Some decorating ideas to inspire your long weekend

Well, folks, I've spent this morning lovingly scanning, cropping, and trying to get rid of the horrid stripes my scanner leaves on my images - guess you get what you pay for. Anyway, we have a long weekend, and, if on the off-chance you'll be indoors, I hope I leave you with some yummy ideas to incorporate into your decor. Happy weekend!


I love "high beds." The quilt on this is gorgeous, too.

The stool above was a stuffy, dark, upholstered piece. It was repainted white and the upholstery was replaced with a glass top.

I've never seen the idea of little pictures hung in a grid under one larger picture - but I like it!

Hanging a picture on a bookshelf is an all-time fav. look of mine!


If you have/find some pretty brackets, you could use this idea and safe some floor space by creating a "nightshelf," as opposed to a nightstand.

Pretty, Perfect Bathrooms

Ahhh...a clean and organized bathroom makes so much difference. I can never feel really clean unless my bathroom is nice and clean. These baths, however, go above clean by also looking lovely. Which is your favorite?


...sssooo cute! I love the light blue wainscoting mixed with the pale greens.


The crisp lines in this bathroom is really relaxing

A very cute vintage-style bathroom - I've never seen a shower like that!

These yellow stripes are cheery and classy - if you described it to me I don't think I'd like the sound of it - but seeing it is another story!

Interesting bathroom - no? Though, I don't think I'd need so much extra seating in my bathroom

Country conversions

pretty pretty pretty! It's hump day and I needed a little lift to help me over. These are mostly lofts and/or converted barns. So peaceful.

I adore this bedroom - what a gorgeous ceiling! I also never realized how pretty yellow bedding can be. Anybody have yellow bedding?

I need to find out who painted that cloudscape above the tub!

This kitchen is a really successful blend of modern and country. It's warm and inviting - and still sleek and clean.

Surprisingly chic and modern classics at L.L. Bean

I don't usually comment on fashion, but I was so surprised by what I saw in the latest issue of L.L. Bean Women that I had to share. What do you think of their recent efforts to attract younger customers?

Some really cute flats - and they look comfy too. I'd get the green.


I'm loving the boots with the skirt


My 19 year old sister just bought this jacket - which they call the Homecoming jacket

Their color selection is also trendier - I'm loving this fuchsia set.



Love this gorgeous - modern cut wool jacket
Their bedding is more modern, too.
