</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Happy Summer friends, last time we chatted it was the dead of winter and I was reaching for some color to brighten my mood. Well now it is the heat of summer and I have been camped out (not literally although the above picture looks heavenly for a day) at the beach for the last 2 weeks. Currently I am sitting on the back porch that overlooks the beautiful inner coastal water way and if I didn't know any better it would appear as if I were on some small Caribbean island. The water is a soothing sea foam shade of blueish green. We have been snorkeling, paddle boarding, and savoring this sweet spot...I will be sad to say goodbye. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Here on this little island oasis of the NC coast life moves at a slower pace, the stars shine brightly at night, the sunset is the most gorgeous with shades of pink, we can ride our bikes to get where we want to go, and the locals are happy to see you upon your return. I have turned Fifty Shades of blush (yes Mr. Grey is whom I am referring to and I read all 3 in 5 days), eaten the most delectable <a href="http://www.enjoyfrontporch.com/flavors.php?id=1">ice cream</a> (definitely don't try the Nana's banana pudding, I took down a pint), and enjoyed special time with my family.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Sweet island time, how I love you so.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh there is no better way to end a productive holiday weekend than watching a little eye candy on the red carpet in the comfort of your bed while eating some Ben and Jerry's with your 7 year old. Yes, that is how I watched the Golden Globes this year, no champagne girls gathering (will save that for the Oscars) or glamorous outfit of mine own, just bedded down enjoying the beauty of the evening with one of my favorite little persons...my how times have changed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am working with a new client on her new baby girl's nursery and a new big boy room for her son to transition into upon his baby sister's arrival. I have mentioned before but I will say it again, children's rooms are one of my favorite spaces to create. There are so many fun elements that you can incorporate into a little ones room not mention the array of colors that can be used.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Needless to say it has me seeing the world through rainbow colored glasses. No, not in a pyschedelic Pee Wee Herman kind of way (well maybe), but rather "a pop of color" here and there, make the world a better place to play.<br />
I have this <a href="http://www.matthewwilliamson.com/home/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Matthew Williamson</span></a> peacock scarf I adore as much as I do a peacock, the designer with his brilliance, and his use of splendid color. I wear it to pep up my blah winter blues and it makes me oh so happy. Maybe one day it will make me happy in my <a href="http://www.therugcompany.info/designer-collection/matthew-williamson/peacock-light.htm"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">stairwell</span></a> too, sigh. The <a href="http://www.therugcompany.info/designer-collection/matthew-wi"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">kaftan</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"> </span>an Elizabeth Taylor stunner too would do the trick, oh to have it all.<br />
Hope this puts a little color in your otherwise monotone day.<br />

They painted peace signs on canvases in little children's art smocks, with child size chairs and tables in a whimsical setting. Nancie Norvell the owner was wonderful and assured me that they were completely fine even though I was about to jump out of my skin because they were so crazy! All in all 2 unique parties and happy children one year older.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

You see a ton of zebra hides gracing the floors of the chicest abodes in magazines and I love using them layered over natural rugs.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In my world of design <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/dc/how-to/how-to-create-an-antique-mirror-effect-127227">antique mirrors</a> are one of those items that I love finding when shopping. The right one can add a certain old world or vintage look to any room. What I love most is not limiting this antique mirror to a small frame but rather a whole wall. I have had this on my wist list for quite some time with a wall in my dining room in mind and I look forward to one day having my own mirror on the wall. There are so many wonderful elements that these mirrors add but the main one being the illusion of space. How fantastic are these images ranging from living spaces to kitchens with walled mirrors? Oh which one is the fairest of them all?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yippity skippity, yes I said that, the weekend is here!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I am so excited to go to bed tonight without packing a lunch and wake up tomorrow at my leisure. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not going to lie, it is obvious, getting a post out is hard these days. After sitting down with a life coach this week there is no wonder? Going over my schedule as I am sure with any busy mother, who works, husband travels, and runs the show at home, keeping everything in check is a full time job itself.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She asked me the question, how important is this blog to you? Is this something we can give up to make your life easier? Well no, not exactly...</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so appreciative everyday of what the blog has done for me that I cannot possibly imagine turning my back from it at this point, it has come so far. I have met amazing people, had opportunities that would not have been presented otherwise, and it has given me a little voice of my own. So to keep it attainable and in perspective without disappointing myself or my lovely readers, for now I am going to post once a week which happens to be what has been going on for sometime, I am just getting real with it myself).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> My dedicated day will be Wednesday as of now, and I will hope to bring you something wonderful and inspirational, even if it is just a snake skinned wallpaper that I am dying for! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My family is headed to a friends farm for the afternoon/night to take family pictures. It is such a beautiful place with an old home place surrounded by rustic barns, fields as far as the eye stretches, and lots of special memories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If I had a farm house which is my other dream besides the "Island Life" I may look to some of these images I have been saving for inspiration.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What an amazingly beautiful day here in NC. A little storm came through last night and voila perfection revealed itself in the form of a sunny, crisp, fall day. Although I am a little under the weather of which I am blaming the flu shot not the tasty strawberry infused basil vodka cocktails I had last night celebrating a friend's 40th. My children are at the farmer's market enjoying the day with my sweet husband who is letting me relax, enjoy some alone time, and tend to my blog for which a post is long overdue. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All the animal prints I am seeing around are too much for me, I love in particular a tasteful leopard print. It is timeless, classic, yet fun, it adds that extra oomph to any room. I love to incorporate an animal print in every home I work on. It is also something I work into my wardrobe here and there, really I could go on and on about my somewhat animal addiction!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

If you want a touch of animal these go a long way! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Oh and let's not forget the skinny pumpkin spice latte with light whip, mmm my favorite time of the year for certain.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We all were a little creative around here including my husband and daughter who sewed together their Indian Princess vests. They then added a few patches and selected their tribe names. My daughter, flying peacock, (she came up with this on her own, her mother's daughter for certain) and my husband, growling bear. They then took a small peacock feather we had from a friend's farm cut it down to the eye and sewed it to my daughter's vest. Needless to say I was very impressed...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am always inspired and encouraged to try something out when I see a creative idea that is whimsical yet chic at the same time. When I ran across the wall designs by artist <a href="http://www.flatvernacular.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Payton</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Cosell Turner</span></a> featured on <a href="http://www.elledecor.com/decorating/articles/fad-fancy"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Elle Decor</span></a>, I was completely blown away! The image below is a room with walls designed by Turner, beautiful right? Nice colors, lovely look...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">well, it is entirely made out of dime store-stickers. Bananas, shamu, Dorothy, and even big wheels are the part to this whole creation. This 25 year old has made her mark, in a big way, it just so happens to be in the form of stickers and the wallpaper company she founded with her fiance' <a href="http://www.flatvernacular.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Flat Vernacular</span></a>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now if I can figure out a way to use this idea to cover the markings my daughter (aka graffiti artist) has made on the walls in her room then all would be good in the world.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

No, not the wall kind although they do make me happy, I am speaking of a beautiful print on a fabric, wallpaper, or piece of clothing...it is sometimes enough to make me squeal out loud with delight. I know this may sound silly to some but for those of you, and you know who you are, there is nothing like seeing a divine print for the first time. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It recently came up with a client about using an existing print she has in her home in another room with a different color way?

I was able to have an end of summer rendezvous at the NC coast while celebrating the wedding of my husband's college roommate. There is definitely something to be said for having a Friday wedding, we still had 3 days of lounging on the beach once the wedding festivities were over. I will say good times were had by all, and that might be an understatement.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have this collection of twin bed images that I have collected and thought to share today.

It was all such a blur to me, seeing the storm on the radar, having the wedding, thankfully not having to reschedule our honeymoon because the hurricane had already passed through, but while in the French West Indies (St. Barths) of all places there was the Atlantic Beach pier being rocked! Thankfully everyone was okay back home but whew, I bet some bride is having the same crisis about her wedding tomorrow, poor thing.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

It was so nice to lie in bed this morning and listen to the sounds of thunder and rain while fading in and out of my sleepy slumber.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have had a rather eventful week involving a little work and a whole lot of fun! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Mid-week we surprised my 6 year old daughter with tickets to see Selena Gomez in concert. She was beyond thrilled and relished the idea that she was an only child even if for only 24 hours. Our road trip took us to the Queen City, Charlotte, NC which included her losing a big front tooth, a much anticipated stop at <a href="http://www.ikea.com/">Ikea</a>, and a few wrong turns. All in all one for the books.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Before I left Charlotte we popped into women's clothing boutique <a href="http://www.capitolcharlotte.com/">Capitol</a> for a design fix. Yes it is gorgeous women's clothing but the interior is amazing and it along with owner <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/blog/qandalaurapoole">Laura Vinroot Poole</a> have been featured in several <a href="http://www.shelterpop.com/2010/08/05/veranda-dara-caponigro/">publications</a>. It so happens that Charlottean interior designer <a href="http://www.allthebestblog.co.uk/2009/03/profile-barrie-benson.html">Barrie Benson</a> helped Poole with <a href="http://www.style.com/stylefile/2009/08/what-theyll-be-wearing-in-charlotte-this-fall/">Capitol</a> as well as her home which was featured in an issue of Domino Magazine back in the day. A month or two after Poole's home was featured, Barrie Benson popped up on the cover too with a glimpse into her mid-century ranch style home. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have had a design crush since that time and have been unable to find anything about Mrs. Benson. Although I was pleasantly surprised to find her in this month's <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/article/new-southern-belle?page=0%2C3">Garden and Gun</a> magazine (that I picked up at Barnes and Nobles right before we went into Capitol) in an article with other lovely women as "Redefining the Southern Belle"...strange how things like that happen.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Great inspiration all around. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...enjoy! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I finally feel back in my groove, recharged and ready to go. I picked up these beautiful purple roses last week at the wholesaler, appropriately named Ocean Breeze. In my blue porcelain pot these are my 2 favorite things in my home right now. Fresh flowers can brighten any day and home so if you have some in your yard bring them inside or pick some up at the market, it will make your week special!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I always love shades of purple but lately I just can't get enough, with accents of orange it is so fresh, and earth tones make it mature. </span></div><br />

I can tell you it is not so fun playing catch up from being away on a relaxing vacation. My daughter has been at a Spanish camp this week and it started at 8:00 each day, hello reality and early mornings again. I came back committed to posting on the blog a few times a week but barely have had time to look at my blogger dashboard..I know, can I get some cheese with that wine, don't even get me started about the sweltering 102 degree heat!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the other hand I was able to catch up with a few of my clients, make some head way on my website, and even the ole office got a good cleaning.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have been contemplating painting the floor of my screened in porch but I just can't decide if solid or pattern is the way to go for that space. After watching <a href="http://www.marymcdonaldinc.com/">Mary McDonald</a> on this season's <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/million-dollar-decorators">Million Dollar Decorators</a> I have been inspired to go a little more bold in my flooring options. Mary's signature look is glamour but she is also known for her bold use of pattern on the floor as shown in the images above and below. In my collection there seems to be more paint on the floor in kitchens and a color favorite, green, excellent choice. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So I put away my computer, wrapped up the work week, packed the family, and headed back east for a nice, long, much needed vacation. It was wonderful visiting with out of town friends we hadn't seen in quite some time, relaxing, swimming, and eating... a lot! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Any time I spend an extended amount of time at the coast with my kids I pledge my allegiance to moving to some small Caribbean island where the boys can run around with their shirts off, shoes are only for special occasions, the water is a crystal color of bluish green, and everyone is on island time.

Together they have created a whimsical abode capable of keeping you entertained for hours on end. A pond to fish in, gator to get you there, chickens to chase, vegetables to eat, pretty flowers to pick, and plenty of beautiful places to relax...hmm, what else do you need? I am realizing more and more everyday not much else.
