Rug Love

I love a large scale rug. This one makes a statement with out being too distracting or bold. And check out the accessorizing, everything has such nice placement, right?

Around the Christmas Table

I'm drawing inspiration from these beautiful settings as I think about my Christmas table scape. Should I go all red and merry or silver, gold and wintry white? Lots of options to consider -- how are you planning to set your holiday table?

Kitchen Sneak Peek

This is one of my favorite spaces in my house and although it isn't complete yet, I thought I would give you a sneak peek since people have been asking for more pictures.

I call it my casual eating area. It's comfy, cozy and definitely a place to linger. I haven't done window treatments yet, the chair seats will soon have different fabric and the pillows for the settee are almost finished, so there is a stand in at the moment.

My giveaway ends next week, don't forget to take part!

My amazing sister in law brought over this sweet fiddle leaf fig tree for us...I am so thrilled, I've always wanted one!!



Cozy Sweaters

Brrrr, it's getting cold out there. What better time then now to add a {soft, textured, cozy} sweater to your winter collection. These are a few that I could snuggle up in...
