YLighting Shade Lamp

>> Friday, October 29, 2010

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a spooktacular Halloween :) Are you guys dressing up?


Me & the Mr. will be dressing up, I absolutely love Halloween, so of course we are! What are our costumes? Well, I will be dressing up as Juno, along with every other pregnant woman in the US ;) And the Mr? He's pretty stoked I'm not making him wear a mask this year...funny that he'd rather wear short-shorts than a mask, huh? Don't ask, lol. Crap, that reminds me, I need to buy some Sunny Delight!

OK, well enough small talk, onto the Chic Find of the day! Thanks to a loyal reader for this one :)

My Equestrian Estate

>> Thursday, October 28, 2010

I thought it might be fun to take a little tour through fantasy land :) I'm going to share a little fact with you guys that you probably didn't know. I am a full blown, no doubts about it, hay in my hair...horse lover. I have been since I was a little girl. I think it started when I was four and my Mom had pony rides at my birthday party. I was a goner.



Back to the present though, I'd like to officially introduce you to my gorgeous, superstar of a horse, Cristof. He really knows how to put a girl to shame ;) Here's a picture of us last summer.

Cristof is a Friesian, yep, just like Martha Stewart's horses. And I'm sure you've all seen pictures of the amazing stables she created for her horses...Now, I'd like to give you a tour of what our "future" home will be. Won't you join me? ;)

>> Wednesday, October 27, 2010

Hey Peeps, if you're in LA, love DIY and you & your significant other are looking to score $25,000 for a home makeover check out the press release I just got from TLC!

The TLC network is looking for fun, outgoing couples who live together in the Los Angeles area for their new home makeover show “Our House.”

The concept: We give you $25,000 and three weeks to do whatever you want to your home’s interior. You can re-floor, re-furnish, break down walls, install extreme fixtures and make it your dream house! And you have to do it all YOURSELF! (with a little help from your friends and the occasional plumber).

We're looking for married couples, dating couples, new home owners, long-time residents, couples who are strapped for cash and couples who just need a change. Whatever your story -- as long as you own your house and want TLC to pay you to re-invent it -- we want to hear from you!

Please send an email to OurHouseCasting@gmail.com with both of your names and ages, a phone number, your house’s location, photos of you both and a brief explanation of why you want to makeover your home.

Here's the breakdown clockwise from the top left:

Organic White Linen for the custom crib bedding
Dutch Boy Refresh Paint: Elegant White DW37 & Fountain Blue E7-1
Williams Sonoma Home Black & White Striped Rug (no longer available on their website)
Robert Allen Vintage Plumes Fabric in Jade also for the custom crib bedding

Working on getting the walls painted and the bedding ordered. Here's what the room looks like right now...yikes. Do I have my work cut out for me or what? ;)



At least most of the office furniture is now out of the room and in storage. As you can see it still has the old paint & drapes. By the way, anyone interested in buying some Pottery Barn Velvet Drapes in Wheat (50"x84")? lol.
