I’m always looking for ways to stay more organized, especially if it makes me (and my stuff) look nice and tidy. Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for a pretty tray to corral smaller items on places like the bathroom counter, the coffee table and even on a bedside table. I like the idea of...

lining up shoes and such
There’s always list of things I plan to accomplish each weekend and most of the time, I’m lucky to get one item checked off. Today, along with about 50 leftover to-dos, I have added “CLEAN & ORGANIZE CLOSET!” I’m sure it would be a much nicer process if I were lining up rows of red-bottomed...

currently obsessed with…
It’s officially a full-on obsession and I can’t get enough. I see zig zags and striped straws everywhere I look and it’s only added to the need for more. 1. How chic is this bold and fabulous dress? I’d wear it in a heartbeat. 2. Emery would look so cute and snuggly in these zig...

Pantone Color Inspiration
In my dreams, I’m at a fashion show in one of the big tents watching gorgeous models walk gracefully up and down the runway, and I’m mesmerized but furiously making mental notes about colors, trends and styles I see. Since that is only happening in my head, I like to review Pantone’s Fashion Color Report...

monday musings in black and white
Another Monday has arrived. The weekend’s over. The alarm goes off way too early. The one cup of coffee doesn’t cut it. The email inbox is overflowing. The day seems to drag on. One of these black and white signs would be just the right inspiration to sweeten any first day of the week. On...

emery’s nursery
I’ve finally FINALLY finished Emery’s sweet little space. It took months of contemplating colors, cribs and furniture selections before I eventually put it all together for the princess. It was mostly complete by the time we packed our bags for the hospital, but a few details and waiting for the chair to arrive meant it...

not quite pepto bismol…
Is it already Monday? I’m still in Sunday mode.It was a busy weekend and a lazy weekend. Those two seem to go hand in hand lately as most tasks like straightening my hair, unloading the dishwasher and putting on boots require a little rest or at least a deep breath afterward. Even so, I feel...

Seeing Red
It didn’t take long after Hunter and I got engaged in February that I started getting these grand ideas of repainting the house, decorating, buying new furniture — the whole nine yards. It also didn’t take long for me to realize how expensive redecorating projects are and how much work it actually takes to do...

Pretty Little Bottles
After finding my first perfume bottle at Scavengers back in January, I can now officially say I have a collection. The big clear bottle was the first find a year ago. My sister Jennifer gave me the fun pink one back in May when she got married and just gave me the sleek black bottle...

Is it Friday Yet?
I found this lovely little tin bank at Francesca’s in Destin Commons last weekend. I think it is appropriate today….. “Every coin you drop in here shaves one minute off the clock” It even suggests swiping coins from your co-workers’ desks and pocketing coins found in the seat cushions of your carpool ride. It’s by...

Sit. Relax. Gossip.
One of my favorite signs ever. I found it at Scavengers in Santa Rosa Beach a few years back and had to have it. I love anything black and white (of course) and since it was under 10 bucks, I was sold. Sometimes you just need to sit back, relax and get a few things...

Black and White Houndstooth Chairs Rock!
As you’ve probably noticed by now, I am a total sucker for anything black and white. It really never goes out of style and is always exciting to the contrast in new patterns and styles. In this case, it’s fun to see a classic print like houndstooth jazz up an otherwise so-so living room. When...

If You’ve Got It, Flaunt It
I can definitely appreciate this idea. I have a big bookcase in my bedroom without a single book on it. (Don’t worry … I have plenty of books elsewhere in the house). Instead, it serves as my shoe closet, with most of my good shoes sitting on the four shelves with easy access. It keeps...

The Oval Office Gets a Facelift
Almost everyone knows the familiar look of the President’s Oval Office, thanks to movies or Will Ferrell SNL skits. Wonder what it would look like with a modern update? Done. Elle Decor gave a peek thanks to imaginary facelifts from a few designers — Jonathan Adler, Gossip Girl set designers and Calvin Klein Home. Pretty...

Jonathan Adler Does the Oval Office
Imagine the Oval Office revamped! This is what it would look like if Jonathan Adler had his way. From InStyle: “For President Obama’s Oval Office, I added moi signature touch of dramawith my Montmartre table and Horse lamps. Throughout my redesign, I usedtone-on-tone walls and drapery, and repeated patterns, like the presidentialseal on the rug....
