Here I go...

I'm attempting to paint a chalk board wall in my kitchen tomorrow. I'll keep you posted! ;)

{hmmmm now if I could only draw that pig !}

A piece SHOULD speak to you...

While seeking a side table for a client, I came across some fabulous furniture and mirrors at Clayton Gray Home! Why not love every piece you buy for yourself? {or your client?}

Where I'd like to...

Entertain with a holiday party.

This chic room is the perfect blend of classic and contemporary. I love a well edited mix of furniture, lighting and art. I envision this home being used for gatherings not lounging. That gorgeous piano is just waiting for a musician. I've been putting off subscribing to Canadian House and Home {i guess I'm spoiled by the $12 yearly sub. rates in the U.S.} but this magazine would be the perfect replacement for the much-missed Domino. {what a great birthday gift..hint hint..to my relatives}

Paired down Perse..

Every time I leave the sandy Island of Nantucket, I'm ready for a life change. I dream of a casual home, a laid-back lifestyle {think no traffic, no parking meters, no fast food} + and an easy-going but {of course} stylish wardrobe. James Perse's paired down style fits the bill nicely.

Talk to me when I return from N.Y.C. and I'll tell you another story, but for now, I'm content working in my flip-flops and cotton sundresses for the balance of the summer! Happy Monday!

A little R + R

{A Peek at Nantucket}

I've made some time for a little vacation this August. A few days in the country + a few days at the beach! I'm off to Nantucket and have just returned from Vermont - I'll be back on Monday!!! Happy Summer Weather!!

+ a peek at Vermont style!

{ I would love a bank of windows like this in my "dream kitchen" someday.}

Happy Friday - Baubles + Bubbles

Design IS and should be FUN! Add a bubble-inspired fixture to your home!! This top image from Orange would look perfect in my foyer!!

How fun are these??

Pillow cases.. Sometimes a casual, masculine room is just fine with me! A clip from the home of Badgley-Mischka. {pillow cases - Leontine linens}

I just "heart" Leontine Linens don't you? I would have a tough time choosing between all their fabulous options..
