New Bedding

We got new bedding ( a while ago)....and we love it.  I'm just getting around to sharing.

Euro Shams: Pottery Barn

Duvet cover and King pillow cases 100% Belgium Linen: Restoration Hardware

Standard pillow Organic Bamboo:  Pottery Barn

Monogram accent pillows:  Williams and Sonoma

If I could make one recommendation to anyone considering a monogrammed item for their home, Williams and Sonoma does not disappoint!  We have these monogrammed pillows, as well as monogrammed bath towels and they are oh so AMAZING!  They've lasted for almost 4 years and are still going strong.  Invest dollars where you see fit, ours were put toward items we are still in love with.

Coming up this week, the Style Me Pretty feature I didn't get to posting last week, and more!

Tuesday Tunes

I can listen to Band of Horses pretty much anytime of the day, over and over again nonstop.  They just evoke one of those sounds that jives with my taste, no matter what mood I'm in.

This morning, I'm sitting in our comfy bed working on the laptop surrounded my fluffy pillows and my good 'ol Starbucks (that hubs kindly brings me frequently- oh the best), a cream cheese pumpkin muffin (no comments T-Tams- I'm kinda being good, sort of), and the blinds slightly cracked open.  I wish I could delay time so I don't have to get up and drive to work.  I have some fun Etsy orders coming up and look forward to working on those in the evenings and early mornings.  A glimpse of my morning:

I'm also stoked on some goodies that we picked up this weekend while running errands, so I thought I'd share the small things that make me smile:

Martha lunch container with handy-dandy ice pack and all-in-one 3 container deal-io!  LOVE!

Two FREE Mac lipsticks (yes folks, recycle your empty Mac containers and when you've gathered 6, bring 'em in for a free lipstick).

Fresh Basil- Love the smell, love the taste, love the freshness!

It's Happened

It's finally happened- hubster and I found a sofa we love!  It's absolutely amazing and I'm pretty convinced that we need to start tucking away some funds to make it ours.

This sofa is an over sized, deep, cushy, down-filled monstrous beast.  I love it!  I also can't get over the gorgeous linen cover (I have a soft spot of amazing linens), and the classic, yet modern feel of it is just up my alley.  The second you sit down in it, you sink into the cushions, as it sits low to the ground.  This is what I want.  I want to be completely comfortable when sitting in a sofa and I want enough room for hubs to take his typical right side seat, and for me to sprawl out across the rest of it right next to him (who are we kidding- when have I had time to do this lately)?  In any case, I'm loving this awesome find from Restoration Hardware.

The style is called the Belgian Classic Roll Arm found here and I was able to snap a few photos during our discovery at the store.  Give me some Belgian linen please:

We were also quite taken by the amazing occasional table, it was gigantic, gorgeous, and was set on castors- which really seemed to have no purpose, but I guess I can appreciate anything that has the option of rolling. This is the amazing Dutch Industrial coffee table:  Can you scope hubs in the background admiring it?

And since I can't get enough linen, we had to put the vintage-washed Belgian linen duvet and shams on the wish list as well- the hand of these are like no other, over the top soft with such an elegant appeal.

I've been a fan of RH's paint colors for some time now, they really get it when it comes to the hues of colors!  If one really knew all the time it takes to research a color and get just the right percentages of white/black mixed in to make an amazing shade, they'd realize why there are individuals that hold the title of "color specialist".  Yes, really, I can appreciate and awesome color that has been thought through!  Although my only request to RH concerning this matter is- offer QUART sizes please, that sampler size is really a joke (hence 'sampler' I guess), and not everyone needs a gallon.  Thanks!
