Wonderful Water Living

(Glenbrook, Nevada)

Who doesn't want to live on the water?  Architectural Digest shows us a few properties for sale that are well...wonderful.  I'm partial to the lake style living look, but there are some beach properties too.  We can dream right?  Which one is your favorite?  Have a great day!!!

I'm In Love...With Bar Carts

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen the recent photos of my new bar cart.  My style is a combination of Hollywood Regency/contemporary.  Bar carts are so retro, but add a contemporary flare to a room.  Mine is in my kitchen, since I was lucky enough to have a cart there when I moved in. I love the idea of someone coming over, and fixing them a drink out of a gorgeous decanter.  So very soap opera right?  There are no rules about what has to go on your bar cart.  Some don't even have alcohol, but rather old-fashioned sodas.  Make it your own.  You can't go wrong.  Here are a few photos to get you started, and then a few of my own bar cart!  Enjoy!

And here's mine!

The Glitz of Gatsby

I've expressed my excitement over the new film version of The Great Gatsby several times.  And I mean several lol.  The novel is my favorite of all time, and with Baz Lurhmann creating the film, I'm sure it will be simply gorgeous.  Architectural Digest features photos of the sets this month.  The sets are so stunning I have no words.  Take a look.  Do they fulfill your idea of what the text looks like?

Get A Head

I hope you all had a great day...things were going well for me until I found out my dad had been rushed to the hospital with chest pains :-(.  He's still not feeling well and they are keeping him overnight to run some tests.  Please keep him in your prayers.  I will know more tomorrow.

I'm trying to stay busy with a blog post, so ever since I got my new place, I'm dying for a gorgeous new headboard.  I'm not sure I'll find the perfect one, but in the meantime, check out these lovelies.

Plums, Grays, and Creams, Oh My!

Good morning!  It's Wednesday, which means were on our way to the weekend!  I've been running around with mom trying to get everything put together for my new place and it's coming together so cute!  I've decided to do plums, grays, and creams, instead of the cobalt blue.  I love it!  I can't wait to share photos of the new furniture with you!

Here's some photos of my new place without the furniture yet:

What do you think?
