2014....

I rang in 2014 with change! I purchased my little house and moved in last December. I spent a good part of this year renovating it......I'm so close to being finished!! Eek. I've done it on a budget and am pretty happy with the results! 2015 will bring the finished product photos (I got a new camera for Christmas!!) and a slew of other goodies! Thanks for your patience.  In the past I've posted a "what I have learned" segment on New Year's Eve. Tonight I will do the same but I am keeping it short and sweet..Before I share my list, I want to thank each and every one of you for the support, comments, and emails this year! Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!! xoxoxo I've had some pretty crazy things going on in my life over the past five years. There was a question on Family Feud (yes, I watch it!) the other night: 1 being not so much, 10 being YES : Would your life make a good reality series? My life the past five years? Yes! an 8 for sure...I...

Love the look - New Year's Eve

Big plans for New Year's Eve?? I'm going to lay low this year with my kids, Matty and hopefully a few others! I won't dress up too much but I'll wear something a bit festive. Here is a great outfit for a night in with friends, a toast of bubbly and yummy food! All links below... 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 I may also take the time to make a seafood or clam chowder for either New Year's Eve or for this weekend when we head up to Vermont! This seafood chowder looks delicious.   via this site. seafood chowder 2.0 . . . Seafood Chowder 2.0 recipe: inspired by Rose Dyer and Jackie Huskins This chowder is very much like Beaucoup Seafood Chowder, but better, because I added a little of 2.0 and his family.

Merry Christmas Eve + a few of my favorite things!

I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a wonderful holiday!! Thanks for stopping by my little old blog when you can. I truly appreciate it! It feels good to know that my time spent inspires someone! (even for an instant). Here's a recap of what is on my mind and what I am loving. (crazy day so this is the non photo-shopped version). Images in order: 1. Full wreaths and big bows!! We're fans of those around here. My wreath looks very similar to this one but I added a cool looking bird I found to it! 2. Here is a snap shot of my daughter helping me make sugar cookies yesterday. My sis, Mom and our children spent the day baking and decorating. I won't lie it was much calmer when my daughter was there alone but we had a great time and made over 150 cookies! Yum! P.S. Bakers usually roll dough on marble counter tops. I'm not sure if it was the dough or the marble but the cookies rolled out beautifully. 3. These are NOT our cookies but I would love to decorate some like th...

Classic Christmas, Aerin Lauder style...

There are some wealthy taste makers out there who continually get it right..I've always admired Aerin Lauder's style. It's mostly classic with a twist (except for her fabulous ski house ). I remembered she had done a number of holiday inspired photo shoots, so I thought it may be fun to round them up....

Holiday Traditions..

I can't believe it is actually Christmas week...I still have quite a bit to do to get ready but I also want to make time for holiday traditions and a bit of down time! One of our family's traditions has always been to receive a new pair of Christmas pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve. My mom always gave us an adorable new pair to kick off the gift giving..She has now carried on this tradition for her grandchildren. I can't help but want to continue this tradition for my self and boyfriend. (not sure he will even wear pajama bottoms but it's worth a shot). There is something nice about waking up in a new pair of pajamas on Christmas morning. They are also great to take along for your winter get aways and ski trips. I don't know about you but when traveling with friends and family I would much rather look cute and coordinated.  The above pair shown is #4. image via . 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

Love the look - holiday sparkle

I've been thinking about my holiday outfits and what I am going to put together. My look for Christmas and New Year's eve just wouldn't be complete without a bit of sparkle..Here's a selection of some of my favorites this year!! Jenna has such an effortless look. (top right) 1. The Lulu Frost designs are some of my favorites. Her prices are a bit higher but the pieces have a one of a kind look and the quality is beautiful. 2. There is something so sweet about bows.. Bow ring 3. By Lauren Hope: I am buying this to layer with my other bracelets. It looks great!! 4. So pretty ... 5. I don't wear much red but a ruby ring i s perfect this time of year! 6. I seem to collect J. Crew necklaces . They look fabulous! 7. Multi glitter earring , nuff said. 8. I love emerald stones and these statement earrings from Kate Spade.

Happy Wednesday!! Here is what caught my eye this week..There are lots of beautiful things out there to admire this time of the year!! 1. + 2. I couldn't find the exact shoes Grasie Mercedes is wearing but I am LOVING the navy satin for this time of year! These are similar . I'm liking Grasie's off beat style too. Read her blog here . 3. My New Year's resolution..I am working on this!! My friends and I literally have "bitch" sessions..hehe..We consider it free therapy. 4. A simple holiday table. This idea would be fun for a brunch table! 5. Okay, so I need to settle on something sparkly for the holidays. This one is on sale today !! 6. I cannot lie, I love a girlie bedroom!! I am especially loving the drapes..

Deck the Mantel!

Holla! I'm running a bit behind with my holiday decorating this year.....I hope to finish up my mantel tonight or maybe tomorrow night. I'm trying not to drink wine on Monday and Tuesdays..There is something about the holiday season that makes you feel slightly like a glutinous lush, no?? I am thinking I will need a glass of wine in hand to take on the project with two kids under foot! I've rounded up some inspiration today...I've included ideas for the traditionalist, the modernist and everyone in between. Did you happen to see Jenny's mantel on the Domino website? Loved it... (where does this lady find the time??) I actually had the privilege of working with Jenny on a design challenge once. Our ideas meshed well, she's great! Jenny's mantel and a slew of others... Get this exact look here via Little Green Notebook + Domino magazine . ( little green notebook ) For the young at heart For the naturalist For the modernist For the traditionalist For the purist...

Gift Guide - For the home...

Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing one of my favorite gift guides! Ideas for the  Decorista in your life... There is still plenty of time to place orders and receive your gifts before Christmas. Here is my round up. 1. Nate Berkus for Target ...Love me a little Nate. 2. Baskets to organize the toys and other things in life. 3. Nice candles are worth the money. They smell pretty (not too sweet) and burn forever. 4. Monogrammed plates . I love almost anything with a monogram. 5. A gorgeous pillow makes a nice gift! (or a gift to yourself) 6. Beautify someones front door . 7. The iconic Zebra design is now available in a glass ! Love!  8. Holla ! 9. An  instant classic . 10. This lamp would add a touch of glamour to any home!

Happy Thursday!! I am loving glitter and prettiness galore this week! Sparkly details beat the cold, winter like blues!  1.+ 2.  I adore layered necklaces like Liz's . Purchase similar versions here and here . J. Crew is still hosting 30% off and free shipping. 3. Simple greens and red berries make such a pretty statement. They have also used magnolia leaves here. I am decorating my tree with the kids tonight...I'll be decorating my mantel and front door this week. Where is this month going?? 4. To complete the layered necklace look just add a white sweater !! This is also on sale!! 5. So True!!! 6. These earrings would be the perfect accent with a simple holiday outfit. 7. Do you dream of building a house someday? I would love to have the ability to customize an entire home. It would definitely house a desk area to organize the tons of paper work that comes home every week!

My Thanksgiving table

Today I am thrilled to share my Thanksgiving table with you all! As most of you know I hosted in my little house. I don't have a large family, so it wasn't an issue. I had a fire lit (thanks to Matty) and served all of my favorite dishes.  Along with turkey we had candied sweet potatoes, whipped mashed potatoes, green beans, homemade stuffing and apple pie. The table setting mixed both vintage and new elements, including dessert dishes that have been in my family for years. The small dogs on the bar table were also my Grandmothers. My children and I gilded the pumpkins together to prep for the day and my assistant, Meg and my Mom helped me set the table. A great event isn't complete without a stocked bar! I included the bar area photos too. You can also get a glimpse of my message center area. You have to make great use of every inch of space in a small home!  Cheers, I hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of my home. I also wanted to thank the photographer  Ann - Marie Rollo f...
