Hello everyone!  It’s Elizabeth and Annie from THE NOW.  We’re thrilled to be guest blogging on TTS today… after all, Alex is one of our blogging besties! 
Today we’re taking you on a little tour of our dream home.  Well, make that our dream NOW Getaway.  Every blogging duo needs one, right?  After all, we both live in Dallas with our guys (E with her hubby, and A with her hubby-to-be), but wouldn’t it be nice to have that perfect, girly getaway to jet off to every once in awhile?  Our dream home is located in Manhattan, and there’s plenty of room for the two of us to have master suites of our own.  Plus, we threw in a darling bunk room for our little nieces and nephews.  Oh, and for any of you who want to come visit us!  

Check it out! 

xoxo E & A
Ok quick note from Alex – This might’ve been one of my all time favorite posts, you girls created the house of my dreams!! Can we all move to NYC and create it ASAP???

I think I have the worst luck traveling of anyone I’ve ever known (remember when my Africa trip got flat out canceled after a year of planning?). I showed up at the airport yesterday to fly to NYC and my flight was delayed… indefinitely. They said if I boarded there was a risk we’d sit on the tarmac all day. For a 24 hour trip, and a very likely possibility of being delayed on my way out tomorrow, I just couldn’t do it. So, so sad to have missed out on meeting so many amazing bloggers. Well, what can you do? There’s always next year right?
Moving on… I’m in the never ending process of redoing my bedroom. Remember when I had you all vote on your favorite combinations? Well the boy nixed all options.Oh boys.
So I love the idea of bright white and beautiful bits of rich color.

Realistically, my bedroom won’t end up like this. The white walls and cool colors aren’t quite livable for me. Most likely I’ll end up with neutrals and one bold fabric like my initial voting post suggested. Something like this…

These two bedrooms are my all time favorites! The perfect balance between neutrals and color.
How do you like your bedrooms? Warm and neutral? Bright and colorful? Solid or patterned?

I hope you have enjoyed these posts! You can see the past ones here and here. 
And now… here are this week’s obsessions!
My new phone that is arriving today! I am the biggest advocate for blackberries but damn am I bored of mine. The technology has not advanced in decades. Its just time to make the switch. Wish me luck!

Update: Absolutely NOT using this for my bench. Costs $300 a yard. Sad sad sad.

This perfectly gorgeous image which is now my desktop… and potentially my new phone cover through this website where you can upload your own image!
The most precious little puppy I’ve ever seen. Yes that’s someone else’s dog I took a picture with… her name is Tofu. We’re soulmates
SPRING and the beautiful interiors that remind me of it. Dying over this bedroom. Its just pretty much perfect. (via)
Have an amazing weekend! Thank you for all of your incredibly sweet comments this week about my home. It made me smile all week long.
xoxo

Dont you just love the impact that art has in a room? I know I do a post like this every couple months, but wow, a piece of colorful artwork can totally transform a space.

I was recently introduced to Amber Interiors after seeing her “One Room, 3 Looks” post. Amber styled her bedroom three different ways and it gives the room a completely different look each time. The post was such a success (I see why!) that she is starting a new series based off this idea. Today I am guest posting for this series and hope you will stop by and take a look! 
Just a taste… Amber’s bedroom, 3 looks.

There is nothing better than amazing architectural elements…
This molding and those floors
That arch…
Those beams!

I’ll admit it… don’t throw things at me… I initially wanted the wainscoting in my apartment removed… the developer was horrified. It just felt out of place in a new construction, city condo. They convinced me to keep it. Some days I love it. Others not so much. But it definitely adds character and thats something I definitely dont mind.

Do you have any amazing detailing in your home??

Oh and also… based on your AMAZING reaction to my vote post yesterday, I’m thinking I should do those everyday! Just kidddding, but seriously wow. And just so you all know… I think I’m going with A, but want to buy B for my bedroom. Someone want to finance my lighting addiction?

Have a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for all of your encouraging comments this week. You are all seriously amazing. xoxo

Last night I wore my favorite new blush, colored top and decided… its my favorite color. Really, its perfect. 


And why I love the color even more…I’m blushing. Blushing from all of your sweet comments yesterday on my little Valentine’s Day Table. You are all seriously amazing.

I am in love with this screen from one of my favorite shops, Pieces. But its gorgeous isnt it? Just the right amount of detailing. Still simple and clean. Yumm.

Which is your favorite use, as a headboard or as a mirror?

Glam Lamb

I also really love the chandelier in the last picture, trying to use it in a client’s guest bedroom. The little circular bulbs completely change the look dont they?
