Did you happen to know that Kelly Wearstler has a jewelry line? How did I miss that I am not sure of. It does prove that I am not a fashion blogger. The designs are stunning though. Here are a few that are now on my wish list!

Today the Mr and I are off on our 10 year anniversary trip! He has completely planned it and I am just along for the ride. Our first stop is Miami. We are staying a few days at the Viceroy and I could not be more thrilled. He really did pick all the accommodations by what I would like. I think he hopes it will entice me to say in most days. Was that too much? Ha. The hotel was designed by the ever fabulous Kelly Wearstler. Her work is so dramatic and so over the top, but she does it with such style and grace. I am just so excited to enjoy some time with the Mr and rejuvenate our marriage with out having to think of daily tasks at hand {even if I don't really mind those daily tasks}. I am ready for some time in the sun, good food, a good read, and long talks. This trip also is our first that I will be away longer than two nights. Pray for me mama's!
I have quickly learned with this new move we need pieces to be multi functional. Old homes don't come with many closets. The ones we do have are quite tiny. My first "huh" moment came when I realized there was not a spot for towels in either of the tiny baths. This also meant my hair dryer, flat iron, and makeup had no where to go never mind all our lotions, shaving creams, etc. The kids bath was an easy fix. They use the old hutch that was in our old dining room that now serves as a library in their hall. The cabinet beneath is a perfect spot for all their bath needs. In all honestly they use our bath more often than not anyway. It was that way in our old house too. As for the downstairs bath the most logical and only spot we had to use for storage is in the office. It is right outside the bath so it makes a quick detour easy. We then came across another problem. We had no where to put our many books. While out shopping with the Mr we came across this bookcase at West Elm. We both LOVED the style and the size was perfect. After opening up the cabinet we realized the shelving inside was just perfect to house all our bath needs. The shelves are large enough to put our books into double rows too. We are one step closer to getting this house done! Well, I still have hundreds of steps to go, but one is good for now.
Here are a few more that could get the job done...
