Out & About

Today I will be guest blogging in 2 different places!

I will be on Ally's blog...
Discussing one of my favorite trends- wallpaper.

I will also be on Averill's blog...
With some of my "go-to" resources.

Hope you enjoy!

In The Detail...

This picture from the Anthropologie is eye catching to say the least...
But the best part is the detailing on the chair-the tufting, the contrast welt, the buttons up the arms, casters on the legs...And of course the back-
Thank you everyone for the Charleston recommendations, I wrote them all down!

Charleston Calling

This weekend I am going to Charleston to spend time with some of my favorite people. While I am there I hope to see some of the legendary beautiful homes like this one....
See the old airplane model?

Choosing Sides

A few weeks ago I was home visiting my parents when I spied this cart. It had been sitting in the basement, left from the previous owners, and somehow I had missed it until now.
So it came home with me and now resides as our new side table in the den.
I had the top cut out of left over marble and asked them to keep the bottom unfinished. I love the clean feel of the marble against the worn down wood but I wanted part of the marble to be imperfect as well.
I wish I knew the story behind it. We are thinking it might be a coal cart with the unique wheels but I would love to hear any guesses.
While the old side table was a hand me down that I did nothing for me, I loved what was underneath it. I had this vintage suitcase underneath with books stacked on top....now I will have to find it a new home.

Quiet Time

The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:18-19

Today...

Today I turn one year older (the last of my 20's for those of you wondering) and I hope to have some time to sit, relax and just be still. My birthday wish would be for that sitting place to look like this...
And while I really "need" exciting items such as new tires (ugh don't get me started) I hope to get one thing that I "don't need"...perhaps this....
A mini polaroid camera!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! If you are waiting for an e-mail from me I promise to catch up soon.
