the coveteurrr.

i am inspired daily by the coveteur.

i know these ladies bring out their best stuff but gosh, it's amazing stuff. the shoes, jewels, the clothes.

color, pattern... awesome-sauce.

if you don't already go there, i might recommend it.

and in case you don't know how to get there, go here.

how was your weekend?

flowers for friday #160

boys and girls.

get it...?

blue and pink. boys and girls.

dumb :)

but i am kinda having a moment with these 2 colors.

a true saturated blue and a true saturated pink.

oh hot pink, let me count the ways.

sidenote: after all you people will be over and sick of neon, especially le hot pink, i won't be. just so you know, you know?

in large doses, small doses and medium ones in between, i dig it.

that third picture is so ballsy. my home is colorful, but images like those make me crave more.

viva hot pink!

flowerS for friday #158 and #159

oh hey there.

call it my summer vacation?

i didn't mean to be gone that long.

nor did i do anything worthy of a 'summer vacation'.

but here we are.

i am soaking up the last bit of summer...

homegrown tomatoes!!!

i could eat them like an apple.

i hope you have great plans for the weekend.

see you monday!!

flowers for friday #157

friday monday!!

so i've been gone.

and this is a sentance i have been saying far too much on here.

and i'd rather just not say it, but i've been really uninspired.

maybe i'm desensitized with all this beautiful gorgeous stuff all over to look at.

i have my theories.

but instead of forcing anything, i'm just stepping away until i'm inspired again.

this weekend was the lowest key weekend i've had in a long long time.

i clocked a lot of doing nothing time.

it was great!

and yesterday was a devious maids marathon and you better believe i watched it. all of it.

so now...

not sure when i'll be back but i will be.

until then.

would you leave it wood?

because i so would.



i've been in my house now for 4 years and while we've come a long way from where we started, there is still quite a bit of things i want to do to this house before we call her finished.

but now i'm at this point where i'm itching to move. to start over.

do i leave this house, with a face lift, just not a full reconstructive work up....

or do i stick it out for another 2 years and see her through?

prob going to stay.

but if i were looking for houses right about now, i'd probably be looking for wood paneling.

and who does that?

me.

here's why:

it can be so funky good.

like here with that bright yellow velvet.

hell yes.

and with white.

oh with white.

or when you're over the darkness, you can still make it awesome before you paint it white!

what do you think?

would you just take it out or paint it?

or would you leave it or white wash it?

flowers for friday #156

happy weekend!

my parents are getting married again!

on our dock at the lake!

not really again again, they're renewing their vows.

it was their 30th anniversary this july and so i decided they needed a party.

and more vows :)

we're at our lake house getting ready already.

it's tomorrow night and we have lots of our family and friends on their way to stay at both our house and nearby... for the wedding of course!

i'm excited.

my mom bought a cute little white dress and we even bought a cake. ha.

i've massed all their old wedding photos into one hell of a slideshow...

and we're going to do this thing.

hope you have a great weekend.

love.
