It was recently featured on the front page of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">etsy</a> and I can't stop thinking about all of the beautiful details that make up this space. It has a peaceful, lived in feeling to it, as everything has been collected over time with much thought. When I read that Sara has just begun her journey to adopt a precious baby that will someday occupy this nursery, that made me love it even more. You see, my husband and I are on that same journey, we have already gone through the home study process and are certified to adopt. We are now in the 'waiting' stage, hoping that someday soon our dream to become parents will come true. However, our 'nursery' looks more like an empty bedroom with a rocking chair and stacks of my husband's books covering the floor. I think it's time for me to get crack a' lackin on my own nursery design...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So sorry that I can't show any after photos yet, but I promise they're coming. In the meantime, I keep seeing photos of stylish wicker throne chairs around blogworld which is making me want to keep the chair I found last week rather than selling it on craigslist. Aren't these adorable?<br />

Please excuse my absence, I've had a busy couple of months with traveling, work, and just life in general and my blog kind of fell by the wayside. I didn't mean to be so neglectful, but once I got out of my grove, it was hard to get back on. In my time away, I was able to do some reflecting and decided while I do enjoy blogging, I don't necessarily have the time to do it everyday. Plus, I want to be excited and passionate about what I do share here, rather than just showing up and posting something just for the sake of posting. So I'm going to shoot for at least two entries a week, and if I happen to find something great to share on top of that, well then that will just be a bonus! Sound good? <br />
<br />
Today I'll just share a bit of my Halloween decor with you. I normally don't do too much for this spooky holiday, but I guess I was feeling a bit festive (and crafty) this year. <br />

Sometimes you just need to get rid of the clutter and let the design speak for itself. Here, a little goes a long way.

Basically they had less than 24 hours to throw a wedding together and somehow everything turned out beautifully. The bride was able to find a dress the morning of, I took care of the bouquet, another friend took pictures, another brought the cake and everything else just fell into place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was a little nervous about making the bouquet because I don't consider myself the best at flower arranging, but I figured I could make something work. For the colors, the bride requested something dark purple with white daisies. The dark purple was a bit hard to find, so after a trip to several different grocery store floral departments, I ended up with the following flowers to pluck from:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I meant to take more photos during the bouquet making process, but since I was a little stressed about getting it done in time, I didn't get a chance to. Basically I just perused a few wedding blogs to gather inspiration and winged it. I used floral wire and floral tape to secure the stems, keeping the flowers tightly packed in the center and used a little greenery for accent on the outer edges. I then covered the stems with a satin cream colored ribbon and secured it with straight pins. Together with the flowers, ribbon, and supplies, this bouquet cost about $20 and I even had some flowers left over to display in my home!<br />

Ok, most days I dream about living in the country, but this renovated home featured in this month's <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/">Country Living</a> magazine makes me want to even more . There's just something about a big white house with a wrap around porch surrounded by nothing but green as far as the eye can see...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

These stylish bathrooms are inspiring me today. I especially love all of the aqua cabinetry details in the first photo and the metallic wallpaper in the second photo. What details stand out to you?<br />

I'm trying to decide what my favorite part about this fantastic living room is. Is is it the huge round convex mirrors stacked above the fireplace? The bold geometric rug? The zebra curtains that must be at least 30 feet long? Or just the overall simplicity of the room that gives it a clean, modern, uncluttered look? I'm thinking it's the mirrors. Definitely the mirrors.<br />

Do you ever come across a photo of a space and think, "this is so me!"? That is what happened when I found this dining room photo, it had a familiarity about it that made me think I had blogged about it before, even though I know I haven't. Mostly the colors are what draw me in... the aqua, turquoise, and lime give this the fresh & tranquil feeling that I love in a room. The mix of the industrial nautical chairs with the feminine chandelier and venetian mirror are a perfect contrast to one another. If I had a modern beach house, I think my dining room would have this sort of eclectic mix.<br />

I'm in love with this apartment of Nicole, author of the <a href="http://www.sketch42blog.com/">Sketch 42 blog</a>. Everything from the mirrored wall in the dining room, the lucite chairs, the ginormous tufted headboard, and the master bedroom window treatment (designed with the help of <a href="http://www.nickolsenstyle.blogspot.com/">Nick Olsen</a>) are just divine. <br />
<br />
Nicole also has an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/nicolecohen">etsy shop</a> with some very stylish items for the home:<br />
