[reasons to love}

Just in case you are confused pls. let me clarify...I LOVE this space and here are the reasons:

The molding with the dots are so cool.
The panel of antiqued mirrors is fabulous.

The color palette is amazing.

The little silhouettes on the mini lamp shades in the office are darling.

The mix of classic with contemporary is lovely.

The art is awesome.

To the inspiration file all of you pretty images will a go.

Hope you are having a happy day!

I had a whole other post prepared but I had to go with the above because this is how the day feels today....dark but comfy and cozy.  A great day to have a fireplace in the kitchen while sipping chamomile tea.  A girl can dream.  I think there is so much interest in such a simple/humble looking space. What do you think about all of those glass bottle/containers?  I think I need to be on the hunt for my own collection.  I sure love in when great designers update their websites...like Steve Gambrel....one of the greats!

UPDATE:  It seems to be clearing up already.  Perhaps it is going to be a perfect treasure hunting day instead.  Still trying to decide if I am going to bring the below cabinet home.  You likey?

Is this what life has come to..

As I walked out the door @ 9:30 this morning trying to race the girls to preschool I thought to myself, "I sure hope I do not see any living creature, not even a cat".  That's when I looked up to see not just one visitor but two.  One of them being a man friend of husbands and the other a girlfriend who had brought me over some shampoo and conditioner after I complained of not washing my hair for 5 days because I ran out & had not been to the store...Yep, you read that right...5 days.

I'm pretty sure by not combing hair paired with pink polka dot pajama pants and purple suede wedges is the new IT....it's just got to be.   Hey at least I found the black shades from the 90's.

Anyway I attribute all of the above to being busy (or something like that) but come back this afternoon for the link to the Etsy shop because I posted a few things until I got tired.

In the meantime I'm feeling pretty good about the following images:

What are you feeling good about?

She feels good about vitamins in the morning and popcorn in the afternoon.  Good stuff!
