The Happiest Friggin’ Place on Earth.

After our Spring Break plans blew up, my sister was kind enough to let the girls and I crash their Spring Break.  The girls were so happy to be with their cousins and made memories that will last a lifetime.

We planned to spend three days at Disney, but after two full days I couldn’t take any more.  Lou and I went to Dad’s house while E stayed with Karen’s family to brave Hollywood Studios.  Word to the wise:  Don’t EVER go Disney on Spring Break.  I think that we maybe got on 4 rides each day. Although it is the “Happiest Place on Earth”  I have never been happier than when I left Orlando.   We had to laugh as we left the park at 11:00 the last night everyone looked absolutely MISERABLE.  There were a few bright moments, and they made it all worth it.

 This trip has validated what I already know about myself.  I hate crowds, waiting and long drives.  I am more of a sit and relax on the beach kind of girl.  And after escaping Orlando, we were able to get in a little R & R.

And then there was the dreaded 14 hour drive home.  Just so you know, there is no “off” button on this one.   Uggggg…..

I’m Hungry.

Many people ask me where I come up with color schemes.  Honestly, it can come from anywhere; a dress I see on the street, a pillow, often times I get inspiration from things found in nature.  One of the most unusual places that I find color inspiration is in food.  For those of you who follow me on Pinterest, you know that I keep a Color Inspiration Board.  Take a look at how these food color combos can create a beautiful space.

For instance, take a look at these food vignettes, and some of the rooms I found to match.

Dome-Da-Dome-Dome.

This picture from yesterday’s Turtle Shell Post has me thinking about dome chairs today.   One thing leads to another they say!
Inspired by French Regency these chairs are seen in a lot of Kelly Wearstler’s projects.
This one isn’t designed by Kelly, but I am loving the zebra!
Don’t you just want to curl up in one and read?
