hope your halloween is filled with lots of spooky fun! taylor is lucky enough to get to go trick or treating with all of her grandparents. i can't wait to see what she thinks about halloween...this is the first year she will really understand what is going on! i am also excited about eating her candy :)

DIY trim

I know I have been MIA lately, and yes I have been busy planning the Halloween party, working, working and well... more working! But I did have just a little time to add some trim to my 70's front hall closet. It's not quite done yet, it needs to be painted still and the top cupboard is still missing its trim, but so far I am very pleased what a little trim can do, instant update!

Stay tuned my blogger friends as I am working on the kitchen next...

The Before...

The After

three beautiful girls....

i thought it would be fun to take each of these girls and create their bedrooms....girlie with a vintage flair, rock and roll trendsetter, and dainty with a love for nature.

in case you didn't know...

i am a HUGE fan of graphic wallpaper. in fact, i think every house i live in should have at least one wallpapered room....

on another note, i have a big/exciting week ahead of me....can't wait to share :)

good morning.

i'd love to walk down those stairs, plop on that amazing settee (only i don't know if barron could sit on it- he'd take up the entire thing), and wait for an incredible breakfast to appear in that beautiful kitchen....hey, remember i'm a dreamer......

green with envy.
