Have you seen Serena and Lily’s fall catalog?  It’s hard to beleive that they started as a children’s line… ’cause they’re all grown up.  I love their shop by color option.

I have had a lot of readers ask me about our kitchen countertops over the past year.  They are Carrara Marble slabs from Dominion Granite.  I love having marble in our kitchen, but I also don’t mind the patina that builds on marble countertops.  I like to think of them as my kitchen memoirs.  Many people stay away from marble because of 1.) the patina and 2.) the cost. Screen Shot 2013-08-27 at 12.43.26 PM

Now, take a look at these countertops.  What do they all have in common?

Don’t they look incredible?  At $16/ sq. ft. they are a great alternative to marble.  Formica sure has come a long way!

This baby was simply irresistable.  And now also SUPER cheap.

Some of you may be lucky enough to find the pistachio cane print pillows at HomeGoods, if not, these are a great alternative.

It all started with this scarf.  I used this custom frame to showcase it.

The curtains are from here.  I had this greek key trim sewn along the edges to add a little bit of personality.  The lucite rod is custom.  Please email me if you are interested in one.

Dresser Vignette

We took our old Crate and Barrel dresser and updated it with these ring pulls.

Greys & Pinks

The bedside tables are from HomeGoods, we used the same pulls on those too.  Many of you have contacted me about the acrylic frame.  If you are interested in one, please email me.

Vanity Tray

The mirrored tray is from HomeGoods.

Guest Bedroom

The lamps are from Ikea, the pink pillows are from HomeGoods and the grey pillow was made with  this fabric.  You can get the chandy here.
