WORDS: Grateful

Things have been crazy busy around here... and this week it is at an almost "insane" level of crazy.

But, that's a good thing. 

{Except, I'm not posting as frequently... sorry.}

I love being crazy busy... with good things.

{And I will be back to a more regular posting schedule very soon.}

I am grateful for all the crazy busy... good things.

Have a FABULOUS day, friends!

New Pretties Added to our Bedroom

Here it is! The new corner of our bedroom.

We paired down.... scaled back.... 

and created a quaint, glorious, comfy and FABULOUS corner!

I mentioned here that we ordered a new sofette to go in this space. 

But, although it technically fit.... it was too big visually.

Kind of sad because I was really looking forward to cuddling up on a sofette...but, I am elated they had a wonderful return policy and came to pick it up today! 

So H-E-L-L-O to my beautiful new pieces!

I visited Scout Design Studio in the Dallas Design District last week.

I was broken-hearted about the reality of the sofette decision disaster.... but, upon entering the showroom my heart was instantly happy!

This place is FABULOUS!

So many unique pieces. Vintage furniture, art and accessories.... LOVE it all!

I came away with several options... but, I decided on this Vintage Leather Milo Baughman-esque Chair and the Lion's Paw Side Table.

The pieces are in such wonderful condition. No need to refurbish them at all!
But, Scout Design Studio does offer reupholstering and revamp services... isn't that wonderful?

You can follow them on Facebook here.
Who knows.... you might see something that interests you.

To top it all off...
I added a glamorous floor lamp to the corner.

I'm totally lovin' the crystals!

So.... what ya think?
I love how everything works so well with the bedding, rug and drapery.

I LOVE my little SANCTUARY.

WORDS: Be You

Hope your weekend was lovely...

Now, it's the start of another week.

As I organize kiddo's schoolwork, my personal and work schedule, and plan for meals for the week... I am reminded of what makes me happy, content, peaceful, joyful, and thankful.

Simple little experiences of everything around me!

Have a WONDERFUL week of BEING YOU
... while taking in everything and expressing your own PERSONAL STYLE!

REVAMPED: Dorothy Draper Espana Chest

Lacquered High Gloss Dove White...

It is HEAVEN to me!

Made this little Craigslist score.... a GLAMOROUS TREASURE!

I had the dresser revamped by Again and Again here in Dallas.

They are just FABULOUS when it comes to glamorous vintage finds and pretty...pretty... pieces.

They are also... just FABULOUS.... when it comes to revamping said finds and pieces.

The new look goes quite well with my vintage brass console table.

All of this gold is making me so happy!

The large lip print was a Christmas gift from my hubby and kiddo.

It's from Jen Ramos at MadeByGirl... I have been eyeing it for quite some time and they surprised me at Christmas! What sweethearts!

It is a framed giclee print from an original watercolor designed by Jessica Rowe.

You can order the print here.

I am SO happy I did this.
It's been over a year since I've had this piece. I can't believe I waited so long to get this done.
Have I mentioned that this makes me SO happy?!?!?

Have you had anything revamped or lacquered lately... or have you put it off like me?
