Happy Friday!

Ahhhhhh....This looks refreshing.  It is sweltering in Memphis and I need a dip.  This adorable pool house looks like the perfect spot to escape the heat.  

HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Recipes

I haven't posted a recipe in a while because I haven't been very active with the camera in the kitchen.  So while I didn't take the pictures of this deliciousness, I thought our menu was worth sharing.  We made Balsamic Rosemary Pork Tenderloin from Recipe Girl, Roasted Carrots from Pioneer Woman, Fried Green Tomatoes from the Neely's (Memphis natives..whoop whoop), and a classic Green Bean Casserole.  Everything was wonderful!!  (I skipped the dip for the tomatoes and halved the recipe for the green beans).  Here are pics I borrowed from the respective websites.  

A lovely Souther Summer meal!  Enjoy!!

Dining Room Love

Now that I have gotten my bathroom going (by no means finished) I am ready to tackle the dining room!  Right now it's pretty bare; a farm table and chairs, recycled curtains from the den, and a few wedding gifts in the corner.  I'm looking for a little inspiration and here a few dining rooms I'm loving...

I love the white chest and bamboo chairs combined with the upholstered chairs.  I would love a fun fabric on these chairs.  This mirror reminds me (kinda) of one I just bought for our dining room.  

(Lowe's)

Liking this lantern a lot.  And the cabinet to the left.   Those chairs want me to cozy up to that table for a leisurely dinner.  

Imperial trellis works anywhere.  

I need this sideboard.  

This French dining room is very sweet.  I adore the cane back chairs and antique table.  

This trio of glass lanterns is a-mazing.  

There's my mirror look-a-like!  (If only I had a fireplace in my DR)  I love the chandelier and the lattice fabric on the chairs.  I'm leaning towards a navy room.  

Still obsessing over the chevron rug.  


So a little something like this...kinda eclectic and crazy, but maybe it could work??

Wishful Wednesday

Today I'm wishing...
For a fairy painter to come finish painting my bathroom.  It's a teeny tiny room, but I'm just not up for it today.

Foo dog lamps!  Trendy?  Yes.  Care?  No.  I love them!  I think I'll take two in white or maybe turquoise...

(Helloooo imperial trellis headboard!!)  Back to the point, these are rather big foo dogs, but they look wonderful in this bedroom.  They can be found here ($$$).  I also like these...

Do you think they're gorgeous or gaudy??


These fab Schumacher Chiang Mai Dragon pillows.  I think I've mentioned my obsession with throw pillows.  I need to add these to my collection...

Stripes...

New lighting for the aforementioned bathroom.  Now that it's gray (or grey??) I need bigger, brighter lighting...

Hope you have a shining Hump Day!!!

Green with Envy

Today is all about GREEN.  Kelly, emerald, pea, celadon, hunter, or lime green.  I love them all.  Here are some fabulous green rooms and a few of my favorite green things...

Wedge obsession

Ever since I bought my beloved Toms, I have been lusting over other wedges.  The Toms are super comfy and I want them in several other colors.  Here are a few other wedges I'm loving.

1. Toms  2. Kate Spade  3. Tory Burch  4. Christian Louboutin  5. DVF  6. Steve Madden  7. 12th Street

Are you obsessed with a certain shoe??

Outfit Inspiration

I have a thing for coral and turquoise.  I know I could find the perfect place for this ikat chair somewhere in my home.  I LOVE it.  Here's a little outfit inspired by the bright, bold colors in this room.  

1. Honeybee Collection earrings, 2. Tibi dress, 3. Kenneth Jay Lane bracelet, 4. Balenciaga bag, 5. Miu  Miu sandals

Would you wear this outfit?

thinking pink

I've never been a huge fan of the overly "girly" color, but these pink things are making me happy today.
