seemed like I wasn't in to the latest trend. I mean, I didn't even hit Target until a week after the launch. I know, weird right? When I did finally show up I didn't expect to like anything if items were still available.

However, these cute pumps caught my eye and when I tried them on I liked them even more. My favorite part is the chunky wooden heel. Something about them makes me love them. Guess I couldn't resist!

As you may have read in yesterday's post, Dave and I were so excited to see one of my dearest friends from college along with her great husband and adorable 4 month old baby boy.

We were lucky enough to catch dinner with them on Friday night and have them as guests at our house, too. Saturday was no exception as we hit up a local pizza place and icecream joint plus we managed to squeeze in some antiquing. I laughed so much that my face hurt. It was the perfect weekend!

Cori and Brian are first time parents and they seem like naturals. I loved getting to see them interact with their sweet baby and I am so happy to see how everyone's lives have evolved and multiplied. We are blessed people to have each other in our lives.

Niko and Scout were super curious of baby Ethan and could not figure him out. They only wanted to sniff him and try and lick him. They weren't fans of his cooing because I think they thought he was in some sort of pain. I hope they're just as protective when Dave and I have kiddos around. On Saturday morning Dave and I both held Ethan--which was practically the first time Dave and I ever held a baby. We're not too skilled in that area! ; )

Dave was enamored with this little guy and it melted my heart.

I'm pretty fond of him as well. After all, I think he's the cutest baby boy on the block.

Two back-to-back posts...too good to be true? : )

Hasta luego, amigos.

Pillow Pleasers

2011-09-20T08:00:00.001-05:00

While in Kohl's the other day looking for a possible down comforter and pillow inserts, I ran across a couple decorative pillows that I was really digging. The first find is from the Jennifer Lopez collection.

Dave mentioned that he thinks it's funny when celebrities have fashion lines in places they would never shop. I think it's sometimes odd, too. But whatever makes them their cash money is fine and dandy with me.

I thought the prices of her collection were quite spendy, but knowing Kohl's, they will be continually heavily discounted to make you think you're getting a deal. Sneaky sneaky.

JLo has Greek key Euro shams that I'm also a fan of as well. The other pillow that I liked was this lumbar pillow from the Sonoma line. It was embroidered and really pretty. I was drawn to the geometric Southwestern vibe and neutral colors.

I've loved this bow pillow from Etsy seller Iviemade for what seems like forever. That mustard yellow color is so yummy to me.

I have no place for it in my home, but maybe some of you do!

Another fun pillow option comes straight from PB Teen. This little lumbar pillow sports a fun color scheme and would look divine in my living room but I am resisting.

I'm a bigger fan of the cooler toned option in the back, but both are quite lovely. : )

So tell me...have you all been lusting over any fun pillows lately? If so, do share.

Good morning, friends! I hope you had a relaxing and fun weekend. Dave and I took it easy this weekend and enjoyed the rainy weather that had us watching 3 movies! Those of you that really know me are probably shocked by this revelation because I am so not the movie type of girl. I enjoyed Something Borrowed {which was ok, but nothing I was obsessed with}, Limitless {which I really enjoyed because it moved very fast}, and Last Night {which was a thoughtful drama and I loved!}. Have you seen any of these? I may watch even more movies this week--who knows. : )

Master Bedroom Bed + Bedding Plans

2011-09-13T08:00:00.000-05:00

So we got our bed a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I have been sleeping so much better lately because of the attached headboard. I no longer lose my pillows nor do I have to constantly rearrange myself throughout the night.

We still have yet to purchase/sew all of the new bedding components but I thought I'd at least share with you guys what we have so far.

As you can tell, all that's on the bed when I took the pics was the mattress pad {oh, and Scoutie Bear's octopus toy which she is obsessed with} because David was doing the laundry. We still have the Target pintuck bedding {which I love} but it's got a couple holes in it from Scoutie Bear trying to paw her way to get comfy at night. And, I also took the old rug from the office and layered it on top of our other rug. I like the look a lot and am pleased so far. : )

My plans for the new bedding are pretty simple.

1. / 2. / 3.

Since I still love the pintuck bedding I am going to buy the original version in white from West Elm. I love the cheaper Target version but I really want a down feather duvet again. Those things are heavenly and I've missed ours since the switch.

Second I purchased some navy Euro shams to go in the back with intentions of layering the next row with two standard matelasse pillows from Pottery Barn.

My final touch will be a bolster pillow that will have a custom sewn cover {a sarong found at Old Navy} done by yours truly and my mom {thanks, mom!} sometime soon.

I hope it all comes together like I see it in my head. You know how that goes. When things get going I will be sure to share. Thanks for waiting on me, friends.

They Say It's My Birthday...

2011-09-02T08:00:00.002-05:00

Well hey there strangers. I abandoned you again this week. I know, I said I wouldn't do it and I did. Dang. I think about the blog every single day and still read as many of my favs that I can fit into 25 minutes during my lunch hour. I'm a busy little bee but I have not completely fallen off the earth just yet. My comeback is just around the corner...haha.

Today is my 29th birthday, can you believe it? I have a feeling 29 is going to be a great year.
Yes ma'am and sir.

via

To say I'm starting the last year of my twenties feels so surreal. I feel like I'm exactly where I thought I would be 10 years ago and that's a pretty fun thing to realize. I'm a pretty predictable person and that's a-ok with me.

Some random updates {since that's all I seem to be good for lately} are coming at you right now...

Last weekend we got to puppy-sit this little furball. His name is Isaac and he's our lovable puppy nephew.

By the end of the weekend Scoutie Bear kinda-sorta liked him. She's a tough critic I tell ya.

Just a little side-note, Scoutie Bear is obsessed with that octopus toy you see in the pic. She takes it to bed, outside, and all around the house with her. She gets frantic if she misplaces it and loves it like her baby. She is one funny pup. Dave recently taught her how to play fetch with it and now she's also obsessed with that. She'll sit and bark at us until we throw it over and over and well, over again!

The other day I purchased a great watercolor on Etsy from Lona de Anna. She Australian and I only had to wait a short little while for the print to arrive at my doorstep.

I framed it using a standard Target frame and it's waiting to be hung in our office. Pictures to come someday! I am digging the saturated colors that will fit perfectly into our small office space.

And lastly, our bed finally came and I love it, but as you can probably guess, I haven't had the ideal light to take pics. I'm hoping to snap some this week and post them next week.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

xoxo

Happy Monday, everybody! I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend and that those of you on the east coast braved Irene with no problems! The storm coverage had me tuned in all weekend. Dave and I had a low-key weekend; we puppy sat our nephew Isaac and didn't want to leave him alone for too long. He has a history of chewing on stuff and pawing on the door. He was our little buddy and Niko and Scout finally started liking him...a little. My time at home let me get a lot of cleaning done that I had been putting off for way too long.

Today our search takes us to Oklahoma for the good stuff. Let's see what she's got.

It's Friday!

2011-08-26T08:00:00.000-05:00

Wahoo! It's the weekend....almost. I know I said I'd be better at blogging soon, but I promise it's coming. I'm finally feeling like I'm in a routine so more posts are in the line-up. I am really enjoying my classes this year, and so far, my students have been great kiddos. As many teachers know, this early stage is the "honeymoon phase" so things could always change. I'm staying positive though because I believe they'll continue to be great and impress me. : )

This Friday I'm leaving you guys with images that make my heart smile. I seriously have some of the best people in my life. One of my best friends, Cori, sent me this adorable card and sugar skull image for my birthday.

She saw it on my pinterest months ago and bought it for me. When I opened it I almost cried. What a thoughtful gift. Who doesn't love a surprise gift in the mail from a dear friend? Definitely one of the highlights of my week.

This past weekend my mom and I treated Maw Maw to her very first hour long massage and pedicure for her birthday. She absolutely loved it and that made me so happy. Maw Maw deserves the best and I'm glad she got to feel completely pampered.

While Maw Maw was getting the special treatment my mom and I took a trip to Target. I spotted these faux bois over-sized pillows and almost made a pair of them mine.

I was thinking I could use them on our new bed. Ultimately I left them there because they just weren't fluffy enough for me. Maybe they'd be better suited to a sofa set-up. I think they're a great accent choice!

And finally, I snapped this picture of Scoutie Bear waiting for her Daddy to get home. She sits on the couch the entire evening until he walks in the door. To say she is obsessed with David is an understatement.

I am so glad we rescued this sweet pup. We fall more and more in love with her everyday!

That's it for me. Have a fabulous little weekend, friends.

I'm Slacking

2011-08-17T08:00:00.000-05:00

Hey guys! I hope you haven't abandoned me. I have put off blogging for a couple days and it felt good and bad. I loved coming home from school, relaxing with my sweet husband, and catching up on my TV shows BUT I also missed reading and commenting on my favorite blogs and writing my own.

Things have slowed down around here in regards to decorating and school starting but I'm hoping to become inspired soon. Ever get in that funk? Hopefully when our bed arrives I will become rejuvenated.

A couple of fun things that I did the past couple of days...

1) I went to the Taylor Swift concert with my mom! We had great, wonderful, awesome seats and Taylor was so entertaining. She appears so humble and grateful and I think that is so endearing about her. She's right there up near Britney status for me! I never thought another lady would take that spot but Tay Tay is getting close.

I snapped a pretty crappy cell phone pic and it looks pretty bad but at least you can see we were there! Has anyone else got to see her "Speak Now" tour? If you can, I totally recommend it!

2) I started my 8th year of teaching. Say wha???? I can't believe it either; I'm considered a veteran teacher. Weird. I'm as ready as I'll ever be for this school year and I have a feeling it is going to be an exciting one! : ) I get to see those bright eyed kiddos on Thursday and I'm hoping for a great class roster.

3) It may not be a big deal to anyone but I made biscuits and gravy last night for maybe the second time in my life. It's one of my favorite foods and my maw maw is the master biscuits and gravy maker. She taught me well, but I've got a looooong way to go. It did take me two attempts to get it right last night...that gravy is so tricky!

Let me just apologize for the camera phone quality. David dropped my phone in the sink last night and we thought it bit the dust, but magically and thankfully, it's working in its own special way--haha.

So that's it for me. How are you?

When I get a chance I'll crank out some craigslist posts. Promise.

I'm Ready For Our New Bed

2011-08-12T08:00:00.000-05:00

Pretty direct and to the point blog title, huh? I think I told you guys a couple of weeks ago that we ordered a new custom upholstered bed.

It is very similar to the ever-so-popular Crate and Barrel Colette bed and I can't wait til our version arrives in 5 or so weeks!

Our bedroom is undergoing a slow metamorphosis, which is unlike me, since I like getting stuff done pretty fast. I appreciate anyone that has the patience and foresight to take their time designing rooms. I am starting to learn that skill, I think!

Once the bed gets here I am going to change our bedding. I have never been afraid of styling pillows but lately I have been stuck. I don't know what new bedding I want and I couldn't think of a pillow set-up that I was in love with.

Well, enter this recent edition of House Beautiful:

As I was perusing this little favorite of mine an advertisement for Oly jumped out at me.

The bed above has exactly the feel I want for our new bed. The pillow set-up is perfection to me. I am now currently on the hunt for fabrics/or bedding that I love to make/have the euro shams and standard shams.

I already have a bolster pillow waiting to have its cover sewn from this unexpected fabric find from an Old Navy sarong.

So those are the most recent decor thoughts in my mind. Things have slowed down just a little on our homefront, but just as soon as I think that, something gets me inspired again!

Have a happy weekend, friends! I cannot believe it's the final weekend of summer. Thankfully it's going out with a bang on Sunday because me and my mom are going to see Taylor Swift in concert! Woohoo--I'm very excited!

Anyhoo, thanks SO much for all of your sweet anniversary wishes and comments. You guys are the best! We took it pretty easy on our anniversary day and went to my Great Day St. Louis appearance, then went to get my headshot taken for my Stl AT HOME blo g, and rounded out the afternoon with a little shopping & lunch.

The Great Day segment was yet another chance for me to share my love for decorating and Virginia was as sweet as ever.

I Love That Man

2011-08-09T08:00:00.002-05:00

Who's that man? It's easy; that man is my best friend, partner, and loveable husband of 6 years!

I can't believe we've been married for 6 years today and even better we've been together over 11 years. I am so thankful that I'm married to my best friend and that we have a relationship of friendship, love, trust, and laughter. David keeps me grounded, makes me laugh til I have to pee, and supports me with all of my endeavors.

I never would've imagined us, as friends in 7th grade, being the happily married couple we are today. God really does have wonderful surprises in store for you I suppose. : )

If you have time, I'd love for you to check out the slideshow we played at our wedding reception. It's a goodie.

Go us for making it 6 years! I can't wait for what's in store for year number 7!

Las Vegas Loot

2011-08-05T08:00:00.001-05:00

I wish I could say that my loot was lots and lots of dough, but alas, I won a mere $13 and then spent it trying to win more. Oh well! I came back even -steven so all's well that ends well.

What's even better is that I scored lots of fun clothing items and had money left over in my vaca budget. You can bet I was excited, even if it was just a couple of bucks to the positive.

My first score was this pair of banana scented hair products from The Body Shop. I randomly stopped in here to pick up some body scrub {which I forgot to photograph} and fell in love with the banana scent. We used to have a Body Shop in our local mall but it was replaced. I guess not having it made me miss it!

I find it kind of funny that I came home with four pairs of shoes. I had all along planned on buying the Tory Burch flats, but the others were random finds. The black wedges were on sale for $14.99 from Target, the super fun glitter flats were from Payless, and the Vans were from the Vans' store. I had been meaning on purchasing the Vans online for sometime but never did. When I saw a specialized Vans store, I knew I had to have my new kicks!

While we were at the Fashion Show mall I spent a large amount of time in the ginormous Forever 21. I tried on what seemed like a bazillion items but only came home with this southwestern inspired t-shirt and this pastel sheer top.

On the day we went to Hoover Dam we also stopped by a TJ Maxx and a Fashion Bug. What I find so stinking cute is that Maw Maw and I bought the same shirts. She's one cute chick. I tried to get her to wear hers on the same day as me but she wasn't game. Oh well! ; )

I wore this little number just the other day going out to eat with two of my most favorite ladies in all the world. I paired it with a leopard belt and I really liked it. I'm branching out, folks!

I also picked up this cute striped dress! It's one of those items that you think won't fit, but then surprisingly, it does! Woohoo! I think it's so cute!

I actually wore it the other day to work registration at school. It's extra comfortable and I'm glad I spotted it.

While at the Fashion Show mall we stopped in Dillard's and I fell in love with this zippered dress. It's a little more than I'm used to spending, but I loved it. I'm making it my first day of school dress. I wish I could say that I was impressed with the customer service I received in Dillard's but it was way less than sub-par. I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. I mean, hello...it's Dillard's, not Rodeo Drive.

And finally, I scored this bold dress from one of our hotel's boutiques.

It caught my eye on one of the first days but I never tried it on. I really knew I wanted it when I spotted a lady wearing it a few days later. I went back and tried it on {twice to really make sure and loved it}. Thanks to my twitter friends for lending me your opinion when I twitpic'd this!

I know it's kinda crazy but I just really dig it. I think I'm going to wear it on mine and my guy's 6 year anniversary dinner that is just right around the corner. ♥

I am super pleased with my finds and am still glad that these additions didn't put my suitcase over the weight limit. Phew!

We Conquered Vegas

2011-08-02T08:00:00.002-05:00

The ladies of my family, three generations of women, tackled the hot, hot, H-O-T city of Las Vegas.

I feel like I sweated off about 10 pounds with the heat combined with the miles and miles of walking.

I had a fabulous time with my mom and maw maw and we saw SO much. I don't know if I'd ever return; I'm not a big gambler nor do I drink and well those two activities are sort of the main thing. Las Vegas is completely intriguing and impressive and I think once was enough to last my lifetime.

We booked our flight, car, and hotel through Southwest vacations and everything went smoothly. We stayed at the centrally located Mirage Hotel and it was so busy. {I took about 100 or so pics with my cell phone but my mom captured better ones with her DSLR...when she uploads them I will be sure to share!}

Out of all of the hotels we visited I seriously think ours had the most amount of people milling about.

I fell in love with the volcano show at night, visited the frozen yogurt shop located inside twice, and enjoyed dolphin habitat as well.

We did rent a car and used it two days. The other days we walked {A LOT}, took taxis, and the monorail. I would suggest taking a taxi whenever possible. Hotels look so close but really they are miles away. I was sort of prepared to walk a little but not nearly as much as we did. Thankfully I wore comfortable shoes and managed to keep my feet in shape.

On the days when we used the car we visited Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon. Both places were a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Vegas.

A couple of things that I particularly loved were the Bellagio Fountains {oh my word--they are stunning!}, taking a gondola ride, going up the Eiffel Tower and eating at Serendipity 3 and indulging in their famous frrrozen hot chocolate.

We shopped a lot {I'll share my loot in a separate post} and visited lots of the hotel casinos. They are so much bigger than I ever imagined. I don't know why I thought they'd be smaller but I did. I was shocked at how expansive everything was!

It was such a nice girls' trip and I loved getting to spend a solid 6 days with my girls!

This Just In..

2011-07-27T13:05:00.005-05:00

I (David) have just received an urgent phone call from the mastermind of this here blog (Joi). She is asking me to make this very important post. So without further ado...

Joi wants to remind you that she is guest blogging over at Brooklyn Limestone. I personally know nothing about this website, but Joi seems to really enjoy it and since they have asked my wife to guest blog it must be really good and run by very intelligent people. The link to Joi's post is right ............ here. Pay attention to the clever title of the post as it is a play on the way that some people say Joi's name (Joy instead of Joey like a boy or a baby kangaroo).

Here is a screencap (industry term) for the Brooklyn Limestone post.

Go over to Brooklyn Limestone and check it. There is some really cool stuff over there, in addition to Joi's post.

Just A Quick Note

2011-07-26T10:54:00.002-05:00

I've got bad news.... Dave is here at the keyboard which means that your usually scheduled visit to "Decor-Craigslist-Fantastic Land" has been interrupted. This is not my first rodeo when it comes to posting on this blog. You may remember golden oldies such as this or this or this which details our first dating time and who could forget my photoshop skills.

I won't take up to much of your valuable time, but I do want to thank you very much for your valuable time. Being the silent part of the Nuestra Vida Dulce combination I get to sit back and watch all of "this" that has been happening and to my wonderful. I'm not sure if any of this deserves the words "fame" or "notoriety" or "attention" but the tv shows and magazines have been awesome for Joi. She deserves everything she gets, even if she is hesitant to talk about. That is my job! When we go out I am the one that brings up and brags on her. I call myself her hype-man! But this would not happen without all of you, the faithful readers and followers of Nuestra Vida Dulce. When she started this blog it was just a little way to talk about little this and little that. But now this blog has turned into.... well whatever it is. It's as big as the "big" blogs, but to me (and I am biased) it is better than any of those (no offense).

Basically the point is me just thanking you for coming by the blog and all of your support. Joi, Niko, Scout, and I all really appreciate it.

Joi will be back in just a few days to do her thang like we all know and love.

Well, in just a couple of hours my mom, maw maw, and I are to embark on our way out to Las Vegas! The posting might be a little minimal around here until I return...I am trying to get the Mr. to post so we will see if he obliges.

Before I leave I wanted to share with you two great finds I picked up for this trip. And, the lazy me again only has cell phone pics. Don't be mad. You aren't, right? Those cell phone cams are just too darn convenient! : )

First, I picked up this huge makeup bag from TJ Maxx for $8.00! I am using it to carry on some makeup and my brushes just in case! I love the ikat/chevron goodness. Yum.

I also have been meaning to share this find for quite sometime now! I wanted a cross-body bag for Vegas and I did a lot of searching in stores and online for the perfect choice. I came across this vintage Louis Vuitton Saint Cloud bag and I made her mine.

She's the perfect size and will allow me to have my hands free while I'm strolling the strip and doing the tourist thing.

Finally {and this really has nothing to do with Vegas}, I scooped up this random scarf from Old Navy. The pic doesn't show how it has the prettiest gold shimmer to it, but trust me, it does.

I bought this from the sale rack and plan to use it to sew a cover for the bolster pillow that will go on our bed {remember the one I told you we just bought?}. I never expected to find such a pretty fabric at Old Navy of all places! That just goes to show you to always think outside the box. My mom doesn't know it yet, but she's going to be helping me with this little project. I found an easy tutorial that I think we can tackle together here. Thanks in advance, mom!

That's it for me! Have a fabulous weekend and try to stay cool during this crazy heat wave. I've saved all your recs from my Vegas post and hope to do most of the things you guys suggested. Thanks for taking the time to help us out.

P.S. My twitter handle is @joidan82. I plan to be posting a lot of twit pics from the vaca! I'd love to have you as a follower.

P.P.S. I added some fun stuff to the "For Sale" page on the blog! I hope you check it out! : )

I'm At It Again

2011-07-21T08:00:00.001-05:00

I really just can't help myself. I try and try to finish a room and let it be but then I get a new idea and I go to town rearranging things. This time my new ~~victim~~ project was the office.

First, let me just say I love the chevron drapes. Love them. But when I saw this fabric something in me said I needed it and that the chevron drapes had to go. They had their heyday.

I'm not the biggest purple or red fan so me liking this fabric really kind of shocked me. But I went with it! I couldn't stop thinking about it so I knew it was the real deal.

I wasn't totally sold on getting rid of all things chevron in my life so I made sure to buy this chevron rug from Overstock. The quality is pretty thin, but for the price, I'm OK with it.

I also replaced the spray painted chandelier for one that I purchased months ago from a local furniture dealer. It looks like a disco ball and it casts a pretty sweet light on the walls and ceiling. It was less than a $100 bucks so it won't feel bad replacing it down the road.

{A little note: all of these pics are either phone pics or non-edited...just call me lazy!}

I gotta thank my father-in-law and husband for wiring and hanging it for me! Thanks, guys!

Back to the fabric for a bit...I bought quite a bit since I wanted to make 4 panels for both windows. It came in one super long piece so we had to cut it outside. I'm sure people were wondering what we were up to.

After cutting it I hemmed it with the n0-sew iron hem and hung all of the panels close to the ceiling. I bought some ring clips from Target and used the rods that I already had.

While I was at this whole makeover I moved the furniture around, too. I brought the TV in from the bedroom and put the desk across from it. I am really using my laptop at the desk lately with school work and blog work. It makes me be more productive. At least I think it does.

I still have some more plans for the room and of course I'll share them with you all as I go along. You know my home is never quite done. : )

Great Day St. Louis [Office Reveal]

2011-07-19T08:00:00.007-05:00

Since appearing on The Nate Berkus Show {one of the best moments of my life!} I've had the surreal opportunity of appearing regularly on the St. Louis morning show, Great Day St. Louis. It's one of the best experiences of my life that I keep getting to experience. How fun for me!

Virginia Kerr, one of the co-anchors, asked if I would help design her and her producer Dianne's office a couple of months ago. She said it was a site for sore eyes and she was right. Here's a look at camera phone pics of their space:

The office was dark without any natural light, it had exposed plumbing, and cinder block walls. It wasn't a place where Virginia and Dianne felt inspired and I about peed my pants when Virginia asked little ol' me to come up with a design plan.

A couple of stipulations that she gave me were:

1. It had to be done on the cheap; I was giving the ideas & plans but they were carrying them out
2. They would like to DIY as much as possible
3. They wanted a cheery & inspiring place to work

I took their advice and went to town. I scoured the internet and pinterest and came up with a moodboard that I crossed my fingers they would love. I made the moodboard into a powerpoint to share with Virginia and Dianne, but you guys are just seeing some of the slides I had photobucket make into a collage. : )

Here are the videos: "before" and "after". I tried to embed them but it messed up the blog's formatting. Sorry for the extra click!

I am floored at how wonderful the "Live What You Love" art came out. I wanted it to be bold and make a statement and it is definitely my favorite part of their space. I also love that Virginia was able to score the available-for-a short-time-only Urban Outfitter's zig zag rug! I suggested it and she was all for it!

Another favorite of mine was the credenza in Dianne's office that she spruced up and found for free! Woohoo!

I just love these opportunities and I'm happy to share them with all of you, too. Thanks for always being so sweet and supportive. : )

xoxo

Ok friends! I am excited to share that maw maw, my mom, and I are about to embark on a little vaca to Las Vegas!

So tell me...have any of you ever been? If so, what do you recommend? We're pretty much up for anything {within reason! ; ) }

Ready. Set. Go with those recommendations! I'm all ears!

What's Good In Your Hood {Denver}

2011-07-18T08:00:00.001-05:00

Happy Monday to you! We had a great little weekend that involved some shopping, great food, and wonderful company!

On Saturday we headed over to Phillip's Furniture to finally spend my gift certificate that I won for St. Louis Living Space of the Year nearly 9 months ago! I only had three more months until it expired so I made sure to use it all up.

We decided on a new nail head trim bed and I can't wait to get it so I can show you guys! It looks very similar to the ever famous Colette bed so I'm sure you guys can envision it.

While we were there we shopped around and I snapped a couple pics of images I liked. I thought this glider was perfect for a nursery! I loved the piping in a deep blue color. I think it was only $400 or so. That's not bad for a piece you can customize. {And no, I'm not pregnant!}

I really liked these bottles grouped together for this centerpiece {I was not digging the faux flowers, though}. I think it was just white paint in plain bottles and they were selling them for $13 a pop. Way too pricey for something you could easily DIY.

While we were checking out I spied a "design board" on their wall and I spotted a very familiar looking room.

Did you see it? It's our living room. I was taken aback, but also flattered!

While on our way to meet up with our fabulous cousins for dinner and FroYo, we stopped by an antique mall that was waaaaay outta my price range. I snapped a pic of this too beautiful for words chandelier that was nearly $3,000. Sad face for sure. And I thought the Jonathan Adler version was spendy at $750....silly me.

Back to the main business--it's time for our craigslist search in Denver, Colorado today!

2011-07-11T08:00:00.001-05:00

Happy Monday, guys! I am so excited because this marks the last week of summer school {hopefully for the rest of our lives!} for David and me!! Woohoo! I am so ready to be done; but I'm also kind of bummed because that means summer is quickly coming to a close. But, enough of that! I've still got weeks to enjoy! No Debbie-Downer mood for me. I won't have that business.

This weekend David and I celebrated the wedding of my late best friend's brother. It was a swanky event and we both had a good time. I wish Em could've been there and that circumstances were different but it is what it is.

When we got home David and I decided to take a walk {a habit we're trying to make every night} and then we were going to head to bed. Well, if you follow me on twitter you know that did not happen. Five minutes into our walk David and I had to duck under a tree to get out of the road for an oncoming car and while I made it, David didn't duck far enough and a huge tree branch blasted him in the head.

David cried out in pain, I laughed {oops} because I thought he was joking, but we quickly both knew it was more serious. He was bleeding and immediately felt sick. We walked back home and I started cleaning it up; it was not just a scrape but more like a substantial gash. I knew the ER was the place to be. We drove to the ER at 11 p.m. and David got a CT scan to check his brain {it was a-ok!}, and ended up with 3 staples to the head. He was a trooper but boy-oh-boy was he in pain.

We haven't taken a nightly walk since this little incident...but we'll be back! : )

Anyhoo, that's our weekend round-up--let's get to the deal finding in Portland, Oregon!

Super Short Sneak Peek

2011-07-07T08:00:00.000-05:00

I was so excited a couple days ago to come home to my fabric I ordered for the bedroom! I went straight to work cutting it for the frames behind the nightstands. I bought too much so stay tuned for a possible sale of the remnants. I'm always overly cautious about my fabric! Oh, and the frames are cheapie poster ones from Michael's that were on sale + I got to use my teacher discount! The frame cost about $9 and in better lighting, it looks really substantial and like it cost a lot more. Go me!

I took this pic with my phone at midnight last night so bear with me. It's certainly not the best, nor is it truly representative of the colors, but at least you get an idea. I can't wait to share some more updates with you all very soon!

I'm still not totally sold on our current headboard and the nightstand vignette needs a fresh eye. I tell ya, it never ends! Plus, I've got some more mini-makeovers in store for the rest of our bedroom and the office! I might be saying buh-bye to the chevron curtains...

Once summer school gets out of my life I will feel normal again and the projects are going to go to the top of my priority list!

Happy hump day, friends! This holiday week has already thrown me off a little--sorry for the lack of a post yesterday. Yesterday was kind of a whirlwind. We had class in the morning, the awful verdict in the afternoon, and then my fabric cheered me up when I got home! I can't believe I got so upset at that not-guilty verdict. My heart was hurting and my faith in common sense almost went out the window.

But, let's change the subject and get down to business! We're searching out the deals in Louisiana today.

Now I look forward to the fireworks all summer! I hope you guys have a fabulous holiday and keep cool.

Here's a pic I snapped at one of last year's firework displays! I love the star that appeared in the midst. It makes me happy.

Wal-Mart Jeggings

2011-06-28T08:00:00.000-05:00

I don't know if you are even still with me with that blog title. I know those words can be scary for many of us!

I'm not a huge Wal-Mart fan nor am I a jeggings lover, but put the two together and you have magic! I swear. I was casually looking for some athletic shorts the other day{I know, shocker, right?} in Wal-Mart and I happened to brush by a sale rack of jeggings. Something made me check them out and I really don't know why. In case you haven't noticed, I'm clearly not a size 2 and thus I'm not jeggings' #1 fan. However these looked and felt different and the $5 pricetag was practically begging for me to buy a pair. I'm a sucker for a good deal.

I thought, "What's the harm?" and added them to my purchases. When I got home I tried them on and much to my shock and surprise, I actually liked them. And not just a little, but A LOT! It seems as if I'm not alone because if you look closely in the screen capture, the jeggings are rocking a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.

They are extremely comfy and I purchased them in a dark wash so they're semi-flattering. I also made sure that I didn't get them in a size that is soo super tight that I look like I can't breathe. You're welcome for that image.

I posted an unintentional weird angled camera phone image of me the other day at the Mint Julep Jaunt and I was sporting the jeggings {I promise I wasn't trying to be "artsy"--haha!}. It's blurry, but you can kind of get a sense for the jeggings. My favorite part, that you can't see in this pic, is the pocket detailing and faux zipper.

Way to go Wal-Mart. I'll probably take another pair....or two.

Find any unexpected bargain deals lately? Do share!

Flirty Flower Table Setting

2011-06-24T07:30:00.003-05:00

Awhile back I bought an awesome box a fake flowers. I know what you're thinking. Joi's off her rocker; no such thing exists.

Well I am here to tell you I would've thought that too, but they do exist! These faux roses came in a box fashioned as gorgeous jewel -toned potpourri. I had envisioned using them as part of a tablescape but since I had only purchased one box the outcome would've been sort of puny. So my beauties sat in our buffet just waiting for a purpose.

Fast forward to last weekend and during our fun little Mint Julep Jaunt I found another great box of fake flowers.

Yay, me! I'm kicking myself for not buying another box because I think more would've ultimately been better, but such is life.

Inspired by this photo, I decided to make my own flirty flower tablescape with my great fake flowers!

via

I'm not a party thrower nor do I entertain {although I wish I did} so please excuse my less than stellar presentation. I'm a complete novice when it comes to this stuff!

I used some craft paper for the table runner, plain white plates from Macy's + silver rimmed plates from Target, vintage etched drinking glasses, IKEA planters, votive holders from my wedding reception {how nostalgic! ; )} and pink paper napkins for the first look:

I wasn't totally sold on the greenery in the IKEA planters so I switched them out for my tissue paper flowers that I ♥ so much!

I took one final stab at this tablescape thing and took away all of the tall pieces to just focus on the roses. I liked this look a lot, but I'm kicking myself for not buying just one more box of those lovely roses! One more box would've been the icing on the cake. 'Tis true friends.

I really love this little get-up and am wishing I had guests on their way over! Mental note: must make plans for my girls to come over and enjoy my tablescaping ways. So tell me peeps....do you fancy yourself a tablescaper connoisseur? I'd love to see your creations. Send 'em my way, por favor.

Enjoy your weekend, friends! I've got a dinner date with my yas, shopping, homework, doggie sitting, and a family reunion on the agenda. What about you??

Happy To Sad And Back To Happy Again

2011-06-23T08:00:00.000-05:00

Phew...exhausted yet? I went through a range of emotions yesterday. It wasn't the end of the world, but I got really bummed when Dave and I made the trek out to Calico Corners and I found the Vienna Flower fabric. It was too beige, too muted, and too boring. Sad face for sure.

I thought maybe my computer screen had led me astray and almost gave up on finding the fabric, as I thought it only came in two colorways.

When we returned home I couldn't get over how the differences were so strong and went back to researching the fabric. The magazine's colorway was so vibrant and had indigos and purples and the Calico Corner version did not.

I came upon this site and copied and pasted the fabric info and it took me to the actual site where the designer ordered the fabric used in the room.

via

Turns out, my eyes weren't fooling me and neither was my screen. I about jumped up and down for finding it! You can bet that I was convinced I needed it. When you can't get something out of your mind you just know, yaknow? ; )

Plus, I became absolutely entranced in this video of the behind the scenes makeover story. I am in LOVE with it all. I feel like that master bedroom + bathroom is pretty near perfection. Designer Cameron MacNeil hit this one out of the park!!

And, I would just like to say that House and Home knows how to inspire and keep readers interested! Their magazine is beyond fabulous and their website is even more helpful. I am smitten.
