Swimming around in my brain today: Bright as can be with a side of summer. Think I need a cabin by the sea to live out my brightly colored dreamscape.

Curtained

Cabanas aren't just for the rich and glamorous anymore. If you find yourself sans pool but with an awesome old porch, take a note from the Novogratz handbook and plunk some cabana-esque drapery porch-side. And then invite me over for some lemonade. I'll bring the vodka.

outdoor beds work mighty fine too

MASHUP



because really this is how my brain puts things together. A mashup of visual proportions from kiss my neon ball gown to leopard top to stair bottom.

a wee smidgen of gold (or brass while we're at it) does a kitchen mighty good. Actually a pop of gold does anything good in my opinion. Are you with me?
and it pairs extra nice with Carrera Marble. These two soul mates are a must in my future dream kitchen. But for now, while I'm in my itty bitty love nest, sans big, beautiful Carrera draped Kitchen, I'll stick to easy peasy gold accents. Gilded espresso sipping anyone?

A Day in the Life


The Everygirl is rad and the lovely ladies behind it, even radder. They stopped by the SMP offices for some chit chat and picture taking. Missed it? See so much more here...including an interview where I spill the beans about stalking Abby Larson and a life long dream of meeting Oprah and drinking a lot of champagne. Oh yeah, it's a doozy.

The Do It List


just a few projects on my current to-do list

1.Painted gold striped vases and lucky me, I have a billion gallons of liquid leaf to play with

2. Adding pom pom trim to curtains. This has been on my list for awhile now. I got these simple white curtains for my bedroom and bought some lovely pom pom trim and good old fabric glue. Now I just need to make it happen

3. We desperately need sconces in our bedroom but we rent so I really don't want to hardwire anything. This bulb sconce looks uber simple and no hardwiring required. sold

4. Art is expensive but this rad DIY picture is not. $4 people. Four little buckaroos. Again, sold

5. We go through Mrs. Meyers hand soap like water. I don't even want to tally the ridiculous amounts of money we spend. This project is a sure fire fix

Bedside View

I consider myself a nightstand connoisseur. Not in reality, but in the land of pinning and pulling inspiration with an unlimited budget. In that land, I rule and so does my nightstand. In reality, I have an itty bitty room with just enough space for a stool and some books. 
 Hey, me and that stool, we make it work. But back to the unlimited budget and space land. In that world, my nightstand would look a little something like this...



1. A bright pink lamp just so my husband knows what side of the bed is his

2. Yummy, smell so good you want to eat them candles. that are $60. But remember we're pretending that candles that cost $60 are totally normal and I buy them all the time. In fact, I have a huge stash in my closet just waiting to be frivolously burned

3. A gold detailed coaster to rest beverages like water or vodka sodas if it's been a rough day

4. Pretty, pretty notebooks for all those genius midnight ideas on how to conquer the world. I have a lot of those

5. A little tongue-in-cheek humor for your nightstand. It's little, it's cute and hey, it holds pills

6. Lots and lots of books.*On a side note we're total book hoarders around these parts. As in, we might one day be eaten alive by our plethora of novels. But this book,oh this book, I don't care if it buries me alive one day because it is just that good. Like up at three in the morning choking back tears good. buy it. read it. you won't be sorry

7. Water is a necessity on a great nightstand. Honestly, who wants to wrestle out of bed at three in the morning when your throat is parched? Not I. so water. next to your bed. much needed. and this carafe makes it all the more chic. 

8 and 9. As I mentioned before, I like books. A lot. I also enjoy a good layered moment so in my dream world full of wide open spaces there would be room for not only a crazy, gorgeous over the top expensive night stand but just enough space for a wee little stool to stack some of my current reads. Fun, no?

there's nothing that a great velvet chair or sofa won't cure. And while we're at it, velvet shoes totally fall into that category as well

Jade with Envy






vibrant greens and jades, heck we'll throw teal in there too, maybe a little mint? they have captured my heart this morning and pair so nicely with moody greys. How could I possibly resist? I'm unbelievably ready for Fall by the way. I dusted off the boots last night and they are just begging to be worn for a little apple cider sipping or maybe a few crisp air-infused jaunts
