Eskayel Collection

Recently I discovered Eskayel's collection of wallpaper and fabrics.  If you read Bijou & Boheme then you've seen them too.   Eye candy, I tell you.

It's not yet the right time to persuade my husband into another wallpapered room in our house (you have to wait for the perfect moment to spring it on wallpaper haters, am I right?!).  But I do have a wall in the kitchen that's begging for help.  You can't see it in this image that I recently shared because I ever so subtly cropped it out...

{The island actually is not blue like it looks in the picture, it's the same shade of grey as the ceiling.}

But there is an empty wall just to the right of the glass door.  I ordered a wall hanging of this pattern to make it all happy and giddy.

I'm sure there will be an update post when she arrives to her new and happy home.

Tim Will Photography

Ready to meet yet another one of my talented friends?  Tim Will may concentrate his photography skillz on weddings, but frankly he's an image snapping extraordinaire.  Check out his latest spread for Savannah Magazine.

Pretty good, huh?!  Here are a few from some of his past shoots for Savannah Magazine.

What's even more mind boggling is that really he belongs behind the camera himself.  Here he is with his gorgeous wife, Sarah, and son, Dominic.  (They just recently added another boy, Ben, to their family)

And as I said, he focuses on wedding photography.  I pulled some of my favorite shots (hard to do).

So... who needs a wedding photographer??  Josh, can we get married again so he we can use Tim?  Or maybe a family photo will do...

Some Valentine's Hints For The Guys

Valentine's Day is just a short month out.  Truly one of the girliest holidays there is.  If your dude could use some pointers, send him this here post.

Forget the roses this year.  Peonies are arguably every girl's favorite flower.  And this dried peony wreath will last a lot longer than a bouquet of roses.  The End.

available here at William Sonoma.  (Online only)

If you choose to head down the chocolate route you'll win major points by surprising her with something a little more original.  Have a local chocolatier?  Go there.  If not, I can personally vouch for these Cocoa Covered Truffles from 5th Avenue Chocolatiere in NYC.  Ridiculous good.  And they're well presented in a wooden box and ship too. 

Good luck.

I feel a romantic spring in the air...

The check blouse with the floral skort is killing me.  They were meant to be together.
