Bathroom Redo

With the Imperial Trellis wallpaper off my upstairs main bathroom (still sad) I have been trying to come up with a new game plan.  Bed rest hasn't speeded this up at all. Saw this bathroom in the latest issue of Canadian House and Home and thinking the painted stripes could be a nice, fresh possibility, and doable within a budget.

It's Friday, I'm in Love

I love my digital subscription to Canadian House and Home. The April issue just arrived in my email in box on Friday eve, and oh, what a fun read. Lots of pretty, inspiring pictures to hunker down with for the weekend!

As our old friends The Cure said...."You can never get enough, enough of this stuff...It's Friday I'm in Love."

Good Distractions: Dwell for Target and Gray Essie Nail Polish

I went to Target today for some essentials, while hoping to spot the new Dwell bedding, specifically, these Casablanca shams:

Thought they'd be so cute on Elizabeth's gray/blue antique bed. Alas, I was denied. Nothing but a row of empty shelves with the promise of "something new coming soon."

Denied, I settled for something else that wasn't on my list, the equivalent of a candy bar for my finger nails:

It's called ChinChilly, described as a "sleek, granite gray." I kept seeing similar colors pop out at me from the pages of Vogue and Elle, so I made the $7 leap. Looks fantab on!

And, is it mere coincidence, how well my new nail polish matches my kitchen hutch?
(Excuse the bad photos...et hem...hopefully new camera in my future.)

Essie ChinChilly Nail Polish & Benjamin Moore Cumulous Cloud 1550. Almost one and the same! This paint color, btw, will go with me everywhere...love, love, love! The hutch, however, too big to be considered an accessory....

Manic Monday

I'm here, promise. Just tending to mothering, housekeeping, those sort of things. In the meantime, lets enjoy a little Victoria Hagen tranquility, shall we?

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Three is the Magic Number

Lonny

I've got three on the brain lately. We're expecting baby number three in late July. I've never liked things in even numbers, in pairs, too balanced..so I suppose it is destiny, that just like the arrangements around the house - the stack of three books, the three vases on the table, the three paintings on the living room wall, I'll have three precious children, too.

I loved this perfect trio from the latest issue of Lonny magazine.
