Faux bamboo

Hey guys! H&M is officially open here in the metroplex. I am waiting for Shep to wake up and then we are off to Northpark. Should I even try to brave the crowds today with an infant? I'll just stuff him to the brim, bring treats for backup and I think he'll be happy!

Today's post is all about bamboo. I think that I went to the edge of overkill with decorating with bamboo. I love it. There are so many pieces of furniture out there now with the bamboo motif. Here are a few of my favorite pieces and spaces. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow...

Busted

Happy hump day everyone! Is anyone else crazy ready for fall? I cannot wait to feel a breeze on my face. Not a sticky humid two second whiff of hotness. But, a long cool fresh breeze. I am dreaming of breezes. 

Today's post is all about busts. I've noticed that they have gradually become more and more popular over the last few years. I love them. I have two up in my own house. If you dig them too, keep your eyes open. I see them at estate sales all the time. Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow...

Findings for shelves...one day

Hey everyone! I hope that you all had a great weekend! We had a pretty laid back few days around here. However, two of my best friends had their #2 babies over the weekend. Welcome to the world Reid and Laney!
I really love where we live. However, there are a few things that I will absolutely keep in mind when we start to search for a new home.

1. Large garage for my finds
2. Great back yard for Shep and cookouts with friends
3. Closet space
4. Interesting built in bookshelves

So, it's number four on my list, but bookshelves make such a beautiful statement if done well. People, don't just fill your shelves to take up space. Be intentional about what you choose. Put your memories there, color coordinate what you choose and be minimal but not to sparse. Fill your rooms with who you are and what you love. I am always on the hunt for lovely things to put in my future bookshelves. I've got a box full that I keep adding to. Here are a few shelves that I was drawn to. Enjoy!

And here are a few things that I found over the weekend!

Mid Century side table $15

Old animal horn $9 Add to the shelf box!

Vintage metal box $12 Perfect for my future bookshelves. 

Vintage envelope opener. Been needing one of those $2

New place to keep my rings. I'm trying to organize my jewelry. More to come on that! $1.50

Until tomorrow...

Let's live

Happy Friday everyone! Today has been a good day. I went to Ikea with an awesome friend, another one of my wonderful friends had her baby, and I finally found a pair of red skinny jeans that fit just right...well, good enough. Don't you just love the weekends? Instant mood booster. Completely off top from above, today's post is all about living rooms. I think that your living room should be your main focus before you work on any other room in your house. It's where you live. It's where I live. My friends would tell you that my living room is always changing. I guess that it true. I like to say it's evolving. But, I love it just how it is right now. Here are some other living rooms that I love. They just work. Enjoy!

Until Monday...

Fourteen months

Where has the time gone? Yesterday marked the fourteenth month of my little man's life. Lately he is into climbing up and down our back step, pushing his wagon and playing with tupperware. He is about to walk any moment. Here's to Shepherd!

 

Until tomorrow...

Ode to Topshop

Happy Monday everyone! It seems like for the past year I have heard more and more about Topshop. Do you all know about it? It's all over every style blog I read. Here are a few outfits that I put together from their fall line. Enjoy!

Could that beaded top be more lovely?

I am having a minor surgery tomorrow, so I'll be out for the Tuesday post. 

Until Wednesday...

Another Meyer wedding

Hey everyone! Can you believe it is August? How can it be? I do believe it because it is scalding here in Dallas. I am about to dig a pool in our backyard it's so hot. Did ya'll have a good weekend? Kirk's little brother got married on Saturday and it was such a fun filled weekend. The Owen family knows how to through a party. I gave them a painting for their wedding gift and it actually turned out to be one of my favorites in a while. I did another one for my show coming up. Here it is.

They had a photo shoot set up at the reception. I love when weddings have these. They actually printed off full photos for the guests. Here are a two of the many we took. 

Congratulations Jules and Dave!!

Until tomorrow...
