Chanel Black Pearl nailpolish. I was given this as a “thank you” from a friend last week and am COMPLETELY in love. Its the perfect dark color without being black.

Bright artwork against a dark backdrop. Its perfection.

Jessica Alba and Jennifer Aniston’s new straight bobs.  I used to have this haircut. The boyfriend loved it, me not to so much. Now my hair is crazy long and I am very tempted…

My slightly belated Valentine’s Day present. So, so worth the wait. I cannot wait for the weather to wear these.

Navy & grey. Does it get better??

Hope you enjoyed the new little series! If I keep having interesting things to share, I’ll keep it coming. Yes? What did we think?

Is there anything more perfect than cream or white paired with grey? And even better when there are pops of geometric patterns, black and colorful flowers.

This is exactly where my living room takes inspiration from. One day I will get my walls repainted and my couches reupholstered, and you’ll see. Sound far away? Hopefully not. Making baby steps everyday.




So with this… does anyone have recommendations for a nice, middle value grey? Here is the thing… can’t have too much red (goes totally purple in my space), but don’t want too much blue either (too cold for me). The best I’ve found so far is Anonymous by Behr at 25%. Any other ideas?

And PS thank you all for your sweet comments about my sisters work, glad we share the admiration. She’s a talented little one isn’t she?

And PPS that last, gorgeous entry way belongs to a fellow blogger! Aren’t you in love?

theres something airy and luxurious in these rooms. even though they are all so different, they have some similar quality that i cant quite put my finger on. but i love it.

GREY. in the b.e.s.t possible way. love it all.

there are three things (well lets be honest, there are a lot more than three, but these are the three im closest to) that i need to check off my list to get this condo a little closer to being completed:

1. repaint the entire freaking common space. enough with you purple. you are hideous.
2. new kitchen pendants. the specs ones put in by the builder aren’t doing it for me
3. wallpaper my entry stairwell with maya romanoff knock off wallpaper, much higher durability (thank you, DL Couch)

that piece of art + grey shiny walls. LOVE IT

love this. rooms like this will forever feed my obsession with grey.

PS get a new coffee table and get rid of your man sculpture, ASAP people

it is no secret that i like art. and i think i have enjoyed the search for a piece for my dining room more than anything. thats why its still not over

this piece is a lot of fun. love the combination of grey and white, with a splash of pink. also a “relatively” reasonable price for a large piece. UGALLERY has some pretty cool stuff, and i have found it a little more easy to navigate than etsy (shh).

a reader shared this house with me, and i fell in love. had to show all of you! this is exactly what a cottage should look like. lots of woods, a warm, inviting color palate ( = grey). that bedoom, that eating nook, that entry… well all of it, i am in love with. to see even more pictures of this gorgeous getaway go to: desire to inspire

thanks for sharing baby june!
