A Bright Light & The Dark Side

This image makes me want to paint something BRIGHT....
Although while looking on West Elm I was drawn back to the dark side...this rug is on my short list...hmmm, so is that lumbar pillow...and the far side table too...
And I love this light even more in gray....I just can't help myself!
Love this room, the whole look, very cool light...

California Cool

This weekend while I logged many hours in the car I was able to catch up on some magazine reading. I loved seeing Ashley Tisdale's house in InStyle (June). Her house is playful which is nice because she is young, but well edited and tailored which lend a mature look as well.
How cozy is that bed? You know how I LOVE to look in closets...
I had to include this picture because of the Louis coffee table...
And possibly the best part...

Quiet Time

Katie left this in the comments last week and I thought it was so relevant I had to post it today:

If you merely pretend that you enjoy God or love Him, He knows.
You can’t fool Him; don’t even try. Instead, tell Him how you feel.
Tell Him that He isn’t the most important thing in this life to you,
and that you are sorry for that. Tell Him that you’ve been lukewarm,
that you’ve chosen _____________ over Him time and again.
Tell Him that you want Him to change you, that you long to genuinely enjoy Him.
Tell Him how you want to experience true satisfaction and pleasure and
joy in your relationship with Him. Tell Him you want to love Him more than
anything on this earth. Tell Him you want to experience the kingdom of heaven so much so that you’d willingly sell everything in order to get it.
Tell Him what you like about Him, what you appreciate, what brings you joy.

Pretty, Pretty

I am off to my weekend in Charleston! I can't wait to spend a few days with just the girls! I wanted to end the week with a pretty ad that really caught my eye...Doesn't Hermes do the best ads? Remember these...
I hope you have a great weekend!
