Seamless Storage

I'm a stickler for things being in their place and uncluttered-ness. These photos of seamless storage has me clutching my pearls.

I also love the efficient use of slim spaces. I need this in my kitchen.

This laundry room is so perfect, soothing pale yellow color, hidden appliances, lovely french doors... I'm smitten. Those sliding doors are the cat's meow.

I actually enjoy doing laundry, it's so relaxing to me but I know I would enjoy it so much more in this laundry room.

Newest Home Addition

I had been looking for a table for my newly acquired Regency chairs. I knew I wanted something round that extended for the huge holiday dinners and hosting other get togethers. So this beauty what I found:

I think it's a great walnut table! I love the silver gilt around the fluted base.
I can't wait to refinish my chairs and put the dining room together.. so excited. I want to add more modern elements to the rest of the dining room decor so that it's not stuffy but chic and effortlessly fab.

I also need to stop and get some paint samples to find the perfect gray for our walls. I'm partial to Benjamin Moore's Dior Gray, for the lower level of the house:

I'm hoping it's a true gray, light and soothing...like this:

My plan is to use paint in a gradient way from the foyer to the back of the house, which will end with the furthest wall in the family room. That wall will be a rich slate gray, creating a greater sense of depth from the front of the house. That's what I imagine anyway.

Any gray paint suggestions? I would love to hear them.

Let's Go Shopping

I LOVE THIS!! It's perfect for a night out on the town.

This is the Bubble Sleeve Romper from Rachel Roy. Although it looks gold to me, the color description is Pearl Gray.

*sidebar* Isn't that model gorgeous? She has such a great look.

I like these dresses by Rachel too:

I don't recall where I found this photo.. if yours, please let me know so I may give credit.

Fab Finds

You know how awesome you look when you get your eyebrows groomed? You don the perfect arch that frames your eyes, making you look younger, more awake and simply prettier.

Well, that's what I think CurveMakers does for bland doorways in a house... makes the house simply prettier.

CurveMakers makes arch kits:

To this:

Don't you just LOVE that transformation?!?! The doorway has architectural detail that makes it look more elegant and dare I say, luxe? And you know I'm all about the look of luxe... for less.

Which brings me to my next point. They are inexpensive compared to having these arches added say during a build or having a contractor come out to do them for you. Best of all, even with the most novice DIY skills, you can probably do all the entry ways in your house in a day, for a modest price.

Let's see more of CurveMakers in action.

I'm totally sold and can't wait to find a house to arch her "brows".

Get In My Closet!

At first glance, the Christian Louboutin Rollerball Loafers, were not appealing to me but I figured I needed to see them in person before making any hasty judgments.

You can't deny, they ARE interesting looking!

But then I saw them ON and honey, I gotta have them.

I'm so sorry Christian, that I doubted you. These are fabulous and will be adorning my feet soon! They can be my upcoming birthday and anniversary present.

Let's Romp!

Look at these super cute rompers I found. I don't like to spend alot of money on summer clothes, especially trendy pieces. So these finds are right up my alley.

These options are from UrbanOg. Priced reasonably at $23.50 and $35.90, respectively.

I purchased the khaki ruffle romper. I thought it would be a nice, dressier choice for an upcoming baby shower get together. I also liked that the shorts were a little longer.

The more military inspired romper is a fab choice as well, for those into that on trend look. I think it's the same one from Lulu's:

I LOVE how that romper is styled in this photo! That camouflage bag and those shoes, make the romper FIERCE!!
