Magical Disney Cruise

Saturday, March 1, 2014



We just got back from a magical Disney Cruise aboard the re-imagined Disney Magic.  There are tons of blogs out there with Disney Cruising tips, here are my few favorites:






1. Book through AAA to receive fun perks including a $100 photo credit that affords you 4-8 x 10's and 3-5 x 7's.  Thanks Becky!




2. Bring a large beverage cup to refill at the soda station on deck 9.  It's a long trip to get up there from most places on the ship and the cups they provide are tiny.  See the size of this cup being held by my 3 year old.







3.  You do not have to eat breakfast at 6:45am. That is WAY too early on your final day of vacation.  Instead you can grab a quick bite from the buffet at Cabana's before departing around 8:30am.




4. Watch the latest Disney release movies on board at the Theater. We saw Frozen and it was Amazing!  One of my top 10 from the trip!

 






Nursery or child's room art from Kirkland's

Sunday, February 23, 2014

I am blogging on the long road trip to Florida. Sunshine, here we come!

So many of my friends are having babies so I thought it would be fun to source nursery art from an unusual source-Kirkland's.  Kirkland's is one of my go to sources for family room, bedroom, and dining room art aka "Adult rooms" but they have some fun pieces for a little boy or girl's room too.

Vacation Wall Art

I love to use art in my home that is personal to my family as I think that helps make our house a home. I am a big fan of Albie Design's. I would love the Washington DC, San Diego and the San Fran prints. 





I found a similar style of prints at Ikea of Paris and London which were some of our favorite vacations.

Do you have any travel prints in your home from vacations?  Or vacations you are dreaming about?




Our lighting family

Meet the newest member of our lighting family...



And while we are focusing on the living room, don't our Kirkland's mirrors look an awful like these from Restoration Hardware?



WEATHERED ZINC TRIPLE FEZ MIRROR

I am so glad that Handsome Hubby (he's smart and thrifty too!) found our mirrors on clearance! They were $1400 less!

Update to Christina's Front Room

Sunday, February 16, 2014

Happy Sunday to you!  I am so excited because the Handsome Hubby is currently installing our new ceiling fan.  Yay!  No more boob light!


 While we were all snowed in, we had dinner at Christina's house and were hanging out in her Front Room.  She mentioned that she really wanted grey walls instead of the teal that I suggested.  I updated the board and swapped the paint color, curtains and pendant light.

 Here's a mini update for her dining room.  Christina already has  a gorgeous dining room, all we needed was paint, curtain and some accessories to tie it to the adjoining Front Room.

Friday's Favorite Things

You guys seem to like my Favorite Things post for World Market, so here's one from another one of my fave stores West Elm. When I started this collection I had no intention of creating a bedroom mood board, but this would make a gorgeous Master Bedroom.
