My cousin Kelley is a few months away from giving birth to her second lovely little girl… remember the DIY initial canvas I made? It was for her and she loved it {yay!}. Her shower was last Saturday and I was in charge of flower arrangements and Mimosas while my other cousin, Corey, handled much …
Trying NOT to Visually Decorate our {Possible} New House is REALLY DIFFICULT, especially because that’s all I want to do
We are apparently in phase two of our loan process and in escrow on our house in Lake Arrowhead. Everything is looking good and technically, monetarily speaking, we should have no problems getting this house. However, in this market, with the ever-careful banks, who only a few years back were giving loans to deceased people …

Monday Must Have // Swing Table by Duffy London
At just over $11,000 this amazing Swing Table by Christopher Duffy for British design brand Duffy London doesn’t necessarily qualify as a “must-have” but I’m absolutely obsessed with it anyway and LOVE the concept. They pitch it for the workspace, as a way to make board meetings “fun” {as if}, but I’d prefer it with …
You Don’t Mind if I Just…
Sleep in a little today, do you? I didn’t think so… I’m still sick and it’s been a rough weekend. Actually, last week was a doozy any way you look at it. Which is probably why I got sick. Have a happy Monday and I’ll see you tomorrow 😉 From top: Martha Stewart | Country …
60’s Modern Home in Palm Springs
My love affair with Palm Springs grew exponentially when I stumbled upon this 60’s modern desert home designed originally by William F. Cody and revamped recently by Michael Haverland. The modern 60’s twist on the original house is kind of amazing and the decor, divine. Found originally at Full House Photos via Architectural Digest France, …
Modern Declaration LoVE
I’m sure I found Modern Declaration via Pinterest… although it really could have been via any social media source, but Pinterest is known for the prettiest of images, so I’m just assuming. Daun Curry is the gorgeous and talented designer behind Modern Declaration and I have just fallen in love with her work. Since stumbling …

White on White // My January Mantelscape
I wasn’t quite ready to box up all my pretty floral Christmas tree ornaments just yet, so I found a new home for them on the cow skull above the fireplace… the horns to be exact. The purple and blues actually work really well against the facing dark gray walls of my living room and …
Combing Mongolian Fur Pillows
In the Fall of last year, I purchased two Mongolian Fur pillows for our game room (seen above). *our game room has changed a bit since then And now, just over a year later this is what they look like. Sad. Mangled. Miserable. Angry even. Granted, they are not best quality of Mongolian pillows nor …

Before we get all Christmas-crazy, let’s remember that Thanksgiving is just around the corner! And as much as I want my husband to hang little white lights all over our house, I want to focus for just a few more weeks, on pretty warm colors and well, food. I’ve done a bit of diy Thanksgiving …

Dining Room Need: More Storage
Our Thanksgiving table, 2010 & DIY pop art canvases It has come to my attention that we are in dire need of more kitchen and dining room storage and a proper bar. Yes, maybe it’s because I keep buying dishes and glassware and decanters that I don’t necessarily need but when I find a gem …
