Sometimes I feel like I need to check in with my iPhone to see if things in my life really happened. That is the case last weekend- I arrived home from NYC at midnight on Thursday and scurried for the next 36 hours to pull together E’s birthday party as well as a porch photoshoot. Despite an amazing level of stress, fast food, acne and lack of showers- we got it done. I can’t wait to show you all the pictures! Here’s what I do have (from my iPhone.)
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.
Not to mention their new wallpaper collection.
And their kid’s line just keeps getting better and better. Here are my two faves.
I adore these tassel panels.
(btw… check out how they inexpensively framed fabric with needlepoint hoops- genius!)
And these color framed shams work for kids of all ages! Lurve.
I received a lot of questions about the pillows on our porch last week… here is the skinny.
These guys were so cheap, it was nearly a crime.
This baby was simply irresistable. And now also SUPER cheap.
Unfortunately, these are sold out at C. Wonder.
I bought two of these at OKL.
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.
And slowly, but surely our guest bedroom started to come together.
I scored these bamboo mirrors from Etsy.
This secretary’s desk was a Craig’s List find.
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.
We took our old Crate and Barrel dresser and updated it with these ring pulls.
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.
The mirrored tray is from HomeGoods.
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.
Y’all come back now, ya hear?

I think I’ve made it clear that JC Penney is crushing it lately. Exhibit A, these pillows I found on clearance for the back yard. They were so cheap, it feels like a crime.
Exhibit B? They come in turquoise too.
The prosecution rests, your honor.
Last week I showed you some pictures of dining room with a promise of living room pictures on the horizon. I always keep my promises people, so here you go!
The gold leaf tray was a HomeGoods DIY.
I love this piece. It was a Mother’s Day gift made by E last year.
See how I made this butterfly collection here. The stools are from HomeGoods!
It took a long time to find just the right paper for the ceiling. I was thrilled that the winner was from Home Depot! The chairs were a Craigslist find that I reupholstered.
As you may know, the curtains were custom painted.
I had my Grandmother’s piano bench reupholstered with a metallic cowhide. 
Remember the Nate Berkus turtle shells that I painted? Aren’t they fab?
Found this needlepoint on Craiglist. Had her made into a pillow. We had leftover turquoise linen from the wingbacks, so I had two pillows made. The Schumacher pillows are from Etsy.
We love our new living room. What I love most is that we didn’t break the bank creating it.
