Happy Friday! Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? How about the weekend? We’ll start our weekly six links off with some Valentine’s Day decor above. I wouldn’t mind if my foyer looked like that all year round! Have you noticed an abundance of neon lately? (I write this wearing a very neon pink shirt.) From clothing to home decor, it seems to be popping up here and there – and painting a door bright neon   is a fun way to incorporate it! On the contrary, I’m also loving soft palettes...

Don’t you just love a good navy blue? The navy blue that is really navy – not almost black and not that peacocky blue. Ooh, I sure do! I especially love navy blue walls accompanied by bright white crown molding. Or how about that monochromatic navy wall and lacquered fireplace? Yes, please! What do you think about navy blue as a wall color? [Images: 1 - 2 (can't find it on site so that's the pin!) - 3 - 4 ] Read Full Story

Today I’m feeling a mid-century modern kinda vibe. I’m not quite sure, but it may or may not be because of the Matthew Broderick / Ferris Bueller commerical from the Super Bowl. You know, because of Cameron’s house ! I’m drawn to mid-century design that focuses more on the modern, not the type of MCM decor that is frozen in time. Which is why I’m loving the mid-century home shown above. Located in Salt Lake City, it has all of my dream MCM qualities: classic architecture with updated... Read Full Story

Lately, I’ve been purchasing a salad similar to this one here at a local cafe by my office for $6 a day. I’ve been telling myself that it’s nice to support a local business, but then of course, I’m think “hello you’ve got to support yourself too!” Sometimes, after I cook dinner and clean up the kitchen, the last thing I want to do is make myself lunch. But on the other hand, really – how hard is it to throw a salad together in a tupperware? And that entire paragraph is a conversation I have... Read Full Story

Wanna Spoon Chair? Not the other kind of spoon, sorry! Designed by Philipp Aduatz, the Spoon Chair is an innovative modern chair made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer. As this material is used for motor sports and aerospace equipment, it is perfect for the unique shape of the Spoon Chair because of its high strength yet low weight. I wouldn’t mind leaning back into the contoured shape of this chair and taking a nice siesta – how about you?! Read Full Story

Are you all football, commercials and M.I.A.’d out after yesterday’s Super Bowl? I think I am. Or maybe I’m just ready to jump into some romantical and whimsical Valentine’s Day fun. It’s just about 8 days away, so there’s still some time to order gifts online and have them by next Tuesday. Since I haven’t done an Etsy round-up in quite a while, I scoured the site for all things heart-related. My favorite have to be the heart smittens! Such a cute name. Would you be able to get your...

TGIF! Any fun plans for the weekend? I’ll be tuning into the Super Bowl to watch the commercials and to see if I win any pools that I’m in – how about you?! As always, here are our weekly six links from the work week ending 2.3.12! 1) If you feel like taking a daydream vacation, check out these 15 unbelievable resorts on Freshome. 2) Speaking of the Super Bowl, did you know that Americans will eat more that 1.25 BILLION chicken wings on Sunday? And 4.4 million pizzas just from Pizza... Read Full Story

Happy Groundhog Day! As you probably have heard by now, Punxsutawney Phil saw this shadow this morning, signifying six more weeks of “winter.” I say “winter” because it’s been in the 60′s the past few days! How has it been where you live? I know it’s not an important – or realistic – holiday, but Groundhog Day fascinates me. I can’t get it to load right now – but I was looking at Groundhog.org earlier – and they have a Groundhog Club that had their annual Groundhog dinner last night. I... Read Full Story

Although we started with some Valentine’s Day inspiration yesterday and the ideas are flowing, they’ve got to be put on the back burner for some Super Bowl Sunday ideas, since it’s just a few days away. It’s kind of ironic when you think about it, if you stereotype the two events as one super-macho and one super-girly, that they’re so close to each other! Fine by me, especially if my guy wins a nice chunk of change in a Super Bowl pool, I better have a nice V-day gift coming my way! Anyway... Read Full Story

Valentine’s Day is just a little bit less than two weeks away and it’s popping up in my mind. I always think about doing something fun and putting together a nice table, dinner, desserts, etc and then I get lazy. So maybe if I start now, I’ll have it all together by February 14th. To get myself in gear, I rounded up some Valentine’s Day tables and displays for some inspiration. Maybe I’ll search for some printables to make things a bit easier! What about you? Do you have anything up your... Read Full Story
