Happy Weekend!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend.  Thanks for all the love this week!  And on a random note, loving these little pouches.

You know, from Freshly Picked - the same cutsie shop that makes these tiny mocs!

I have lots of incredible stuff in store for you next week (including a recap of an amazing party I attended) - can't wait to share!

Eskayel's Era Collection

Have you seen Eskayel's new Era Collection?  Most of you know that I'm a fan of Eskayel if you've seen my Madagascar Wallpaper Hanging in my kitchen.  I've received a lot of inquiries about it.  Perhaps many of your husband's are not fans of wallpaper like my own??  I found an easy solution by getting the wallpaper hanging.  But did you know they also make fabrics and pillows using their prints too?

Aren't they gorgeous??

Oh, and happy weekend.

A Few Sources

Man, the love just keeps pouring in.  Ya'll are great.  Quite inquisitive too.  I've gotten a lot of emails asking for some sources, here are a few of the main ones that were addressed.



Troy Sausalito Pendant in hall that many of you spotted outside of dining room

Cisco Brothers Luccia Sofa {aka best sofa ever}

Edit: You can find a retailer on their site.  I purchased mine from Dwelling, one of my favorite shops.

Sofa pillows from Fabricadabra {these aren't exact but are close}

Eskayel wallpaper hanging in kitchen

Anthropologie curtains in nursery {these aren't exact but are real close}

Rug in nursery is the sweater rug from West Elm

Cy Twombly print

Aidan Gray console table

Restoration Hardware dining table and chairs

I received some questions about the nursery bedding and ottoman.  Those were custom made with Amy Butler fabrics.  The actual iron crib is by Corsican.

The paintings in the nursery were done by Kate Merritt Davis.

The light gray paint color in most of the home is Valspar Lunar Eclipse.  The dark gray name is pewter, I can't remember the brand at this time.  Anyone know?

Hope that helps.  Let me know if there are more questions.

A Nudge In The Right Direction

Who couldn't use a little incentive to make achieving your resolution goals a little sweeter?!  

Out with the old and in with the new.  Fresh cosmetic bags will help you declutter your vanity drawer.

Why not make your new diet a little more attractive to the eye?  Invest in some new dishes (even if just one plate or bowl) to make those restrained meals feel a little more like a splurge.

Calendar Roundup

Can you believe that it's almost 2011.  Where has 2010 gone?  I guess what my Dad has always said is true, the years do seem to fly by faster as you get older. 
Along with a new year comes a new calendar.  Here are some of my favorites that I've seen floating around the web.
