Let the countdown begin. Are you ready for the Holidays? I managed to escape with my girlfriends last weekend and crossed the border to shop 'til we dropped. We had a fabulous time.

This weekend, I'm wrapping gifts and getting the house ready for the holidays. Got to go, it's my Christmas get together with friends tonight and I don't want to be late.

Too much candy for us yesterday. I think I will eat fruits all day, LOL. Such a great idea, don't you think! I have to try this the next time I entertain.

Fall is finally here. The leaves are changing colors, the air is cool and I find myself cooking some fall favorites. This is my favorite time of year for everything, food, fall fashion, pumpkins and fall foliage.

Here are my favorite finds for this week;

Love these Leg Warmers by Made by Lex

Love the mini pumpkin pie bites by Bakerella. Must try, so easy!

Mulled Cider (in a Crockpot)! Perfect for a weekend of entertaining

Boo...

We had a fabulous time in NYC last weekend. We ventured downtown, walked Time Square, ate in Little Italy and shopped in Soho. Daniel loved the Lego store in Rochefeller Plaza. Tanya bought her sweet 16 gift at Tiffanys. My favorite shopping was at Century 21 and Macys.

Love this picture we took while walking in Soho.

What a great idea!

Contemporary Farmhouse style

2011-08-01T20:38:00.000-04:00

Hello my friends, as you know, I love entertaining guests. Grab your coffee, meet my guest Mari from Design Shuffle

Hello everyone! I'm Mari and I write for Design Shuffle, a terrific social networking site for interior designers, architects, design professionals and enthusiasts to upload their work and receive lots of exposure. I love my work because I get to explore the beautiful world of interior design every day and write about it, along with the great decorating ideas I discover.

Today's guest post here at Casa Mia is about contemporary farmhouse style. Growing in popularity, this updated country look merges our beloved farmhouse with new and exciting contemporary design. The result is the best of both worlds, seen in traditional farmhouses, suburban country homes and city lofts and townhouses around the globe.

Farmhouse in the city! What could be better than that? This has to be one of the all-time top contemporary farmhouse interiors ever. And this gorgeous dining space is in a New York brownstone right in the middle of the city.

La Maison Boheme via

Contemporary furnishings and lighting seem right at home in this rustic barn turned fabulous home. From the brown and white striped rug to the oversized globe chandelier, everything about this entry and sitting room welcomes guests with a warmth and style.

Belle Vivir via

Nothing says farmhouse more than barn doors, but these blue masterpieces in Sharon and Ozzie Osborne's home are a unique take on that design statement. This room has a traditional look with a lovely contemporary twist.

Arch Daily via

What can we say about this compelling minimalist approach to a contemporary farmhouse bedroom design? A variety of wood treatments in amazing patterns makes decorative accessories and art unnecessary. A beautifully handcrafted and totally unique space.

MS Building via

Merging old and new stunningly, the ultra modern master bath in a British barn conversion shows off a quintessential farmhouse bathtub, the roll top claw foot tub. One of the best bathroom design ideas ever.

Apartment Therapy via

A renovated 1920s farmhouse has emerged as a perfect mix of farmhouse and contemporary. Taken from a multitude of expected small, dark spaces to an open and airy dream home, this Rhode Island home is the best of both styles.

A Life's Design via

This kitchen has many very traditional farmhouse elements, but it definitely doesn't take itself seriously. Who could have seen those contemporary bar stools coming? Totally whimsical and unexpected.

Cote De Texas via

A contemporary home goes farmhouse with American antiques, folk art and a touch of industrial. What a perfect mix—sofas with clean straight lines and pure white slipcovers, Native American rug and antique decorative objects.

J'adore New York - Isabelle Lafleche

Happy Friday everyone! Another week has flown by.
I hate to say this but, I can't believe August is around the corner...eek! So much to do, so little time.

In case you're looking for a great book to read this weekend, J'adore New York is a perfect book to read by the pool or at the beach. Don't forget to pack your sunscreen and drink a mojito!

Come back soon, I have a few surprises planned in August!

Enjoy your weekend!

Turquoise in the bedroom

2011-05-21T15:21:00.000-04:00

Turquoise is a great color for the bedroom. We're loving it for everything from modern to traditional to eclectic style rooms. It can be paired with creams and whites for a crisp look. Combine it with orange, pink, or green for a preppy color pop. Mix black and turquoise for a sophisticated décor.

Studio Ten 25 via Design Shuffle (via)

Turquoise works for walls, bedding, carpet, accessories and lighting. Choose a turquoise light fixture or throw to add a little touch of turquoise to your space. Or paint a wall, choose a wallpaper with turquoise background or accent colors, or hang turquoise curtains. A little or a lot of turquoise all depends on your personal preference.

Interior Designing (via)

We love the deep turquoise upholstered bed, striped curtains, and lighter blue accents in this soothing bedroom -- feels fresh.

Creative Juice (via)

This room's wall and trim all painted the same turquoise color is a bold statement. We love the white tree painted above the bed, along with the orange & white accents.

Bouncing Off the Walls (via)

A painted turquoise nightstand is a great way to add turquoise to the bedroom. Just a single turquoise piece can add a nice burst of color.

Design Ideas Daily (via)

We love the turquoise headboard, painted desk, and table lamp in this bedroom. The brighter turquoise is nicely balanced with more subtle turquoise in curtains and other accessories.

Top Celebrity Fashion 2011 (via)

This might be our favorite bedroom. We love the combination of turquoise, cream, yellow, and gold as well as the layers of patterns and variation in hues. The gold and white pendant light on top each bed is a nice addition to the lovely space.

Gorgeous chinoiserie wallpaper with blue birds is offset with bright turquoise table lamps and small Chinese inspired stools. We also like the turquoise against the black and white rug.

Inspire Bohemia (via)

For a modern girly feeling, turquoise paired with hot pink and white is a fantastic combination. Love the fuchsia against the aqua wall.

Cloud Front (via)

Turquoise and chartreuse are a classic, preppy color combination that can also be modern, as seen in this bedroom.
