Beautiful Rooms & Birthday

It's rare to find a seemingly random set of photos that so perfectly describe my personal style and therefore I had to repost and share with you all, my friends!  I can (and will) take direct inspiration from these images and update the rooms in my home - not joking, there are several pieces from these rooms that I own in variations.  Who is the designer?  And can we be best friends?

I keep returning to these rooms time and time again.  LOVE!

PS - And a very happy Birthday to my Dad!  We had a family dinner last night to celebrate and it felt great to relax - especially since it was sunny and in the 70's - beautiful!

Brooklyn Brownstone

If you know me you know I love any and all things Keri Russell.  I think she's such a doll.  And, yes, I have quite the love for Felicity.  She lives a seemingly simple life outside of the Hollywood radar so it's a special treat to read about her in magazines.  Keri Russell's (renovated, by her husband!) Brooklyn Brownstone is featured in this month's issue of Elle Decor.  Fun!

The dark wood and white walls give the apartment such a fresh, organic feel.  I'm such a fan of mixing materials such as woods, metals, and fabrics.  I think they did a great job decorating this home!


My very favorite part:  the baseboards!  TO.  DIE.  FOR.

Pouf-tastic

I.  Love.  Poufs. 


Especially this exotic, funky, golden Moroccan embroidered pouf.  I want to have this pouf in my living room.  Poufs are perfect accent pieces that are both practical and easy on the eyes.  They provide decoration and extra seating! 


Feast your eyes on these great finds!

Visions

Visions:  those dreams that reside in my mind that I bring to life.  My wedding was stored in my head for seven months and on October 2nd I saw it come to life!  It was 100% perfect.  Exactly how I'd imagined everything and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!  My dream world was realized.

Smattering of LOVE

I haven't been blogging much about my upcoming wedding... mostly because I feel not everyone finds the nitty gritty of the planning process to be the most interesting topic in the whole world.  However, we are in the home stretch and all of my brainstorming and designing has come to a close.  Today I thought I'd share with you a blog version of my inspiration board that I've been looking at every day since February!  I love everything about it!

 

I am SO excited!

Posh Peacocks

Peacocks are regal, colorful, elegant, and so inspiring.  I am using peacock feathers in my fiance's boutonniere (and for the groomsmen and our dads).  I love the vivid hues and exotic flair!

This isn't the exact boutonniere I'm making but you can see the idea!
