Pillow Crush

So you must already know I have an addiction to chairs and lamps. Well, my addiction furthers to pillows. These have caught my eye as of late...


Gray paired with gold is one of my favorite color combos. Pieces do you know how much I love you?


You may be my newest crush. Neutral with a great graphic pattern.


Hello beautiful. You would make any sofa stand out.


This lovely I won from Head Over Heels. Love Nelya and her blog.


Eddie Ross made these beauties from vintage scarves. I am thinking this is a must do.


Yes, my taste in pillows may be expensive and no I can not really afford all these lovelies, but this one makes it to the list and is affordable!

Considering my life change to simplify all these must stay as crushes. I will admire you all from afar, but do know I love you.

A New Lamp for the New Year


Before we left the beach I took one more look in Tracery to make sure there was not something I so desperately needed/wanted. Well, I came across the Edison Lamp that I have admired for some time. I bought it with no where to actually put it. Officially my lamp addiction has gone completely out of control. I still love it though and I will find a place for it surely. Anyway this leads me to my New Year resolutions of some sorts...

- This year I am going to learn how to cook. I hope well, at least for my husbands sake.
- I am going to put to good use our new spin bike after I get the full go ahead to work out again and no we did not spend that much of ours in case you are wondering.
- I will not buy a new lamp for a whole year, okay maybe 6 months. I must be realistic.
- I will finally do our backsplash in the kitchen.
- To be more cheerful when doing house work. I am hoping my new toy will help.
- As a couple we are going to try to grow our savings account which in turns means less spending. This lady inspires me greatly in this area.
- More one on one dates with the kiddos.
- To live more simply, which I started last year and flopped miserably towards the end of the year. {Which means I may be having sale sometime soon: home goods, children's clothing, my clothing, etc.}

I am sure this list will be added to, but for now this one works.

Tracery Interiors, the Shop

Tracery Interiors Shop and 30A Funn hosted a fun-filled afternoon. We got to decorate party hats for the New Years which made for a perfect afternoon date for Ellie and I.




I had the pleasure of visiting with Bess, the Tracery Interiors blogger, once again. She is absolutely adorable and was gracious enough to allow me to take some photos of the shop. Let me just say that I would be more than happy to have the whole store move into my home.




Recognize this coffee table? It's just as gorgeous in person...


I really wish I learned how to do these from Bess, aren't they fabulous...


Of course I could not walk out of there empty handed so Ellie helped me pick these out...


This very well may be my longest post ever, but there was too much goodness not to share. I hope you all have a wonderful New Years. See you Monday in 2010, so crazy right?

Smitten with Lonny








The second issue of Lonny Magazine came out and it is a knock out. The magazine encompasses a fabulous gift guide, home tours to drool over, fashion, and much much more. What I loved most was seeing Nina Freudenberger shop Haus Interior. The aesthetic airs on the the masculine side and I am smitten with it. I absolutely love the patterned wall and have been wracking my brain on where I could recreate this look. The article is a must a read and starts on page 138.
