Blue

Only occasionally can you go wrong with blue. Most of the time it's perfect...

Where was THIS tile when we went shopping today?

Patio Furniture at Lowe's

Have you seen the retro patio furniture collection at Lowe's? I wanted the chairs last year, and this year they've added a glider. Maybe I'll get something. (The chairs are only $40).

They just look so happy!

Friday's Art on the Wall

Happy Weekend! It should be nice one here in Arkansas!

Please, Oh Please!

Can I have a picture taken of Rachel and myself just like this one to frame and hang on my wall? Please?

Oh Happy Day

I'm Impressed

I found my April issue of Architectural Digest, which I had apparently never read, last night. Now, usually I get a little bored with that magazine, because it feels so beyond my reach. The houses tend to be a little too grand for my taste. BUT, I spotted this house by Appelton & Associates and just stared at it forever. I want to vacation here or live here or something....


I couldn't find many pics of it on-line, but definitely visit Appleton's website here to see more of this house (Braverman Residence) and more of their work - the architecture really is splendid!

I Want This Room

I want to come in this door, hang my coat on that rack, stack my boots on that floor (when do I wear boots?), and maybe have my wool sheep, Havalee Mae, live just outside that door.

Some Things.

I want vintage bundt pans on MY walls!

Sweet Sweet Home

I think we should take a trip to St. Louis, because there is A LOT of stuff to do there. And (and this is VERY cool), the zoo has a penguin experience program, but you gotta book it 3 weeks ahead.

I think I should get a porch swing for my back deck, a la Martha.

Tear It Out

And, Desire To Inspire did an Easter reading list of new favorite blogs found over the last year. It's LONG, and wonderful! And it's how I found Full House, which is going on my favorites list.

Full House

Psst....

I've added some new stuff to the shop, so go have a looksy here.

Friday's Art On The Wall

Since I LOVE and CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF walls of artwork, I decided to start a segment that I will (hopefully) post every Friday called Art On The Wall. Here is the inaugural wall. Enjoy! And have a happy Easter weekend!

I Could Sleep Here All Summer

I don't even know if this room is on the beach, but the white walls and lighting make it feel like a vacation. And I love how the arch detail on the wall frames the whole thing!
