The New Look Everyone's Talking About


If you haven't heard about Restoration Hardware's new look, then you haven't been reading many blogs! The blogworld is abuzz with it, so I thought I would just share my favorite room rather than boring you with a lot of photos you may have already seen. This is not a look that I currently have in my own home (although I may have to figure out a way to sneak it in) but, as with so many styles, I do love it. Simple and serene with loads of texture.

Another thing that I like about their new look is that if you can't afford their prices, many aspects could be replicated fairly easily on a smaller budget!

Mudroom/Laundry Bench Remix Progress

Yep. I'm working on it. I know. It must be really difficult to keep up with the speedy progress I'm making! I started on this project on June 28th and I'm ALREADY priming the pieces today! :-)

Could that be the reason for the slightly raised eyebrow and smirk from my husband when he said, "what are you doing?" and I responded "working on my mudroom bench"? I don't have any excuse for not working on it really except that summer was busy and I hate sanding.

I actually enjoy painting, which is the next step, so that should go well. After that I need to get my hubby involved with some power tools so it will depend on his schedule.

I think it's going to actually end up to be a pretty cool bench so I can't wait to share it with you. When do you think that will be? :-)

Hope you're having a great day!

Love Life.

Simplify your life
Live one day at a time
Less is more
Slow down and take it all in...

Quality over quantity
Forget about the mess sometimes & be happy there's someone there to make it.
Don't worry
Paring down makes you feel free...


Take pleasure in the day to day
Appreciate the little things in life


Find beauty in every day things...
Don't click away the time

You never regret taking the time to do something nice for someone

They grow up before you know it



Keep your goals in mind but don't forget to appreciate what you already have...

Each day is such a gift to us and we should treasure its beauties: nature, our homes, our friends, our families...
Take nothing for granted. You will be happier, I promise.

A little girl drowned in the ocean this week while we were at the beach. I can't imagine how horrible it must be for her family right now & I'm heartbroken for them. Please say a little prayer & remember what's really important in your life. Don't take even one day for granted.

xoxo,

lauren

Divine Chairs

I ran across this chair company in a post somewhere and saved it. Now I can't remember who originally did a post about it (sorry!).

The chairs are from The Divine Chair Company. I have no idea how much they cost but their website says that their aim is "to provide fabulous and affordable furniture to people who appreciate individuality and style". What really drew me to them was their individuality, spunk and whimsicality. I wouldn't want a room full of them, but as a statement piece they would be fun!


How about you? Favorites? Thoughts?

Use A Feather

Feathers have embellished our surroundings for centuries, including what we wear.
Nobody wears feathers like Cher, no?
Feathers are glamorous.
Fabulous really.


Below a picture taken from from my design website,
I have two tall matching floral arrangements on either side of an elevator door and on the very top are feathers.



*And for those of us who suffer from perfectionism, I suggest using a feather when beating yourself up for not doing something perfectly!
This SOFT feather will do just fine.






Feather trims for pillows, floral arrangements, even on a sofa instead of bullion fringe.
Yes, sewn into upholstery. It is wild and beautiful if done in a way that you have to look twice to realize it is trimmed in feathers. Not too outrageous, just a tiny 'pop' that is a quiet 'wow factor'.

Where to get the tall plumes 15 to 40 inches

Have a nice weekend...........love to all my friends and supporters!!
