I’m loving this combination of deep purple with gold and a hint of navy. Must be my fall cravings coming on.

I would love to build a wooden farmhouse table similar to these with the width of the white one. Throw in a mix of chairs and a few dents in the table and I think we should be set for kids!

Hey guys! Happy Friday! I’m off to an appointment and hopefully will hear the baby’s heartbeat again. So excited! Have a great weekend!

Faux Bois your furniture

Katie — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:32:51 +0000

While I normally am against the 90’s style faux painting techniques that were so popular back in the day, Martha Stewart has a more updated approach to faux painting that I can get on board with. Namely, her faux bois tool that recreates the look of wood grain can really look fabulous on a piece of furniture. To learn more about this technique, go here.

HIgh Street Market

Love this color combo.

Big News around here…

Katie — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 20:50:03 +0000

I’m pregnant! I’ll be 17 weeks on Friday and finally starting to feel like myself again. I’m sure you’ve all been wondering why the posts around here have been so few and far in between. Now you know! My first trimester and the beginning of my second has left me feeling terrible and the last thing I could do was muster up the strength to write a blog post! Now that I’m feeling better I have big plans to write daily again here on this blog about design related things (including nursery design now ) and I’ll be starting a new baby blog to keep those of you interested in all things baby around here. As soon as I get that set up, I’ll add the link to this blog so you can have access to it if you wish.

Thanks to all of you who have stuck around during this dry period on the blog. I really appreciate all of my readers and am looking forward to posting more regularly again! If any of you have some ideas of things you’d like to see coming up on the blog, I’d absolutely LOVE your input. Please leave me a comment at the end of this post with any suggestions you may have about what you’d like to read about!

Oh, and here’s a pic to keep your curiosity satisfied on my growing bump

Shop Online at Furbish!

Katie — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:52:54 +0000

I love Jamie Meare’s store Furbish Studio, but it is located in North Carolina so that rules out me getting to shop there. I was so excited to learn today that she has opened an online shop selling all her fabulous designer items. Definitely go check it out and find unique, beautiful items!

Fun Pillow Resource

If you’re looking for fun pillows in graphic patterns, this Etsy store is a great option.

Here are a few of my faves:

Typically I don’t spend $60 on a pillow but I think for these unique fabrics it is worth it. You’re not going to find these at Target and sometimes it’s worth paying a little more for something unique and well-made.
