I just found out that I won the Saffron Marigold giveway over at Emily Henderson's blog. Super excited. It was hard to decide what I wanted - they have such a great collection of beautiful Indian textiles. In the end, I chose this awesome Dance O Peacock table cloth. It will be a great addition to my entertaining arsenal. Thanks Emily! Read more
This weekend was full of DIY and home improvement. When we had the guest room wall built a couple months ago, we had our contractor replace the wavy glass shower enclosure with a more traditional L-shaped rod (better for bathing future baby and more in keeping with the style of our house). We got clear shower curtain liners but hadn't really gone beyond that. I found this great Tokyo Garden... Read more
Last weekend we stopped in at World Marketon our way to the hardware store. As usual, they had some great finds. I had been searching for some sort of light fixture for our powder room - the old ugly one was discarded when Scott's parents painted the room. I wanted something more pendant-like (versus a flush mount) but that didn't hang too low. Also, it had to illuminate the room sufficiently. So... Read more
So before I get so baby belly big that I can't move at all, we figured we had better get a few more home improvement projects crossed off the list. This weekend should be our DIY Home Depot Shelving extravaganza (with some Labor Day bocce ball festivities thrown in). I've already featured Morgan from the Brick House's DIY chandeliers. I have not attempted the chandelier as yet, but we are going... Read more

A friend just forwarded me this awesome table that Sarah Summers created as DIY project. It was recently featured on Design Sponge. Now, I have enough DIY's and other tasks that need to be completed prior to TBD's arrival, so sadly I won't be able to add this to the list. With a brass base this would look pretty fabulous in our living / dining space (perhaps something to put on the concept board... Read more
I'm working on putting together a concept board for our living room. Scott loved the board I did for the Baby's Room so much that he decided I should do one for each area of our house. Now some areas are simpler and therefore don't need boards, but I've tired of the orange in the living room, so I think putting a board together for my new grey / wheat scheme is not a bad idea. I've been looking... Read more

One of my favorite to-the-trade sources Arteriors has come out with some great new stuff recently. I'm really digging their new lighting collection, much of which is by Laura Kirar. She has such a great eye - modern yet classic with a funky twist. Wishing I had a bigger house purely for the opportunity for more lamps, pendants and sconces! Read more
I discovered Spoonflower through Jenny's blog Little Green Notebook. What a cool site! You design your own fabric and they will custom print it! At just over 16 bucks a yard, that's not bad for custom. Now I'm trying to come up with fun ideas for custom fabric. In the meantime though, you can order from previous designs. Here is a smattering of some of my faves. I'm thinking shower curtain of... Read more
