Antlers Mania.

I was recently perusing some of my Elle Décor mags dating as far back as 2006 and antlers were quite populated the walls of quite a number of the interiors that they featured then. When I went to High Point Market, there were antlers everywhere!  Dare I say antlers are here to stay! The one featured above can be found in this etsy shop.

Last Minute Gift Ideas for Father’s Day

I recently received these Father’s Day gift ideas in my inbox and had to share!  Love that they’re categorized with where you can purchase.

I can see the hubs liking something from each of these categories, especially the active/outdoorsy one. Have you purchased anything yet for Father’s Day? I haven’t. I’m always last minute. In addition to a gift, the boys and myself will do some type of craft gift(those are my fave).Blessings and Happy Tuesday friends. XX

Too fast…

I am just amazed at how quickly my kiddos are growing up. Way too fast for Mommy’s liking. How was your weekend? We got a brief break over the weekend from the daily rainy weather that we’ve been having. Thank goodness! So off to the park we went. Blessings and Happy new week everyone! XX

An Instant Fave.

I always have an immediate connection with a home that reflects the personality of its owners. This home in Berlin shows the owners affection for art and artifacts that are not only beautiful, but also tell a story.  The intriguing interview is live here. It’s really worth the read. Now, time for some drooling…

what a juxtaposition! an Afshar nomads Iranian rug, a modern Wassily chair, modern shelving,, and antiques getting along beautifully

sometimes there are no adjectives to sufficiently express ones adoration. this is just freaking orgasmic.

oh my. more delicious orgasmic moments here. seriously. perfect as__________.

according to the interview the husband has a serious love for Turkish kilim rugs. they’re sprinkled everywhere.

a nod to the Roman and Catholic cathedrals, this bust is a replica of the most famous of the Naumburg figures(Uta Von Naumburg)

you just know the homeowner is fun from this pic

This tour/ interview is definitely one of my faves from freundevonfreunden.com.  What are you all up to this weekend? Blessings and enjoy! XX

The Art of Mixing Prints.

If anyone is an expert on the subject of mixing print, it’s Solange Knowles.  She does it fearlessly and her looks are always fierce. Probably the most important rule to successfully mixing prints is to  pair colours that are either in the same colour family or ones that complement each other. Here are some great examples…
