I want...I need...

This here ottoman from West Elm for my family room.   

It's oh so perfect in so many ways.

Saving up starts now.

West Elm obsessed

I've always had an obsession with this store--- my two latest loves are these recycled glass vases and watercolor pillow.

Fabric and Paint Colors: Dining Room

We are renovating our dining room right now and I'm loving it.  The only thing I can't decide on is a fabric to re-cover our chair cushions. The dining room chairs and dining table are black and the paint colors in the room are Behr's Ivy Topiary and Martha Stewart's Sultana (from Home Depot).  Below the paint colors are my top choices for the chairs.  I'm leaning towards the last swatch- love the pop of color! Although my hubs would probably think it's too crazy... ;)

2 summer weddings: 2 styles

I have two weddings this summer- one a downtown wedding, and one a country club wedding. Here is what I will be wearing...

Downtown Wedding:

Dress is by Max & Cleo from Von Maur

Shoes are Chinese Laundry {from a wedding I stood up in}

Earrings are from Nordstrom

Country Club Wedding:

Dress & Earrings from J Crew
Shoes are another pair of bridesmaid shoes (those really come in handy!)

photo fun

One might think you need a fancy and expensive camera to get the beautiful option of sepia tone or black and white. Not true! As long as you have internet, you can transform any color photo easy as 1, 2, 3.

Just create an account at http://www.photobucket.com/ (its free), and start uploading your photo(s). Once photos are uploaded you can use the edit tools to alter the image in many ways! See how great a little change will do? Shown below- my adorable little nephew Maximilian, and one of my favorite photos from my wedding.
