a fab find, my splurge and can you even believe it's finally move day

This little piece of gorgeousness is a lucite and polished brass curtain rod. Umm.. how fabulous. Umm.. why didn't I remember these during my curtain + hardware melt down?! You'll have to get some and then not tell me how amazing they are, ok?! Ok.

This is my little piece of personal happiness.. I've been waiting weeks to see it in the new house.. it's instalment today makes me beyond excited for move day tomorrow. I'll be taking a few days away from work to start to get settled, but if you have Design Q's or need any custom paintings done ( I promise I will fill the shop soon, as well as THRIFTED! ) send me an email and I'll get them scheduled next week for you! xoxo

an edesign after | I love this space

Pamela's home is one I could walk right into and continue to live my life just like I do. Her tastes are so similar to mine, and we love the same mix of elements. Her home was an absolute joy to work on.. have a peek at the afters as she is making amazing progress adding the finishing details-

( that is so a part of e design I love so much..once you have all the elements that we've talked about and have been added virtually to your space, you purchase and add them as you can and as budget allows! )

Pamela's front room is right off her entry and is a little more of a formal sitting room-

ahh I love this SO much-

She was lacking a defined entry so we added a narrow console to act as a spot to pop your keys and mail, and it plays into the living room so wonderfully-

by adding two slip covered chairs to her existing dining room furniture added some softness and made it really inviting-

umm, does a kitchen get much better than this?! We added two amazing lamps to flank the sink and wow do they add alot of character and interest to an ( already amazing ) space!

At the opposite end of the house is a family room that is a little more playful, colorful and cozy. Great pillows, monograms, a cozy rug and marble topped table invite the family to hang out, the kids to play and completes such an amazing living space!

weekend links

cute right?! Love easy style-

This weekend has us heading out of town tomorrow to a friends retirement from the NHL party.. looking forward to seeing some people we haven't seen in ages :)

Here are some links for you to snoop through with your weekend morning coffee, hope your weekend is great and wishes for the most wonderful Mothers Day! xo

I'm smitten with Serena & Lily's pareo. Wrap yourself, make a scarf, a beach towel, whatever you need. And for only 38.00..perfect! While you're there I think we should snag one of these sling chairs
they look so so comfy :)

Danielle Oakey melted my heart this week when she shared her family video. It's AMAZING.

Did you see the table makeover that Jessica over at The Aestate did? It's so cool and I can't even imagine the patience she had to do it. You rock girlie ( and not just for the table ;) )

Check out the little black door for a bamboo chandelier makeover that is crazy good.

If your a fan of nature + water colors check out these lovely pieces by Simple Chaos.

I love this. I want all three of these. If you know of great sources for pale green bottles let me know, I'm pretty smitten and need to do something with them in the new house!
