sunday funday . . .

what a great sunday . . .

the only thing that would have made it better is a front porch

or a back porch for that matter seeing as we spent ALL DAY outside.

someDAY.

chair obsession

i am obsessed with chairs . . .

ask anyone who knows me.

wingback chairs, that i bought on ebay, and recovered are making there way through every room in the house - they look good anywhere . . .

have some slipper chairs that are in storage awaiting a reinvention . . .

perhaps i will put them in my daughter's room . . . hhhmmmm.

ah . . . spring fever . . . (& spring cleaning)

please rescue from the pain or rather HELL that is spring cleaning . . . i am like a crazy person right now . . . going through every room (albeit our house isn't enormous, so it's manageable) and editing.

perhaps some of my favorite flowers will make the experience all the more tolerable.

i shall treat myself . . .

as should you.

(vintage) pillow talk . . .

i'm in love.

i am not the needlepoint type.

not even close . . .

but august morgan's pillows have me head over heels . . . these aren't your granny's needlepoint pillows, they have a fresh updated vibe.

this austin based company takes vintage needlework and transforms them in to one of a kind pieces . . . or pillows i should say.

they are lovely as is the designer . . .

want your own?

visit www.augustmorgan.com but don't stop there . . . she's constantly updating her inventory so contact her if you are looking for a certain color, aesthetic . . . whatever.

you'll thank me for it.

just because . . .

i just love this by alex papachristidis . . .

it has EVERYTHING . . .

it's colorful . . .

bold . . .

modern . . .

traditional . . .

it's just wonderful.

the chair that keeps on . . .

going and going and going . . .

love them or hate them . . . the saarinen tulip chair (and it's designer imposter) is not for the faint of heart . . . it's a statement and frankly only a select few can authentically pull it off . . . for some it just seems like they are trying too hard . . . and for others it just goes perfectly, so perfectly that the chair wouldn't even get a second look in their home because it's just so "them."

spring fever . . .

the power of one

. . . or two . . .

or three . . .

don't be afraid to mix light fixtures in kitchens . . .

or adding multiples of the same . . .

the results are often great when not thought out!
