Feeling Artsy

via

I really LOVE this aged brass disc wall. It's inspired a piece of DIY art that I would like have for my home. Although I won't be using aged brass discs.. as much as I would like to.. I may use large gold pailletes.

I thought these large sequins were good.. they look kinda age-y.

Or I could go with something shiny..

I'm still pondering how I would like to display them.. on a canvas or a poster board and frame it some kinda way. I would like the piece to be big, around 7' x 5', so maybe rigging some poster board would be ideal.

What do you think? Canvas, poster board or something else?

I Need A Desk

It needs to be unique...

It needs to be chic...

It needs to be glam...

It need to be unabashedly feminine...

I haven't given up on my dream desk but I need something in the meanwhile. A dedicated space for just me... one that will display things that I love:

a new iMac:

and a comfy yet supportive chair, possibly something traditional:

or maybe something sleeker:

I'm thinking of using the glass table that I currently have as a desk... for now. I think it will be ok for time being.

I was hoping to sell it but I guess I will hold on to it until I save up to get THE desk.

Got Wood?

I'm dying to get a rustic work island for my kitchen. Apprently, my house had one but right before we bought it, someone in the neighborhood pilfered our lovely work island.

We met said neighbor that bought the island and she was pleased as punch to tell me that.. much to my chagrin. Boo!

I have been having the hardest time finding one like it.. so I've decided to build one. *insert laugh track*

Yup, I'm gonna do it. It will be my first project using power tools and I'm looking forward to it. I really like this one in the photo. The unfinished wood and the two shelves.. it's perfect. I think given the space that I have to work with in my kitchen, a two shelved work table would be ideal for storage and cute styling.

I hope to find some reclaimed wood.. but if not, I will be happy with some from Home Depot and just beat it with a heavy chain.

New, rustic wood kitchen island work table.... here I come!!

Stay tuned!

Happy New Year!!

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year!!

Hoping that the last moments of the year and the newest beginnings of the next are filled with good times, great friends and family, lots of laughs and champagne.

Dreaming spectacular dreams and plan to make 2012 the most sparkling!

The Best Is Yet To Come

Can you believe it's almost 2012? Me either but a new year is upon us and it's gonna be bigger, more fabulous and even more awesome!

As with life, there's up and downs but I'm thankful to say that this year was filled with way more ups. YAY for ups!

I'm looking so forward to seeing what 2012 brings... looking forward to seeing how I will evolve as a woman, wife and mother.

I'm hoping I can revisit owning my own business again.While I'm thankful to have a great career, I was over the moon having my own company. After all, I need to be a boss with my new fancy desk. (in progress)

On the home front, I will continue to decorate to my heart's content. It's been quite a learning experience and I'm loving every minute of it. I have some new updates to share...coming soon.

I'm planning to work on the front yard...thinking of adding a semi-circular driveway along with some new flower beds that contain pretty bunches of hydrangeas. We need flowers to soften up the front of the house. Also need to add some shutters to the second floor windows.

I'm sure there will be lots of new experiences and adventures upon the horizon and I can't wait!!

Warmest Holiday Wishes!

Christmas Goodies

I've been on Pinterest way too much over the past week. There's so much inspiration on there... I just can't take it...but I will.

Today, I was lured in by food and added two new items to my ever growing Christmas dinner "to make" list.

First up, some delicious bite size bake Brie.

My Hubby will LOVE these!

Next up, Cookies 'n Cream Oreo Fudge Brownies

Sinful.

What desserts are you making?
