Cutest Lil' Nurseries

Are these not the cutest?? The wallpaper, the color palettes, the furniture--they're everything.  No more words are even one bit necessary. Enjoy.

Steel Windows

Know what I LOVE--besides the fact that all ten seasons of Friends is now on Netflix? I love black steel windows. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but that's how much I love them: enough to mention them twice. Or three times. Seven times tops. I was completely bummed out that we couldn't get them for our house. I can't remember if it's because they were not available through our builder or that they cost thousands of dollars. Either way, not available. Steel windows are amazing--I love how the black is so sharp and clean and everything else I love about lines and black and squares and the combination of everything I just mentioned. I mean really, could there BE anything better?

Kitchen Stools

I know that the title of this post is one of my best, yet. But, besides that, and the fact that all three of these kitchens are totally swoon-worthy, let's discuss the stools--after all, that is the title of the post, aaaand we all know how I like to stay on topic. I am currently in the market for barstools. My future stools have to have backs, because Hubs insists they are comfortable, and sometimes, I like to let him think he is making decisions on things I really don't care about. These stools from WE are currently in the running.  I also love these, but I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to put down that much cash for four stools. Stools are ridiculously expensive, are they not? My very favorite, if I could have-anything-and-if-money-wasn't-an-issue choice would be the stools from Luxe Interiors in the second picture. Talk about swoon-worthy--serious love at first sight going on over here.

Ceiling Love

Oh hi.  Remember me? Yes, almost three months later and still trying to get my groove back. I'll find it, right? RIGHT? Please tell me I'll find it! (And don't tell me if I won't, mmmkay?!) Anyway, how absolutely stunning are these ceilings? I would so move into anyone of these houses without even seeing any other rooms, that's how beautiful these are. Ok. I wouldn't really do that, but let's be honest: To. Die. For.

TV's and Fireplaces. And Husbands with Opinions.

So, the hubs and I have been discussing TVs and fireplaces lately. It's actually not my first choice to have the TV over the fireplace, but that's kind of where a lot of floor plans make you put it, and I'm fine with that. The debate is all about the size. Obviously, the TV most definitely cannot be as wide as the fireplace. (Ummm, hello, right?) I am really insisting on at least 10-12 inches on each side. Of course, Hubs disagrees, because, well, apparently the size of your TV is directly associated with the level of manliness you possess. I mean, don't get me wrong. I want to see the real housewives on a big screen just as much as the next person, but I've never been one to put function in front of aesthetics. Sigh. Here I go having to compromise again...which means we're going to need a larger fireplace.

Bold Walls | Kids' Rooms

Okay, so how cute are these kids' rooms? I love the bold walls done with just paint and wall decals. This is a great way to go to make a big statement. And, the best part: it's cheaper than large art pieces. The other best part? It can be removed and/or painted over if you're like me and change your mind every other day you change your mind.

Kitchen Islands | Legs for Days

Hi. Remember me? Is anyone still out there? (Crickets, crickets...) Things around here have been cuh-ray-zee. I miss routine. And, of course, sleep. The good news is that Baby S is only waking up a couple of times a night (one of which is 6:00 a.m., which still feels like the middle of the night to me). Don't worry, though, I still find time to think about kitchen islands and legs. Because, well, come on, I'm only human. I discovered the other day that I have pinned the first image at least five times.  I guess I'm a little obsessed. But, really, who wouldn't be?!

Best. Chairs. Ever.

Ok, I can't really prove that these are, in fact, THE best chairs, but, let's be honest...They. Are. A-mazing. Obviously I love a little nailhead trim detail, because, really, we all need a little bit of that in our lives, right? Which one is your fave? I don't like to discriminate, so I would gladly take all three. Actually, make that two of each.

[color kreyv]: Black & White

Four words: black and white; yes and please. Enough said. (Oh, and I'm not counting the ands in my four words. Just making sure you all know I can, indeed, count.)

Seeing Spots and Loving It | Polka Dot Rooms

It's June. Whaaat?? I have to say, it's kind of a relief to have May over with. It was SO busy, like something-every-night busy. It was rough for this little homebody. In fact, I napped on Saturday and Sunday...and both were equally awesome, by the way. So, speaking of awesome, are we loving these polka dot rooms, or what? I know the quality of the bottom picture is so-so, but I had to show it, because I love the use of polka dots in such a sophisticated space.  It says, "Hey, I'm sophisticated, but I'm fun, too."  You know, if rooms could talk. And if I could hear said rooms speaking...

[color kreyv]: Navy

Hey, you guuyys...did you miss me? I must say, I have been having THE greatest time with my fam and friends. First, there was Disney, which was a-mazing (more on that later); then, we came home to BBQs, pool time, and a side of pedis and brunch with the girls. Of course, with so much fun, there has been a lot bit of neglect on the home front. Seriously, I saw my powder room countertop at eye level today and freaked out at the amount of dust I could see. Don't get me wrong, I didn't freak out enough to actually clean it, but it was a bit disturbing. Ehh, it will have to wait a day. Or two. In the meantime, how amazing is the navy in all of these rooms? I'd definitely rather look at these than my dusty house.
