A Dapper Find

When I was decorating my little man's room I kept going back to this print.  So dapper!

This online store has some great prints, cards, invitations, and gift tags.  I always like having things off the beaten path!  To me, the worst thing is seeing yourself - be it someone else in the dress your wearing, having the same Christmas card as your neighbor, or seeing the same print on everyone's wall.  Spice it up I say! Thank goodness this wide world known as the internet allows us all to get things no one else would have!  Check out Rifle Paper Co. for a unique item.

Etsy find

Have you discovered Etsy?  If you have been living under a rock you might not have known about this treasure trove of handmade goodies! Etsy is a great resource to find one of a kind hand-made items.  I love searching the site during nap times!  Just today I found these amazing animal prints.  I love animals and I love absolutely anything to do with royalty (Hello, Kate Middleton!).  

I can see these framed and scattered through a big bookcase or a child's room or bathroom.  These are from the shop called poordogfarm.

Santa, Stop by Elva Fields on the way to my house!

Santa, you need to check this out.  Elva Fields makes the most lust worthy necklaces this side of Anthropologie.  Truly a gem worthy of handing down to my daughter one day.  Please drop one of the these beauties down my chimney Christmas night!

The first one I truly cannot live without!  I will be extra good until Christmas, I promise!

Santa, are you listening?

I need this bag.  I have two babies, one is two and one is 8 weeks.  With one boy and one girl, it is hard to find one bag that is everything I need it to be.  (How does one stylishly carry a stinking, steaming diaper out of a dressing room?  This bag of coarse!)

I want to be Tobi Fairley's daughter

Tobi Fairley put this crazy, amazing tree in her daughter's playroom.  I love the whimsy and fun factor of this tree.  This may inspire me to ditch my black/Jonathan Adler tree next year for a white/colorful tree!

i love jute!

I'm beachy.  Simple as that.  If I look around my house it becomes blatantly obvious I think I am living at the beach (albeit a good 200 miles walking distance to the actual beach.)  I just love light colors, stripes, and some blue. 

In my internet jute search I found these two cuties!  You can find them at World Market.  Goes to show you that places you never go to actually have little hidden gems! 

So, of coarse a doormat won't do for the Baby's room.
(That would be just plain weird.)   I did find this cute number at Ballard Designs.  Thinking this may be the one!

Inspiration Room

I saw this room and decided to go a different way with baby L's room.  I love some stripes.  I have a striped bathroom and 2 chevron striped rugs.  I have some serious stripe love!  

Plus, Sherwin Williams had a 40% off sale today on paint.  So, grey and white stripes it is for Baby L.

I think I will still incorporate my original turquoise and orange ideas into this more neutral toned room.


Will post a picture of the stripes once the husband gets them done!  Aren't husbands great!
