My fair princess.....

Believe it or not my daughter (who just had her 3rd birthday) already has a defined style.
Her personality is full entertainment and quirkiness. She walks around our house writing songs about pink frogs and telling stories of princesses who wear orange dresses and get timeouts because they ate to many pickles. She loves to reposition all of my pillows. If it were up to her she would wear tulle skirts, her brothers t-shirts and tube socks all day everyday. She is her own person. And that is why I dedicate the room below to Eden Jo. xxoo

A lovely red light....

So, did you light off lots of fireworks? Did you eat until you couldn't eat anymore? Did you spend time with people that mean much to you? I did, did and did:) It was a great weekend!

Happy Independance Day!!

I pray that everyone has a great weekend with those you love celebrating our country. See you all next week! xx

Ceramics don't usually catch my eye and I am not a ceramic expert but these precious pieces caught my eye!

Across the street...

There is something inspiring about being able to catch a glimpse into real peoples homes. I love that everyone has there own unique style to offer. It challenges me to think outside the box and design spaces that are me. Below are a few new furniture purchases and lovely room setups by some of your favorite bloggers. Enjoy....

Anna Spiro from Absolutely Beautiful Things purchased these pretty pale pink roses and displayed them on her chest of drawers in her bedroom. What a great scene to wake up to in the morning!
Jennifer from A Merry Mishap bought this swivel based Herman Miller chair for her nursery. I cant wait to see more images of her nursery in the future!
Don't you just love this Le Souk pendant?? Danielle from The Style Files recently added this to her newly renovated home.
I am very pleased with Urban Outfitters right now. They have been selling some great stuff for the abode. Jennifer from Made By Girl just received this couch for her office. I love yellow!!
