Family Rustic Dining Table

This family table is wonderful because of it's rustic look with a house full of kids. You can enjoy family meals here as well as doing crafts without having to worry about scratching it up. I also love the wooden vessel that holds all crayons and pencils. The stencils chair backs are so cute as well. Check it out on designmom

Monogram

I love monograms especially in the bedroom because it is so personal. There are so many different fonts and styles you can use when monogramming these days. The fuschia on linen is beautiful.

The single letter on the wall is so bold and fun to use for a baby or kids room.

Stencil Project

I was going to apply wallpaper to my dining room wall, but instead I painted on this trellis stencil.  It is less expensive and can be used again on the wall or any item.  I might use it on a serving tray next. If you love the chandelier as well stay tune to how this was made for under $50.

Happy {Girl's} Weekend!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing weekend.  I am off to the pool today with my close old college girlfriends.  There will be plenty of bubbly to go around and lots of girl talk.  I hope your weekend is just as relaxing.

Unique {POST}

If you are looking to customize your emails with unique designs check out the new iPhone app called POST.  I love the name.  It was created by the young and fabulous designer Hanna Brooks Nation of Gababout stationary.  

 

The app allows you to design and send custom invitations and notes using 60 or more designs and it only cost .99 cents.

Gababout Stationary 

 Gababout Stationary comes in a 5 x7 note card, sold in a set of 25 and made with high quality materials and boxed with the company's signature orange color. These are a few of my favorites.

 She will customize each note card with your initials.  Stop by La Dolce Vita to check out her most recent interview.

Lovely Bedroom

Rich isn't it?  I am into navy walls right now and I love the rich contract of the white bedding and furniture against the dark navy walls.  This room feels very relaxing and romantic.

Colorful Designer Fabrics/Calico Corners

I never think to stop into Calico Corners, but after reading maison21's post I am going to make a trip this week.  They have designer fabric 30-60% showroom prices.  I can't wait to start shopping.

Designer Devon Baer

I fell in love with the Manhattan based Designer Devon Baer when I saw her jewelery featured on Plush Palette.  Her style is fresh and preppy.  She finds inspiration in antiques and all things beautiful in interiors.  These bold statement pieces are a great way to update your outfit. 

The tangerine and pink flowers in the necklace are perfect for spring/summer and the bigger the better.

Cute accent belt!  It reminds of a chinoiserie table lamp.  Shop her Etsy store.

Happy Friday

 

I hope your Friday is as bright and sunny as mine.  Have a great weekend!  

xoxo, Sarah
