Headboard

Here comes the board…here comes the board. (singing the wedding song) In my daughters room. I found a Hancock Fabrics when we were in Houston so I figured I would take a chance on some fabric. I bought two colors, used one..and not so sure that its the one, but its working.

the new look





vogue nippon/vogue russia/vogue uk/harper's bazaar

it's everywhere!
i think it's fun to take some of those pieces and make it your own.
wearing this look as a whole is just too much for me right now!

chic + easy



stockholmstreetstyle + jak&jil

been really into this look for some time. great combination.

SAD SAD SAD

Here is the view from my bed. I am tired of looking at this. I refuse to put another blue up on the wall. I know what I want…he knows what he wants. But is it on the wall? I have Martha Stewart Paint on the wall. Benjamin Moore Paint on the wall. Glidden Paint on the wall, and of course Behr Paint on the wall. But who is the fairest of the all?

I decided to go ahead and put these samples up so that I would be forced to paint. But I just don't know what I will paint, and its driving me nutto.

  DSC_0700  DSC_0699  This came in yesterday and is now up on the wall. I am wondering. Its the Newburg Green again. Isn't this color just sexy?

Bigger is Better

Finally I found a bigger mirror for the living room. Homegoods had this puppy for $130 which was a great price. I could not believe it was still there.

LOVEEEEEEEE these boots!!!!!

Blue + Green= Beautiful

Howdy Folks. My vaca is over and things are getting back to normal around the fort. Except for luggage that is sitting around UNPACKED. We visited Michigan, and yes I took about 20 magazines, and three books. All of which I DID NOT TOUCH. My son asked me why do I keep taking them on our trips, and I never read them. My intentions were good though. I did get to visit Homegoods in Utica which was a horrible experience. From RUDE ASSOCIATES, to RUDE ASSOCIATES. So I left with nothing from them because I refused to spend my money with such bad service. But overall the MI was pretty good to us. I just hate I missed out on beautiful CANADA across the way.

Every since the day I saw the preview catalog from West Elm, I knew that I loved this color and had to have it. I am not sure where it will end up in my home, but it will end up somewhere. I love the richness of the blue, but with very subtle tones of green. In my opinion this color can be taken into fall with dark wood tones, and transitioned in spring with cool colored accessories, and accent furniture. Well done West Elm for highlighting this great color by Benjamin Moore.

The possibilities are endless with this beautiful color.

I am going to run this color by hubby and see what he thinks of this in our bedroom. I really didn’t want to go this dark in the bedroom, but I am in love with this color. Stay tuned for photos of my new dilemma.

Thoughts?
