Round Here.

Memorial Day Weekend was not exactly a time of relaxation around here.   Karen, Dad and I went back to the beach for one last cram session of work.

On the way into town, we stopped and scooped up some essential accessories.

Many a light fixtures were installed.

Beds were made.

Tile was installed.

Accessories hung.

Tables styled.


And much painting, spackling, scrubbing and moving in between.  We arrived home late Saturday night and I awoke to a little surprise Momma Squatter left us.  Aren’t they amazing???

E’s Room: Desk Chair Makeover.

A few months ago, E and I scooped up this chair at a consignment shop.  I loved it because it is a bit smaller than your typical chair- perfect for a seven year old!  While I love zebra, this was not a good zebra print, which was hard to sell E on because she thought it looks like all of the crap she sees in Justice (can we talk about how that store is the bane of my existence?)
So I pulled together a few fabrics that worked in her room and the one I liked best was a bathrobe that I bought at TJ Maxx for $19.99- which E basically stole because she loved it so much.  
While I couldn’t use it on the entire chair, we put it on the back and used the leftover ostrich fabric from our dining room chairs on the front (kid-proof) and the fabric leftover from her bench for the piping.  I love it, and more importantly, SHE loves it!

Full reveal on the way!

Red Egg.

I am one of those people that scours Craigslist and Etsy for Bamboo chairs.  Generally, when I find the perfect chair, it is not in usable shape, or will cost so much money to be repaired, it is no longer a steal.  (Keeping my fingers crossed that these are as sturdy as the listing stated.)  Problem solved.  Let me introduce you to Red Egg.

They have a huge selection of Asian-Inspired pieces, all handcrafted in the Philippines.  Which one is your favorite?

Design Crush: Ana Cordeiro

For the past few years I have unknowingly been admiring/ lusting after/ pinning the designs of Portuguese designer Ana Cordeiro.
 I am drawn to her use of bold colors and lines.
It seems she does a lot of commercial spaces.  I just love how she defies the rules of your typical office design.  Gone are the boring colors, prints and furniture.  Helloooo style.
Evidently, she likes stripes.  So do I.
Her residential designs ain’t to shabby either.
Check out her store here.
