Yard Update

I have totally neglected this blog so I thought it might be time to post SOMETHING. All this rainy weather has me missing the beautiful weekend we had in Chattanooga a couple weeks back. Josh and I worked in the yard all weekend, and believe it or not, I actually got sunburned... yes, I'm THAT pale ;)

Here is the progress we've made with the yard:

Why Have Wallpaper...

When you can just use a stencil? These days, wallpaper is often times frowned upon, but sometimes the prints still lure interior decor enthusiasts in. Now, you can skip the wallpaper hassle (and cost) and go with a stencil design instead. Great when considering the sale of your home and what future potential buyers will think.

Here are a couple of my favorites. Thinking I might like to get one! More painting, sure, but a nice change that adds interest to an otherwise ordinary room. Found these at www.cuttingedgestencils.com. Enjoy!

Hot Off the Press - High Gloss Mag

High Gloss Magazine is a brand new operation full of gorgeous fashion, decor, and event ideas. This is a collaboration of design bloggers who have joined forces to create this little medley of all things lovely.

Here are a few photos from one of the pads that they covered in their first issue -- "glamorous" doesn't even begin to describe it!

Lovin' Your Style

Just discovered stylist Julie Sarinana via Glamour Magazine's new blogger network Young & Posh. She mixes it up, and I am digging it. The colors she combines in her outfits could also be inspiration for decor color combos.
