built ins

I'm gathering a little inspiration for built in bookshelves. Personally I adore them and hope to one day have an appropriate place for them. I have a client right now who does. I think they will be the perfect addition for all her storage and focal point needs. Hers would house a TV, have no fireplace and include some closed storage for all the TV components and stuff that goes along with kids! Instead of wall mounting a TV I'm seeing a flat screen on a swivel..for her space, it would work really well-

I'm taking a little inspiration from all of these!


( well that room is just perfect isn't it?! )

Very cool idea to frame a unique window-


This is so close to what I'm actually envisioning-


hello gorgeous details!


Do you have built ins? Any pro's, con's or advice? x

tote

I have always been drawn to carmely butter soft leather, this is no exception. In the back of my mind I'm looking for a fabulous tote to take along with my purse..to see clients, carry files and all that jazz.. we've got a serious contender! The jericho tote-

basics

love leggings. Spring isn't quite here yet so they are still getting alot of wear. Thought I would try J Crews featherknit tunic tee, they say it's cut a bit longer.. which is so necessary :)

paint and linger

I love these stencilled steps, I think the girls would get a kick out of counting as they go. Our stairs to the basement are painted and this would be a great detail.




Love this nook, I could linger for hours with a cup of coffee and my laptop :)

wish I was here

well, I had grande idea's of what I was going to accomplish today. It was a lengthy list, including getting a picture of my new sofa pillow ( little things make me happy ) anyway.. all stayed on the list when Lauren rolled off her bed and we spent the better part of a day sitting in urgent care. My poor munchkin. She fractured her clavicle. Her bed is hardly off the floor..thank god or it may have been worse. When the tylenol is working and she's happy, a 3 year old in a sling is actually pretty darn cute. You can bet I was imagining the above while staring at the same hospital walls for hours.... -

painting doors



I've spent this past winter deciding that I'd love to paint my interior doors. My initial thought is black. Second thought is my parents are going to be at my house this weekend, and well..dad might need a project ;) ( Mom, can you ask dad if he'll paint my doors?! ) Starting just with the main level of course, so that's only a few. Do you think black or something a little subtler? I like subtle, and I like black.

knotted

I love this. That's pretty much my new hair color, gasp* I know big change from the blond, but it's way more natural on me and I love it! ( It's even darker than my profile pic shows! ) Now.. I need great bridesmaid hair and I have this sort of idea in my head, except I don't have that much hair- can you add non permanent extensions for some fullness? hmm..

brighten things up!

Just recently I'm finding myself restless with our house. Maybe it's spring..I don't know. All I know is I'm ready to change things up a bit. On my list is new lighting. If there was no budget you can bet I would choose all circa lighting like shown below.. but since that's not the case, I will be on the lookout for affordable and fabulous lighting, in a shiny chrome finish. So fresh + crisp!
