Warm weather makes me......

a little forgetful about doing posts.  Forgetful is actually a bad word.  I don't forget, I just really want to be outside!  So forgive me for my negligence.  This dining set is my summer want since I'm always wanting to be soaking in the sun!

Isn't this Dexter Dining Collection from West Elm the best?  I love the rusticity of it all.  The plates are just too cute to pass up too!

What's your summer want?

I just love these two living rooms designed by Jimmy Stanton.

I mentioned earlier that my daughter has been losing her hair.  In addition to dr's appointments and everyday running around, my internet has been out!  So here's to a new week!  Wish us luck for the next dr's appointment!

I love that purple room.   Perfect images to start my week.

A Great End Table

I've been looking for a round, pedestal, side table for the family room.  The problem has been that I just can't find one that suits me.  The last  couple of Christmas's my parents have gotten us a piece of furniture.  I told my mom that I was looking for a side table kind of like this:

From Home Decorators

Never doubt a stylish mother.  She got me an even better table from the same place!  It's white, round, has decorative decals and is a pedestal table!  I'm in love!

 Notice the pillow and the iphone on the floor?  My hubs was lounging in his underwear and I made him move for the picture.  He was definitely annoyed at his comfort being disturbed! At least the blinds were closed!

As you can see, I took too long and they had to sit down to lounge again.  Will I ever learn?  

NEVER!

There's nothing better than looking at successful "Before and Afters."  I feel that I've started this year already lacking motivation in finishing projects that I haven't even started!  Today is a new day.  I'm writing my resolutions and finding ways to stay motivated!  

There's strength in positive thinking!....Isn't there?
