These two images remind me of what joy can come out of interior design.  Of course these spaces are styled for a specific shoot but they sure inspire the reader to think outside of the box.

Well this is a fun image.

Here is another spot on Perfect Pallet from Cassie.  She is showing us how un-scary deep, rich colors can be.  And when pairing them with the right textures and fabrics, it becomes a beautiful thing!

Don’t forget to check out my tips over on The Veda House.

And the winner of the Tea Collection giveaway is…Bo!!  Congrats!  I’ll send an email your way:)

Another adorable image of Ethan from Joyce Alexander.

Jeanette Lunde of Fryd Design is a beautiful person (inside & out) with a beautiful blog.  In fact Fryd Design was one of the first blogs that I ever read.  Jeanette just released her latest emag, 3 BY FRYD and it’s a MUST READ!  Jeanette is a master of color and texture.  Her photography is spot on, always.

Great job Jeanette!

That chubber of a child is me.  I had some serious meat on my body, people!!!!  That pretty lady in the background is my amazing mom.  Words cannot express that gratitude that I have towards this woman.  Because of her total commitment to her kids and her never ending prayers, I am who I am today.  There were moments where I could have chosen a path that would not have been fitting nor successful but she wouldn’t have let me.  She saw the best in me constantly and pushed me in the right direction.  I hope that I am half of the mom to my kids that she was to me!

Love you mom!!!!! xxooxxooxxoo

Lonny went live a few hours ago and I’m already posting this amazing Moroccan space owned and designed by the lovely Maryam Montague of My Marrakesh.  You HAVE to go read about this home!  It is a completely inspiring story.

I haven’t posted a They’ve Got Style in awhile.  This is the perfect post to bring it out of retirement!  Recently Tea Collection sent my kids some pretty cool threads.  We picked out stripes, a little bit of checkers and a few other cuter than cute options.

Check out this mini shoot with my kids and the oh so talented Joyce Alexander.  (Speaking of Joyce, she’s is amazing.  Really, truly amazing.)

I paired the Ubud Ikat Top from Tea Collection with this cute skirt from Harajuku Mini for Target.

These color block shorts are Ethan’s favorite piece of clothing right now!  They’re super comf.

I love stripes on kids and Eden loves to wear stripes so this dress is perfect!  The Happy Morning striped dress is comfortable yet so stylish.  I paired it with a pair of socks from Bobo Choses.

Ethan has already worn this outfit a number of times!  The Poleng long shorts matched with the Fish Market tee is a nice, relaxed ensemble for the summer time.
