Things I'm Loving...

Frances Elkins Loop Chair
Unfortunately, even the replicas aren't in my budget.  But I can still swoon.

Mecox Gardens Driftwood Chandeliers 
Another thing too expensive for my wallet but oh so beautiful.




Ballard Designs Braided Jute Rug 
Jute rugs are great because they can be used in some many different rooms and with so many different styles.  And this one is on sale!

Pottery Barn Grand Chenille Throw
I'm not sure if it's my passion for herringbone patterns or softness that has me craving this one.

Pottery Barn Antique Silver Pitchers
These make me want to go look at antique stores. I have the salt and pepper shakers and ice scoop in this collection and I love them.

Pottery Barn Mercury Glass Lamp
Can you tell I just got sent the new Pottery Barn catalog? :) 
I think I would buy anything made out of mercury glass, but I love the shape of these lamps too.
*Fun fact from Pottery Barn that you'll enjoy if you're a nerd like me - "Mercury glass was first produced in the 19th century as a polish-free alternative to silver."

Wisteria
I receive their catalog and want to dog-ear every page.  They sell all kinds of unique gifts, jewelry, home accessories and furniture.  And apparently they just opened up a new outlet store in Dallas!  I know where I'll be stopping by on my next trip down to the Big D.  Go here to start receiving a catalog yourself.



 Happy shopping and/or dreaming :)

Canopy Stripes

As I mentioned in a previous post, black and white canopy striped fabric is one of my current obsessions. It's classic, clean and oh so elegant. Not to mention that it can make a bold statement in a room without being too flashy. I normally favor a very neutral color palette with accents of greens and robin's egg blues, and this pattern could be put in any such setting and be beautiful. Here a few of my favorite examples: Is this room spectacular or what? It's modern, classic and sophisticated! There is a large amount of stripes in this room, yet it's not overbearing. And the symmetry and clean lines displayed throughout give the room great balance. I could just plop this room right into my house! This is another example (as shown in a previous entry). If you don't have the money to invest in a rug, buy a few pillows and get the same look in your room for a fraction of the price. Whoever said black and brown don't go together was seriously mistaken. Lo

Southern Gentleman Baby Shower

Last month I helped throw my best friend (we met in 9th grade speech class :)) Lauren's baby shower for her soon-to-arrive baby boy, Gunner.  The shower had a "Southern gentleman" theme complete with bow ties, silhouettes and gingham print.  Personal touches and family items were used throughout, including baby Gunner's dad's bow ties :) Gunner's daddy's "going home" outfit greeted guests at the sign in table, along with a framed "Southern gentleman in the making" print. A variety of centerpieces graced the tables with groupings of baby mementos, flowers and photos. An antique baby basket helped house the gifts. The drink menu consisted of milk, apple juice (one of Lauren's cravings), fruit-infused water and coffee. The menu was made of a variety of brunch goodies including fruit, doughnuts, muffins, shrimp and grits, breakfast casserole and a waffle bar.  And of course no shower is comp

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona).  But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl
