This mix has a lot of pink - Valentine's Day is approaching so why not :)

I think this top looks really easy to wear and comfy.  It's pink stripes are cute too - you can find it here.

How are adorable are these little stools with silver woven throughout.

Add a little pop of color to your outfit with this pair of earrings.

I was looking for X hardware and found it when we were visiting the home and garden show - I don't really understand the home and garden show - you can pretty much find everything that is there on your own.  The highlight of the trip was a delicious pound of chocolate and peanut butter fudge.  The peanut butter was legit - and the meet the Greyhounds.  They are so sweet.

My latest trip to Anthropologie with my Mom and Sister left me wanting this tea towel.  I think it's perfect.

Both of the vases pictured are also an Anthropologie find.

Flower topped cupcake decorating - so  pretty.  This batch of cupcakes was created by Sugar and Charm.  Love them!  Have you checked out the Russian flower icing tips - one easy step to beautiful flowers.

This chair has the wood left raw.  I think it would look very nice paired with my vintage looking stainless steel desk/table.

It doesn't look like much on this board, but this eyelash quilt is really pretty in real life - it will add some texture to your bed - and it's on sale!

Also on sale - the prettiest pink throw with gold hearts.  I scooped one up and love it!  So girly!

This brass and enamel tray is also just so pretty.  It also comes in a blush pink and a creamy white.   Check it out - and while you are looking also check out this garland.  It's an easy item to throw on a table or tray or drape anywhere.

Thank you for reading!

Hello again.  Here are some of my recent favorites ...

I'm not sure yet where I might be able to add any wall sconces to our house.  None of my walls are all that long so we will see.  If I had a place this one and this one are two that I find interesting.

I'm loving all kinds of soft blue - blue green - blue gray paint colors.  Here are a couple that I will be testing out in our house.  The first is called Smoke and it is by Benjamin Moore. The second is Feather Gray also by BM.

I want to find a place for some bold wallpaper - this is a contender, but I have a blue floral that is in first place for my main level so I'm even thinking maybe a ceiling covered in this floral paper.  Otherwise I'll save it for another project.

We want to use very cozy rugs in our great and front rooms.  I like that this rug uses softer colors and looks soft as well.

I have a long pine table that I usually use in our foyer - I'm pretty sure it needs this bench tucked under it :)

I ordered this wood bead flushmount light to check out in person.   There are a few different places I think it might work.

Here are a couple kitchen hardware options I'm checking out.  They should be in my mail today.  Click here for knob and pull.

Last but not least with Valentine's Day nearing this heart card is cute enough to frame.   Search heart on this same site to see a couple more fun heart art options.

I need to share more of our remodel progress.  They are finishing the install of the wood floors today - stairs still going in - columns are gone - 1/2 wall is gone.  It feels so-ooo much better in here already.  We have to work within our homes limits so it's not going to be new build perfection, but it will be so upgraded and so majorly nicer.  It's going to be a pleasure to live in!

Happy New Year!

Our's has been very busy so far - but good!

The first level of our house is empty.  It was quite a job packing everything up, but nice to take a look at what was hiding up there and discard and donate some things.  It will definitely be a fresh start this year - and since I have lots of time at home with our dog while all this work is being done I'm now going through everything in all the other rooms of the house.  G and I did run a lot of errands together today - she went to Goodwill, the paint store, Lowe's, LLBean and Partridge Creek, Panera Bread, Post Office, and the Bank.  Oh, and PetSmart.  Now she is passed out!

Here is the first mix of the year - and it's Thursday today, not Monday, but that's ok.

I myself don't usually buy shirts in this material, but this high neck blouse is so pretty.

I picked this black and white extension cord up at Target before the holdiays.  It was on an endcap for $1.50 and I'm sorry I didn't grab all of them.  I used in on our kitchen Christmas tree, and it was so nice to have the glimpse of the cord be a pretty one.  I did see this same brand at Meijer so maybe they will start carrying the two toned cords.

Loving tapers and the brass holders above don't disappoint.  Can't wait until I can unpack mine :)

I got this clutch before Christmas and it is stunning.  The clasp is based on a vintage broach that the designer has in her collection.  The inside is hot pink.  They have a couple left in silver - but the gold is perfection!

While looking up this clutch to tell you about I found this ring.  Sad I didn't see this earlier.  They only have size 5 left - I love it!  They offer a matching set of earrings and necklace - just fyi.

Pretty lamp.

I could eat pizza every day of the week so I really like this doormat.

Need any extra cute storage - this piece is 36 inches wide and 4 feet tall so it's good for tight spaces.  Nice color too!

The Annette Rug will find it's way somewhere in our reno.  Love it!!!

Here is question to throw out there - These are the two different pendants I am considering for over our new island.  I like #1 because you can see through it so it would be light and airy.  #2 is just pretty cool and I haven't seen it everywhere.  Do you like one better than the other?  #1 - #2

How about a happy Rifle Paper Print.

And ...  this is the range :) we are getting.  I could write and entire post on white ranges with style.  I've gone back and fourth, but I think this is it.  My other last contender is this range.  It's either or, but I think it's the AGA.

Thank you for reading, and let me know your thoughts on the kitchen choices.  I'd love to hear from you!
