I want to linger here...

Doesn't this space awaken your senses? I adore the burst of color - it puts me in a good mood just imagining being curled up here with morning coffee - or an evening cocktail {or two}.

My house in 20 years - or another lifetime!

 I often look at a space and think "never in a million years" - between, babies, dogs, and life in general it's hard to just decorate a space based on what looks good. It's all about how a household functions and for me personally that means spit up, dirty paws and a constant flow of people in and out. I wouldn't have it any other way, but I think these spaces below {which I drool over} are in my far future or another life time.

 

I write all this while juggling Jake on my lap, with the dogs running wild all around - and let's be honest as sophisticated and elegant as these spaces seem, my true love will always be colorful, casual interiors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Exciting Mention

 

So many days come and go where I miss out on a blog post and I wonder why I blog at all. Mostly, it is a creative {non client restricting!} outlet for me and I really love the community of bloggers and readers, all which keep me going.

 

My blog was mentioned in House Beautiful's Weekly Blog Round up this past week, which really had me flattered and excited! They found my post on wall stencils {here} and seeing my little blog mentioned by not only my favorite design publication, but with other notable bloggers really gives me a push to keep blogging.
