Wrap it Up.

Ever since painting our hutch in the foyer red, I have felt like it was missing something. I was looking for the perfect fabric to back the shelves with. I now believe that perfect fabric does not exist. I did however have a few sheets of this decorative paper in the basement. I thought I’d give it a try.

Because the back of the hutch is not flat, I wrapped foam board pieces in the paper.

And voila!

More pics to come once I finish styling!

Better Late Than Never.

I am a little behind in posting pics of the cruise. Lou (the Technology Uni-bomber) knocked my camera off of a table on the last day of the cruise… and it is donezo. We had to pony up money for a replacement…. These kids are expensive.

But they are worth it. They absolutely loved it.

They had lots of bonding time with their cousins.

I couldn’t resist this pic… Can you even stand how cute they are in these wet suits???

Our dolphin, Jill.

Castaway Cay.

Lots of this.

And this.

All for these two. Happy 50th Anniversary Grammy and Pop Pop, we love you!

Fashion Friday: Summer (Accessory) Lovin’

Alas, Summer is slowly coming to a close. It’s time for back to school shopping… (Always gets me a little excited) Wools, Tweeds, Cashmere… Fall is by far my favorite time of year. That being said, there are ways to create a perennial summer by incorporating a few bold summer-like accessories. Here are a few of my faves…

Shane Earrings | Pom Pom Heels | Lipstick | Bauble Necklace

Reese Witherspoon’s Ojai Ranch.

As if there wasn’t enough reasons for my girl crush on Reese… Check out her Ranch in Ojai, California in this month’s Elle Decor. This is where she married Jim Toth last year and apparently she recently offered it as a safe haven for R Pat to escape all of the trampire drama. No doubt, I need more rich friends.

So earthy and peaceful.

Reese said that you can’t even get a cell reception here. Sounds perfect to me!

Serenity now.

I am guessing this is where Ava (aka Reese 2.0) catches some Z’s.

And Deacon.

Reese and her adorable nieces. What great maternity style she has!

Can’t Teach An Old Dog….

So I finally got my Craig’s List Chairs reupholstered in the perfect shade of turquoise. Looks like Bailey doesn’t give a sh%t about the new house rules.
