Inspiration drives me every day...

There are so many things that inspire me....especially people who share such a huge creative flare. Pink is my inspiration, reminds me to never change yourself, and dare to be different.
As far as design goes......who doesn't love Sarah Richardson!!!!!

Take a seat

I never noticed all the different kinds of seating I have around the house until recently. I love all the different textures, patterns, and colors each one of my chairs have. Here are some of my favorite ones in my home.....one can never have too much seating : )
My absolute favorite!! Gift from my Mother on our first anniversary.

Found in vintage store for $12. Love the color.

Love!!!

This chair makes me think of Fall.

Love the detail in this one.
 Now, I seriously think I have a chair fetish. : ) Soon, I will have pictures of my house tour for you. Happy Friday!!!

"Flea Market for a Night" cocktail party!!!!

I need everyone's input! I am planning on having a "Flea Market for a Night" cocktail party around the holiday season...which we all know is right around the corner. It would be a night filled with some of the vintage finds I have found myself and selling on behalf of other vendors and bloggers. All items would be available for purchase and would make excellent gifts for the holidays. Please give me your input. I am looking to have it at The Bouwerie in Old Tappan, NJ and 10% of the proceeds going to a local charity. If you would like to donate items or offer wholesale prices on your items...please contact me. A great way for your items to be exposed to a large group of people. 
                                     What would be your ideal cocktail/flea market night?
                                                         Girls only or Men included?
*I NEED EVERYONE'S INPUT AND HOPE YOU CAN ALL MAKE IT. DETAILS TO FOLLOW!

A Thought for Thursday....

We all need a little reminder every now and then. : )

FALLING in love...

I can't believe it is that time again to watch the leaves fall and feel the temperature change happening. Fall is my favorite time of the year...and being in Nursing school....it's taking away time for my decorating obsession. This weekend I plan on getting out my pumpkin collection and get to fall decorating! Here are some inspiring pics that remind me of fall that I just adore.




Can't wait to have time this weekend to think about Fall! Hope you have a great Thursday!!!

Oldies but Goodies

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to share two old projects with you that I did a year ago but love how they came out. So easy and one was free!!! I garbage picked this old rocking chair and new it had much potential. I spray painted it with a glossy "fire engine red" and it came out looking brand spanken new!!!


Old railing turned magazine rack. I purchased this from a consignment shop for  $10 and just loved the original  bones of it. I planned on painting it...but there was something like the wood I just loved. I knew if I ever wanted to put it in a different room...the color would always match. So simple and organized : )
Enjoy this beautiful day!

Glitter Candle Obsession Has Begun!

Every year, at the start of the holidays, I become obsessed with glitter candles. There is something about them that is just so glamorous and makes me happy : ) They can brighten up any boring room and just add a bit of "Fab" to any table or pillar. Here are two of my favorite glitter candles....have the red and white ones come out around Christmas...so stock up!!!!!



Saw these at the $1 store and almost fell over! Knew they would be a great fit in my empty rustic bowl I have been looking to fill with something pretty.

Going to add some pumpkins and then we got the perfect fall bowl : )
Green Glitter!!!
HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TUESDAY!

Some of My Favorite Things....Teacups!

Morning! I wanted to share the beginning of my teacup collection with you. There is something about them that just screams PRETTY! Here is a few of my favorite teacups.

This is my fav one! I bought it at the Mohonk House (one of my favorite vacations) and it has a little side plate attached to it for scones.
The little one on top of it was a favor from my bridal shower from 5 years ago.
