green with envy.





lately i can't help but be drawn to kelly green....i love it! if you are looking for an accent color, this is a great one to consider. i am trying to figure out how i can bring it into my house. i would love that X stool to magically appear here....happy monday.




let's chat:
man, i love that sheer roman shade...so simple yet it looks amazing and how pretty is it w/ the light shining through....making a mental note in my head of this: great custom window treatment/ doesn't break the bank.
*time out* taylor just woke up crying/ coughing (she needed water, went back to sleep)
i think that hand that palm readers use is awesome. corky yet cool...every house needs a sense of humor.
hello jewelry box: please enter my house while i am sleeping....i promise i won't be mad. i can even tell you where our spare key is.
mary, mary, mary- that wallpaper, those lacquer lamp shades.....how i love the (and leontine linens, that's a given).
thanks for the chat...off to eat a halloween cookie....want one?





you probably don't need me to remind you that it's halloween....i need some inspiration, i am running low on fuel. not a single decoration is up (i find it hard to decorate when you are selling your house), taylor is sick for the 2nd time this month, and i barely slept a wink last night. on the plus side, my XL pumpkin coffee this AM was the bomb....

a color that POPS.






sorry i have been mia...i went home for a house warming party for my brother. it was a blast and hopefully i can share pictures of his place soon. he lives in a cabin that my dad built and they just completed an addition (a bathroom and a laundry room...a must in any home). in addition to the party, i was able to get together with my BFF's for a night on the town (it's a rarity to all be together and no one be pregnant, so we took advantage). and i made a super quick trip to atlanta to help a friend w/ her house...she moved into her husband's "bachelor pad" (think GA bulldogs everywhere) when they got married and a year and half later, there is still very little of her stuff moved in....she loves turquoise and we used that as an inspiration when we shopped. so that is what i have been doing...now off to catch up, i have tons of stuff to do. happy tues!!

the beauty of imperfection.




maybe its the juxtaposition of what's going on- the things placed together that really shouldn't be there.....they just equal perfection in my book. the white dress w/ the rain boots, that elegant kitchen w/ stainless steel cabinets (might be my favorite kitchen), the old medicine cabinet with the addition of jadeite pulls, and that screen- well, it's just amazing. period. they all make a space seem perfectly imperfect. and that's the way i like it.

the power of pink.





october is the month to raise awareness. a year ago i thought i found a lump...so did the the doctor. thankfully, it was not cancer. have you been checked lately? if not, you should.
on a lighter note- we got a new alarm clock...warren tested it out this AM by waking up extremely early. maybe the early bird does catch the worm...at least that is what he told me when he walked out of the door.

friday, friday.





don't you love that it is actually feeling like fall now! well, at least for the morning hours. which means here in the south, you can actually wear jeans and not die when you walk outside! i hope y'all have a wonderful weekend....off to clean, again....

yard sales and discounts stores....





so if you don't go to yard sales, you are just missing out. now i am not going to lie and say i totally love going. and if you had been with us last weekend when we went, i would have sworn that i would never go back. but, you have to take the good w/ the bad- and when it is bad, it's REAL bad (last week happen to fall in this category). but i am constantly reminded why it is good. for example, this awesome Pottery Barn puppet theater/ lemonade stand. this is something i would have never bought for full price but when GiGi spied it at a yard sale, it was a must have... especially w/ the price tag of $10. i cannot tell you how much fun taylor and my mom have had putting on puppet shows....which brings me to my next subject: discount stores. we all go to TJ and Marshalls but when was the last time you went to Big Lots (i have no idea the last time i was there)...but my parents were wasting time while their dog was getting groomed and stopped in. and guess who they ran into....Martha. now do you think martha stewart is dying knowing that her line is now at a discount store? well, they scored these adorable puppets for $2. i happen to be on the phone w/ mom while she was there and i asked if they had the tissue pom poms and they did....again $2. i want to put them over taylor's bed (a quick, inexpensive way to add something interesting to her room). so think yard sales and discount stores the next time your child is bored....you just never know what you are going to score!!
*oh and i couldn't help but include a pic of taylor playing at the computer last night....notice anything missing...her mullet! i got her haircut for the first time last week...major improvement :)

carefree...



these pictures make me want to be a kid again! i love the yellow thrown in there w/ pink...
speaking of kids- please keep your fingers crossed that mine doesn't get kicked out of school today....i have so much i need to do!! have a fabulous tuesday.
