love love love

Oops, hi. Remember me?
I've been busy beyond belief & haven't really been able 
to pull together anything creative worth sharing.
I have however been making some progress on the house (slowly but surely)
and I do very much love Valentine's Day, so I figured it's a great day
to show my love for you. 
(& Pinterest, of course)

Heres just a few little pretties to start your day.
Hope it's a great one :)









xoxo
Happy Valentine's Day
(especially to my handsome valentine.)

I am woman...

...hear me roar
see me covered in paint.

(Thats actually not me or my paint color, but you get the picture)

Todd and I are officially homeowners! 
Conveniently enough, Todd is also the current owner of some sort of stomach flu.
There is more than enough work for the both of us (and our kind helpful parents), 
and being the excited impatient person I am, I'm taking on the bulk of the work this week.

I'll be back next week with some good posts!
I can't wait to share some before & afters with you.

Hope you all are having a good week!

xoxo

Happy Day :)



After what feels like MONTHS of set-backs,
Todd and I are FINALLY closing on our very first home...
TODAY!!!!

I'm sure you've noticed my excitement in the recent interior related posts...
I'm chomping at the bit not only to decorate & nest, but finally have a life with my love 
that doesn't involve 200 miles of travel a weekend.

Anyway, enough with the sappy crap, wheres the pretty?





This website, Moment Junkie, is a place for photographers 
to submit perfect moments caught at weddings.
They range from "sweet" to "saucy" but there are some killer photos in there.
I seriously advise at least a once through.






Casablanca's Before & After featured on YHL
Using. Paint.






Sweetest little Etsy shop.













Beautiful Monogrammed Lucite products.
These would make a perfect engagement or wedding gift
 (cough, cough...that actually means "hint, hint"...that actually means I like kelly green, navy, trellis, H's...)









and whats the weekend without a little gluttony?



Okay folks, next time you see me I will be an OFFICIAL home owner! (man I'm old)
...and probably covered in paint.
 Can't wait to share the makeover process :)

too hot to dot

I'm having a very polka-dot minded morning.
I'm usually a sucker for the stripes, but these guys are totally making my day :)










Recently I've been finding most of my images on Pinterest
I'll follow you :)

Oh, Chestie.

I've always had a knack for the vintage/old school thing, 
and every since Jenny mentioned her recent purchase, I just can't get the
CHESTERFIELD
out of my head.

So masculine, yet still dainty. Whats a girl got to do to get a little Chestie?









Are you tickled by the tufts?

Just a Smidge

Happy Monday :)
Did ya'll have a good one?
Over the weekend I had all sorts of house projects swirling through my head.
I'm really digging bright bold colors, 
but us ladies know how it is to share your domain with a man.
No pink. No neon. No fun.

Pinterest however showed me some subtle ways
to add just a splash of that punch you're looking for and still make a big impact.

Allow me:











Have I mentioned that I'm excited to start decorating?
If not, for the record, I am.

xoxo
