Happy New Year!!

Can you believe it, another new year already?! Insane! But it's been a good, and a very blessed, 2010. I hope that each of you have a lovely time celebrating with friends & family.

See you in 2011!!

Ringing in the New Year!

So, not throwing a NYE party myself, but thought it would be fun to throw out some ideas that might inspire other great parties for 2011 elsewhere!

Two ideas that are completely opposite but might appeal to the masses:

a cozy cabin get-away with a view of snow and warmth inside, or

a glamorous soiree full of sequins and fabulousness.

For the cozy cabin get-away...

Fireworks in the snow, maybe be a little bon fire and a glass of champagne? Yes, please!

Then wake up to pumkin pancakes on the first day of 2011 (that is, if you plan to sleep at all ;).

For the glitz and glam...

A White Christmas for 2010!

I am sorry I've been a little MIA from my blog as of late, but am hoping to get some inspiring posts in before the New Year as way of catching up.

How was your Christmas?? We had a great one, because it was a WHITE Christmas here in the middle of the south! Probably got about 6-7 inches at our house, totally surprised us both! So of course, we (and the rest of our neighborhood) took advantage of our massive hill in the backyard and enjoyed some sledding, a mini-bon fire, some mimosas, and hanging with family and friends in the snow.

Here are some pictures from our Christmas extravaganza!

Color Inspiration by Color Collective

If you're looking for some color ideas or images for inspiration, you should check out Color Collective, a blog created by Lauren Willhite to act as a designer's resource for color. The images she collects and shares on this blog are amazing -- from fashion to art to interiors or even event design.

Here's a quick sampling of images that inspire me from her blog. Check it out!

Rocker Rehab

This rocker has been through rehab! Found it at America's Thrift Store, had structural interest, but several dings in the raw wood state we original discovered it in. Painted white to match our other many white things, and plan to make some fun cushions for it to make it more cozy.

Tree is up!

Went a little plain again -- what can I say? I like the tree the way it is, so didn't want the ornaments to take away from it... but I may find a few extra things to add to it. Here it is!

I think Guapo is in the Christmas spirit, too ;)

P.S.

I'm attending Lavish! "unconference" in ATL on December 10th with my sis, (who you can also visit at www.delveinto.blogspot.com) just for fun!

Looking forward to it and will share when I return.
