I've been searching for a Parson's console for a while to put behind our sofa on the big feature wall in the living room.

I'm so excited to share the photos of my baby shower with you. Cori, Jess, and Katy really went above and beyond in the planning, decor, and nibbles for the party (do I see an event planning company in someone's future?).

I love this mirrored wall idea. Casey did a similar version in the new Design on a Dime.DIY courtesy of Lonny BlogTrying to figure out where I could do this. Any suggestions?

Someday a couple of these iconic Hans Wegner Wishbone Chairs would look pretty fab across from our breakfast room table and future built-in window seat.... From overstock.com.Yes, I have the same addiction problem with chairs as I do with lamps. If it were up to me, our house would probably just be a collection of chairs, lamps and throw pillows.
