I love the mix of the traditional settee with the contemporary rug, modern light fixture and vintage desk. It's the perfect combo! (Sorry for the poor image quality...had to scan the ad!)<br />

After seeing the ad, I googled The Rug Company and came across their sleek new store in Malta. I think it's fantastic! Don't you?</div>

We went to the neighborhood spring social on Saturday and spent some time at the park this afternoon to stroll, swing and see the ducks...three of our favorite activities! One thing was for sure, though, it was piping hot!! It's a good thing there were some shade trees we could escape beneath. I posted a couple of pics from our outing at the bottom of the post :) <br />
<br />
Speaking of piping hot...I am totally digging the HOT PINK accents that the <a href="http://www.gansevoortpark.com/">Hotel Gansevoort</a> on Park Avenue NYC has used to create a total wow factor in the guest rooms! I think I could handle spending some time in that room after a long day of NYC shopping. Hmmm...let me go check my calendar - ha!<br />

The design, by architect Kengo Fuma, features 2,000 stick-like parts that are weaved together diagonally and range in size from 1.3m – 4m in length. What do you think about this design? I personally think it is super cool!<br />

And yes, I will be in attendance at a Derby Party with my new white hat! Can you tell I'm excited about that?! I probably won't be making any bets (my favorite never wins), but a good time it will be. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday and be sure to tune into the "greatest 2 minutes in sports." Oh, and happy Cinco de Mayo, too! <br />

I can't believe it has already been one year since Brennan came into our lives, and let me just say, it's been the best year EVER!! She has truly been the light of our lives and is such a sweet, happy little girl. I could go on and on...and on and on... but I think we could all do that about our little ones, right?!? <br />
Since we call her "B" for short, I thought having a bumble-"B" party would be the perfect celebration. Instead of using the traditional colors of black and yellow that we associate with bees, I incorporated all of the party details using a lighter, softer color palette of whites, yellows, grays, pastel pinks and pastel teals. I must thank all of my amazing vendors that helped make the party such a success (see all listed below), and in particular, I want to give a shout-out to my talented and hard-working sister. She is the owner of <a href="http://www.uninkdesignllc.blogspot.com/">Unink Design LLC</a> (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/uninkdesignllc">www.facebook.com/uninkdesignllc</a>), and really made the ideas in my head come to life!<br />
Below are some pictures from the party. Thanks to all of you - family and friends - who came to celebrate on this special day with us. And last, but certainly not least, we love you, Brennan!!! Here's to your year number 2!<br />

My, how times flies! For her nursery, I used a variety of fabrics for the crib bedding, upholstery and draperies but stayed fairly neutral in color with pops of a very pale pink. I have given details below each picture. It was a fun project that, unfortunately, wasn't totally complete until after the babe was here. Thank you, bedrest! The room completion was worth the wait, though. It is a special place in our home. I love it!<br />

A quiet night at home spending precious moments with my family while watching <em>The Bachelor</em> (gotta' love On Demand TV) and eating sushi. How could it get any better?? Not to mention, the homemade petit fours I brought home from work that satisfied my sweet tooth - yum!<br />
I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband, a vibrant little girl that steals my heart each and every day and family and friends that always there for me . I love you all!!<br />
<br />
On to another "happy" note...On Monday, Brennan and I delivered our Valentine happies to her Mother's Morning Out class. We went with a "strawberry" theme with a strawberry grow kit and strawberry craft kit for her little friends, and strawberry preserves for the teachers. My talented sister, Joanna (owner of <a href="http://www.uninkdesignllc.blogspot.com/">Unink Design LLC</a> - on facebook and has a blog) designed fabulous tags for us. Here are a few pics.<br />

I am sure that many of you have probably already "ooh-ed" and "aah-ed" over this fabulous kitchen and breakfast nook on the cover of the February 2012<em> House Beautiful</em> issue. Of course with yellow being my favorite color, I'm immediately captivated by it, but putting my personal color bias aside...the space really is a major success featuring the dynamic duo of 2012: yellow and gray. The combination of grays and whites with a punch of yellow, the flirty "aztec" print fabric and the geometric flooring all make for one dynamite space! Love!<br />
<br />
Happy Friday!<br />

<br />
I was so surprised when I received a beautiful delivery on Wednesday afternoon. The reason you ask...there was none. Collin just said he had not sent me any in a while and wanted to surprise me. Very thoughtful! There is not much more that can brighten a day like fresh flowers. And I must point out that the lilly was the most gorgeous I have seen in a while...absolutely stunning. <br />
<br />
Now that is a really, "lilly" sweet delivery! Thanks, Collin. I love you.<br />

I recently purchased a new high chair from<a href="http://www.bloombaby.com/"> Bloom Baby</a> (see pic below) for my little girl and opted to go with the white frame and gold metallic seat pad and straps. Being that I have so many gold accents in my home, I thought it would be a fun color combination...especially since it is the new "centerpiece" of the breakfast room :)<br />
<br />
Gold is no longer a trend but rather a classic that will never go away. It is seen in furniture, accessories, art and fabrics, just to name a few, and can stand a very traditional setting or slightly more flashy and contemporary surrounding. I personally love its versatility. Do you?<br />
<br />
Below are some gold pieces that I find very inspiring...some a little more outrageous than others...but all very fascinating.<br />
<br />
Have a golden day! <br />

A embarassing as it is to admit, it has been nearly a year since I created a new blog post. Now that 2012 is here and life has settled down a bit, I've decided to get back to blogging!! However, because being a mom and wife is now my number one priority, I am going to limit my postings. I'll try to get one posted at least once a week...that's my goal! I've seen so many wonderful things lately and have had some projects this past year that I want to share. I enjoy my time blogging and have made many good friendships through this crazy world of internet. Most importantly, I can't think of a better way to keep a journal of ALL things I love (from family & friends to what inspired this site to begin with...design!) So, here's to 2012 and the excitement it will bring. I'm back!<br />
<br />
To bring you up to speed, I have posted our 2011 Christmas card featuring the love of my life...Brennan. She is now over 10 months old! <br />

Catching some Zs, mostly...Yes, I know it has been a while since I have updated my blog! I can't believe I have been such a slacker when it comes to my site, but in my defense, a lot has been going on. At the end of January, I was put on bedrest after spending some time in the hospital for preterm labor symptoms. You would think that I would have been blogging more since I have been holed up in the bed at home, but with all of the visitors and the number of TV shows coming on daily (ha!), I just didn't find the energy to get on the computer too much. Anyway, on the brighter side, I am feeling much better and am ready to step back into my world of blogging. Baby girl and I are doing great, and we expect her arrival in the next couple of weeks!! Collin and I are super excited about parenthood and continue to pray for a healthy baby and safe delivery. I'll keep everyone updated...nursery pics will come soon too. Of course, being on bedrest, I haven't been able to get out and about to finish the last-minute details of the room, but I promise to post soon with final photos.<br />
<br />
For now, though, let's talk design! As I've been lying in bed for the past weeks, my bed has become my best friend - really. I have found a new passion for this amazing piece of furniture, and after doing some research on the different types of beds and bedrooms, I have posted some of my favorites below. <br />

It was nice to get away for a couple of nights and see the sites of somewhere I had really never been. Well, I had traveled through Baton Rouge on my way to other places but never actually stayed and seen the city. My great-aunt (Joe Joe) and I love to travel so we decided to take a spur of the moment trip to this cajun city to do a little relaxing, shopping and, of course, eating!! With that being said, I'm going to dedicate this post to all of the delicious bites we tasted while away on our mini vacay. And let me just go ahead and preface...these pictures don't do any of it a bit of justice! It was all fantastic! </div><br />

I can't even begin to explain to you how amazing this place is...pastries, desserts, cakes, donuts, truffles, cookies, trifles, pies, fresh breads...you name it. They even serve breakfast and lunch!

Oh, and to finish this Monday morning post, I'm going to brag on my wonderful husband. He cooked an amazing meal for us last night...grilled filet with corn, asparagus, fresh bread and onion. He is one good griller, and it was the perfect way to end our busy weekend. <br />

Is your mouth watering yet?! Happy Monday!Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06545102177794566011noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885781412689815650.post-1303371900233768102011-01-20T07:17:00.000-06:002011-01-20T07:17:42.814-06:00A Cup of Joe, Anyone?One of our latest purchases is the Keurig Special Edition Single-Cup Brewer. For those of you who know me, you know how much I love a good cup of java - any time of day, and this coffee maker is just what I needed! If you 're not familiar with this fabulous appliance, it brews one cup at a time (small, medium or large - I usually go for the large!) so you don't have to fuss with making an entire pot of coffee and then throwing the extra down the drain. Plus, it's so easy to use and brews in no time so you can have a delicious, fresh cup of instantly!! Another plus is that there are TONS of flavors and brands to choose from so you can change it up anytime you like...coffee, tea, hot chocolate - even iced drinks.I personally stocked up on a few different flavors (decaf, hazelnut, cafe mocha, hot cocoa, cappucino, iced vanilla latte, etc) so I can sample them all! It's simply fantastic...can you tell I love it?!<br />
<br />
So with all of this coffee craziness in my life, I began brainstorming about the different ways that coffee is incorporated into design. I mean, think about it...coffee is a major phenomenon all over the world! I did a little research online and found some inspiring images that show just how popular a "cup of Joe" is in this world. What do you think about this anytime-of-day treat? Yay? Nay? Do you like how it has been incorporated in design, or should we leave it all to taste? I would love to hear your thoughts!<br />
<br />
So how have we paid homage to this delicious drink???<br />

Although our house was new when we bought it, there have been small changes that I have wanted to make along the way so that our home truly reflects our style and personality. One of the things on my "Project Home" list has been to wallpaper our half bath. The room was painted a toffee color before, and it looked nice, but I really wanted to lighten the space. Because the room is not extremely large, the toffee paint was making it a little dark, and I knew that wallpaper would really bring some spirit to the room that is located off of our kitchen and keeping room. Plus, I just LOVE wallpaper, and it's really making a come-back in the world! It's such a great way to add a touch of individuality to a space.<br />
<br />
When I ran across this Asian-inspired paper, I knew it was the perfect match for our powder bath. Not only is it light and airy, but it has a small-scale pattern with Oriental motifs including pagodas, boats, men and antelope that truly reflect our style. It is traditional with hints of coral and blue yet has a contemporary twist with the light linen background and an Asian theme. It turned out great, and with my husband being a fanatic about Asian food (if you know him, you know where I'm coming from!), he was a big fan too! It's always makes me happy when he loves something I've done!<br />
<br />
Below are some photos of the half bath. My photography skills aren't that great, but I tried to get some close-ups of the pattern as well as some overall room shots for your viewing pleasure :) But as always, it looks so much better in person, but these will give you the general idea.

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div align="left">I hope you enjoyed the photos, and below I have listed some tips when thinking about installing wallpaper in your home or in any project you may be working on.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">1) Try installing it in a small space such as a bath, foyer/entry, bar or butler's pantry, etc. It can really add a "punch" to your space, especially if you're not sure you are sold on the idea of wallpaper in a large space or are scared to take the risk on making too large of a statement.</div><div align="left">2) If you don't have the budget for artwork for the walls, try wallpaper! Pick one with a pattern and you won't have to spend the money on expensive art. It's "built-in" to the paper already!</div><div align="left">3) Be aware of the pattern when selecting your paper. Installation prices can be quite a bit higher with an intricate pattern that will need special attention when matching at the seams.</div><div align="left">4) Be aware if the color gradiates within the pattern. When installed, one side may seem lighter or darker than the other. Just something to think about!</div><div align="left">5) Try wallpaper on your ceiling. If you're willing to take the risk, it can really be something different! (I am dying to do this in one of my rooms!)</div><div align="left">6) Always check to see if the paper is pre-pasted or not...this will affect your installation costs.</div><div align="left">7) Find a good installer! You want someone reliable who has some experience because lining up the pattern can sometimes be tricky. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Good luck, and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me! And if you have used wallpaper before, I would love to see how you may have incorporated it into your home or projects. </div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06545102177794566011noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885781412689815650.post-71227985075467139062011-01-16T16:22:00.000-06:002011-01-16T16:22:23.263-06:00Stella & Dot: Giveaway!So, I'm a little late to the giveaway and just posted my entry in the knick of time!!

Don't forget to check out Anna's site, <a href="http://www.aainteriors.blogspot.com/">An Apple A Day</a>, and have a fantastic weekend!!</div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06545102177794566011noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885781412689815650.post-40939020985034995742011-01-13T07:30:00.000-06:002011-01-13T07:30:04.897-06:00Fabric Fetish: A Nursery Sneak-PeekBefore going any further, I want to say good-bye to one of my favorite blogs, <a href="http://www.keepingupwithstella.blogspot.com/">Keeping Up with Stella</a>, whose author, Marla, has decided to give up blogging to focus on her adorabe family. I enjoyed her delightful blog that focused on the very best finds for babies and toddlers. If you didn't get a chance to visit the blog, go now...or check out her last post <a href="http://keepingupwithstella.blogspot.com/2011/01/keeping-up-with-stellas-last-hurrah.html">here</a> where she dishes on some great Etsy shops for children. Oh, and I want to say a big thank you to Marla for listing me as one of her daily reads...you are too sweet, Marla!! You will be missed, and I wish you nothing but the best in your future.<br />
<br />
Now moving to more baby news, I want share with you some of the fabrics that will be front and center in my nursery. If you are new to my blog, you may not know that my husband and I are expecting our first child, a girl, in early April. We are beyond thrilled, and the nursery has been such a fun project for me! I have been busy working on the room - pulling all of the details together without stressing about the little things that ultimately don't really matter...and that's hard to do for me to do sometimes. After a little deliberation and sifting through fabrics for hours on end, I have decided to keep it neutral with shades of creme and brown, and I'll add touches of a light, baby pink...not bubblegum or hot pink, but a very subtle pink - a "you barely know it's pink" pink...if that makes sense.<br />
<br />
Anyway, below you will see a collage of fabrics (sorry the photos aren't that great) that will surround my baby girl as she sleeps - or cries- ha! I will be posting next week, hopefully, on some of the items and pieces that I have purchased for the room including the crib, rocker, ottoman, side chair, etc. I'll also share with you my vision for the room through a collage of sketches and photos. Before then, though, I hope this gives you a sense of where I am headed with the space. Enjoy the sneak-peek!<br />

Well, I was so happy to hear from Sue at <a href="http://www.thezhush.blogspot.com/">The Zhush</a> that she indeed has the lovely Cole and Sons woods wallpaper (see <a href="http://moxiemaley.blogspot.com/2011/01/opposites-attract.html">post</a> below) in her ski home in Vermont. Of course, I immediately took myself to her blog (she has an awesome blog by the way!) to view the photos of the wallpaper installation, and WOW, it is gorgeous!! She has really used the paper in the most perfect application. It truly enriches her wintery home and mimics the amazing views from the bedroom. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! <br />
<br />
Below, I have posted some of my favorite photos of the wallpaper but you must take yourself to her blog and view them all in her <a href="http://www.thezhush.blogspot.com/2010/01/home-again-home-again.html">Home Again, Home again</a> post - or you can click on the "Our Ski Home" link on her sidebar. The transformation of the entire home is absolutely stunning...you won't be disapppointed!<br />

It was delicious, and I will definitely be adding it to some of my standard recipes. It was the perfect way to share the night with the one I love while watching the BCS Championship game. Oh, and I also served warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping...our favorite appetizer while honeymooning in Italy a few years back. YUM!!

I just love this color combination! It's so classic and sophisticated and looks good on everything...from clothing to fabrics to accessories to everday furnishings. You just can't go wrong with it. Needless to say, the black and white inspired me so much that I thought I would share with you some of my latest favorites in this color combination. What do you think about these polar opposites?
