Wow how the time flies in between blogs! It has been so hectic and nutty around here! I know, I know.. I'm not the only one with a lot going on so it's no excuse! But, this morning, things slowed down a bit and I had time to get on my beloved Mac and do some blog hopping and create a blog post myself!
I was driving home from a soccer game last Saturday and saw this little fella just sitting on someone's driveway garage sale at 10:30. I thought to myself, "what in the world is a chair like that still sitting at a garage sale at 10:30"!! So of course I pulled over and got myself an amazing deal on an amazing antique chair! I am so excited to recover this beaut! As you can tell, it's in storage along with all our other belongings (as we wait for our home to close on October 3rd!) so, until then Mr. Chair!

Aren't these curtains beautiful? The whole bathroom is amazing, but the curtains just totally stuck out to me!
I love the simple elegance of this room. The mirrors on the wall are perfectly hung (sometimes when people try this technique it can look a bit cluttery). This room has nice clean lines but still allows for a "home-y, lived-in feeling".
I absolutely love this room. I am a huge fan of color because I feel it makes a home "a home". I love the combination of yellows with the mint oversized chair. Beautifully done!
Isn't this a fabulous glass bottle collection? The mirror behind the bottles was a brilliant choice! Love it!
I have finally started putting my "idea notebook" together which consists of hundreds (maybe thousands?) of magazine clippings and printouts of pictures from the wonderful blogs I visit who provide such beautiful pictures! Thank you all for the inspiration! There are SO many ways to go when decorating a home, it's hard to narrow it down! But that is the beauty of design; you can change and rearrange any time you like!

Hi pretty lady:
I love those chairs and glad you are back to blogging. I regrettably will not be making the barn sale this weekend. Too much going on in my little world. Lots of love to you and perhaps next month.
Love,

Love the new chair - what a bargain - can't wait to see how you redesign it. Also, congrats on the upcoming closing. I'm sure you can't wait to get your hands on it and start the decorating process. :)
Oh I love that chair...can't wait to see what it looks like when you re-do it!
