Hey, Everyone! Happy Friday!
I’m working on a few updates to the kiddos’ rooms (you’ll see them next week) and found some great inspiration from House Beautiful. Here are nine super stylish bedrooms any child would love.
Technical Difficulties….and a Mood Board!
Hey, Everyone! If you’ve just received a TEST post from me, I apologize. Let me explain…
I moved the blog to a new server the other day have had nothing but technical problems since. To say that it’s been a frustrating few days here in blog world would be a huge understatement! On Monday I did a post on the new look of the blog (DO YOU LIKE IT?!?) and included info on the new “Services” page I added. Unfortunately, most of you never saw it due to these tech issues. (Does anything EVER go smoothly?!? Aarrgghh!) Anyway, please feel free check out the post here, if you’d like.
While the blog was down (have I mentioned how annoying that was?) I thought I’d have a little fun with Olioboard and I found myself creating a beachy feeling dining room. Maybe it was the post I did last week on navy, but I decided that if I ever had a beach house, the fam and I would be inhaling our lobster rolls in a space that looks something like this.
Crisp with a nod to the nautical and maybe a little more modern than the average beach house? No shabby chic here! Doubt I’ll ever have a vacation home but a girl can dream, right?
Well, that’s it for today. Hopefully, our technical difficulties are behind us and we can get back to normal around here. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
Blog Update!
So, whadda ya think?!? My little blog got a little make-over! Doesn’t she look cute?! I had held off on hiring someone to help me with the design of the blog until I was sure that I would enjoy writing it and knew I wanted to stick with it. Well, looks like I’ve made the commitment!
I’ve added a few bells and whistles that will, hopefully, make it more user friendly and easy for you all to navigate through. You can also now find links to follow me on Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. I’ll get Instagram on there as well as soon as I start taking some pics! Speaking of pics – I’ve been told by a bunch of people that I really need to include a photo of myself so as soon as I can find one that I don’t want to burn I’ll get on that too.
Also, PLEASE be sure to check out my new “Services” page! Moving forward I’ll be offering both local and E-Design services so hire me, people! HIRE ME!! 
Finally, a huge thank you for stopping by. Readership is growing slowly but surely and I hope that you all enjoy reading half as much as I enjoy writing to you.
Be back tomorrow with a regular post. Oh! If you like the new look, please share it on FB. Thanks!
FreeStyle Friday!
Hello! Hello! And welcome to the third installment of FreeStyle Friday! Anything goes…so let’s get going!
Had to share this totally sophisticated but super family-friendly home from House and Home. I love, pretty much, everything about this house.
House and Home
Courtney, from one of my new daily reads, A Thoughtful Place, shares the ten things she wants her son to know as he turns five. Warning: Do not even attempt to read this without having tissues handy! Continue reading
Feelin’ Blue
Those of you who’ve been reading for a while now know I’ve been loving the color yellow lately. Maybe it was the long (as in ‘thought it would NEVER FREAKING END’ winter) that made me crave a color that represents all things warm and summery. I’ve used it in the kids’ bath and planned to use it in the guest bedroom make-over (that plan actually might be changing…we shall see). Just recently though, I’m seeing all of these incredible rooms done in deep, rich shades of blue…and I gotta say, they’re pretty fabulous.
How about this glam bedroom from Mary MacDonald. Dark navy against crisp white…and OMG – THAT FLOOR!!!!
Carmel from Our Fifth House went with a beautiful shade of blue for her master bedroom.
I Got A New Dog
Nope, not a real one. Already have one of those and, while we love her, she’s all I can handle right now. This is a different kind of hound…
Julie, who writes one of my favorite blogs, Shelter, did a great post on porcelain dog sculptures the other day - whippets to be precise. The post reminded me of a cute, little guy I’d seen at HomeGoods a few days earlier. I had picked him up, put him in my cart, then decided I really didn’t need a porcelain dog, so I put him back. After seeing Julie’s post, though, I felt it was a sign. Doggie was supposed to come home with me. So I went back….
And now he’s home.
