girl meets glamour

If you're bored...


maybe find a painting project...like this weekend I'm painting the insides of my closets (yes, it's loads of fun), but I saw this door on Desire to Inspire blog a while back, and thought...what a good idea! Take a rustic white door and add some color...what do you think?

It's Friday, I'm in lo...


So, I just so happen to be browsing the magazine section at the local bookstore yesterday (like I do regularly, cause who needs books when you've got magazines, right?!?...just kidding!), and I came across the image above, featuring a lovely blend of "Chinoiserie" and "Grandma Chic" style, that just won my heart so much I had to share!!


The bed above is covered in several Kenzo cushions, which you can buy here...


After seeing this "Pavilions & Parasols" wallcovering in installation, I'm sold...it's available through Sanderson Co.


**Enjoy and Happy Friday! Hope you have a great weekend!!**
