The perfect woven bag

 

Happy Monday all! 

 I hope your weekend was wonderful... we are riding high off of a winning sports filled weekend here.  

There is so much to share and I am sorry to be so late with this post!  I fell hard for this photo- oh I know it is simple and clean and just a bunch of bags, but bags are one of my favorite things..

I like them all from the canvas shopping bag to the woven tote, the leather clutch to the vintage handbag.. I simply cannot get enough of them (which is a problem)!

Do you have a favorite?  Do you have an obsession like me? 

Aside from the bags this week is going to be full of wonderful things.. we are getting prepared for our upcoming One Kings Lane on November 11th.  Adding wonderful new pieces to the shop and digging in on a couple of projects to get them moving before the holiday rush!  I am also looking for a new challenge for myself for 2014 - I am so close to completing my 50 books for this year, I can hardly believe it!  

I hope you will join me for all of it!

Oh my goodness here we are again with the whole Monday business!  Well let's make it a good one.. I always start the day with a list like a mile long and for some reason it is either a get it all done day or a get NOTHING done day.  I finally got my office cleaned out so it is like a fresh start here this week!  Here's a little fall neutral inspiration for us all this week!  

(The best way to start a Monday is to make plans for Saturday!) 

Happy Monday all!

Mondays...

 

Oh my goodness friends.. it is Monday here for sure!  So many things on the to do list, so much I want to share it is overwhelming.. I spent a good part of my weekend looking for the perfect style in which to reupholster some chairs that I bought in Paris.. Fabric, tufting, matching.. so many questions!  

Wishing you a wonderful Monday!  I better get to it!

Monday wishes and a Thank you!

 

Oh how I wish I was playing hookie today and taking this little guy on a picnic with the hubby!  Perfection I think.

The weekend has ended and we are knee deep in design goodness here- wishing you a wonderful start to the week!

Also a big thank you to everyone who takes the time to follow here and elsewhere we just hit 10,000 + on pinterest!

Colorful Curtains!

Do you have the Monday blues? I sure do. It's my last day of my lucky full month and one day off between semesters. Although I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things, I can't help but want to continue relaxing for just a few more days. The best cure to the blues, however, is a bright injection of good interior design. Today, I bring you this in colorful curtains.

^ Designer Samantha Pynn livens up a black and white scheme with these blue floral curtains. The fabrics are from The Finnish Place. I think the curtains absolutely steal the show in this kitchen.

^ The two images above use the same beautiful floral and fruitful curtain to set off the white walls. I got them from different sources, so I'm not sure whether or not they are from the same living space. Either way, both feature a beautiful use of the bold fabric.

^ Curtains aren't just for windows you know! Add a pop of colour to your closets with this fun idea.

^ I'm loving these pink floral beauties.

My favourite featured look here is Sam Pynn's. In fact, I think she's brilliant with curtains in most of her designs, adding piping or colour bands to simple ready made drapes in many instances. What's your favourite?
Oh ya, and CHEER UP. Hope this helped bring a smile to your face!
Happy Monday,
