Is there anything lovelier?

Out.

I am heading out of town this weekend to celebrate my best friend's 31st birthday.





Dinner. Shopping. Hotel.


I always sleep so well at hotels. Not sure why.


I will certainly miss my nightly blogging.

However, I will return on Monday refreshed after a stress free weekend.


Happy weekend to you all.

Spoon Me.

The sun is shining.

I've been gardening.

And I have spring on my mind.

This is the year Brad and I get to build our deck. I am so excited for this and naturally, have been planning and fantasizing about said deck for awhile now..



A place to relax.

to find calm after long days end.



To laugh with loved ones.

and to eat.



These seem.. well, necessary.

Gorgeous.

My must have for spring.

Something To Remember.

Via KoKo Studios.

I Adore.

Damask.

I have found that nearly everything I see in damask, I love.

Therefore, I am considering black and white damask bedding for my bedroom.

What do you think? I want the room to be gorgeous, romantic, and not too girly.

Fun.

Naturally, the clutch featured today on Coco + Kelley caught my eye with it's gorgeous green and shiny silver temptations!

I then decided to see what else the creator of this lovely had available and found this.

and i love it.

it's just necessary.

Etsy Love.

{Words Of Wisdom}

I literally gasped when I came acroos this piece of artwork.

It has been purchased and will find a home with my favorite books in my bedroom.

Though it is my favorite, I do adore the art below as well.

{LOVE}

{La Mer}

I think the three above prints would be perfect in a study or office. They also make what I like to call "book shelf art".

Madison. Real {kids} Rooms.

- Every day I fall in love with many gorgeous rooms. Though I am inspired by these rooms, some of the decor elements are simply unattainable because of cost.

This however, does not mean the rooms I work on are less darling at all.

I have decided to start a segment called "real rooms." This will consist of rooms I have worked on. And because these rooms are my work, it is a guarantee that said rooms will be attainable, and most importantly, affordable.

A few images from my daughter's room.

Madison is a free spirit and wild as the ocean waves.

I wanted to capture her personality for her bedroom.

Drapes from Target.

Perhaps my favorite pieces in her room. I bought these mirrors for $1.50 each at a yard sale and simply painted them to match.

I did spend a bit more on her bedding.. However, quality bedding is essential. I love the bed skirt in aqua and green.. Pottery Barn Teen.

At Long Last. Real {Dining} Rooms.

Our Dining Room Is Finish.

Here are a few pictures...

The Black Ribbon.

Black - Elegant. Daring. Sexy. Strong.




Ribbon - Delicate. Feminine. Timeless. Free.




I love both.

I am both.

I would like to introduce you all to my new title-

Black Ribbon Interiors.

Simply Adorable.

Loving this bedroom.
The colors.. the simplicity..

It's almost like stepping back in time.
Can't you just see a curly haired little sweety wearing mary jane's and a button up cardigan climbing up into this cozy little bed to read with her dolly?
Notice the glass door knob?

I love how the beds have been painted a shade darker than the walls. This is a fabulous idea and very easy to do. Though easily painted this type of bed is difficult to find.

A green ribbon has been added to the drapes to carry the color through out the room.

I love the lamp. However, I feel it desperately needs a new shade.
The picture frame seems a tad too large for the table as well.

This is the only image I have of this room but I imagine an armoire and wooden doll house on the opposite side of the room. Maybe even a rocking chair or antique doll bed?

The simple bedding leads me to believe this is perhaps a beach house. Notice the throw pillows?

There are so many things that could be done to this room.. I think what I really love about it must be the wall and bed colors.
