Just a Heads Up.....

I may or may not be consistent this summer with my posts.  Today my kids and I went to the waterpark we attend yearly.  Wow, was it nice to get out of the house.  Did it rain on us?  Yes, but at least I was outdoors!  I really think that I may want to spend more time enjoying my kids instead of sitting at the computer.  You know what I mean?  So this is my warning and request for forgiveness ahead of time!  I'm loving the beachy/coastal look today. (Probably because I saw a million light blue sun umbrellas that reminded me of Coastal Living!)

I'm definitely inspired by blues, wicker, and paintings right now.  How can you resist?!

Drapery Dilemma....

My son's room faces the East.  So every morning he wakes up literally at the crack of dawn.  My husband and I have had it with the 5:30 a.m. wake up calls (or yells depending on the little man's mood).  The problem is that my son has a huge bay window in his room and then a half-moon window above that.  So in order to completely be able to block out the light I'm going to have to buy very wide curtains as well as very tall! They're almost going to be floor to ceiling length because we have very high ceilings.

 I'm thinking this natural burlap panel from Ballard Designs is what I'm going to buy.  The reviews say that it blocks out light magnificently.

If you have these panels or a solution to this problem, please, please let me know what your thoughts are! 

I'm quite literally losing sleep over this.  

Sun...Sunshiney Daaaayyyy!!!!

I Love yellow.  It makes me think of summer which is just around the corner.  I love these summery, yellow images.

Yeah, I know where I'd be for hours with a good book if these were my libraries.

Anne Hepfer Interiors

I love this living room by Anne Hepfer.  I saw it and instantly fell head first over the pops of orange and red throughout the room.  I love the florals, solids, and patterns in this room.  See, this couch?

Yep, I'm in love.  Who said you couldn't find love at first sight?  Not me! 

This just brightens my Monday. 

How 'bout you?

Just an Observation....

Last week I was doing my usual blog stalking and thought, "Wow, I've seen about a million different animal pattern, fur, or hide rugs." So I decided to save those images.  Would you believe that I found so many in a week that I can't and don't even want to post all of them!  But, for your enjoyment, here are the ones I have saved.  You can also see the blogs I love, so I guess this is a twofer!

I'm thinking the Zebra hide rugs are a want on my wish list!
