A Few New Goodies And Some Progress In The Dining Room

Hello Sweeties near and far away, I wanted to share a few new goodies with you today. 
I worked a tiny bit on our formal dining room Friday night. I am such a slacker.....
it's been month and it's still not all finished and pulled together.

So last week I went to Cost Plus World Market and found these super gorgeous
Distressed Metal Filigree Lucy Lanterns . 
I put them on the window sill in the dining room

My Cozy Outdoor Spaces

Hello Loves, how has your weekend been? I am finally caught up with work & all
after having been on vacation. This weekend I played around on our patio
spaces a bit, trying to get a more cozy feel out there!!!!

I purchased this cute white SOLIG NET FROM IKEA 
before our vacation and finally had a chance
to hang it up this week ....love it so cute!!!!

Back From Vaca With Tons of Inspiration from Model Homes in Arizona

Hello Loves, I hope you are all having a super good summer so far. 
We just got back from a little vacation last night to see my 
In-Laws in Arizona. One thing I always love to do down here 
is visit furnished model homes, since they have so many of them. 
So without further chatting, here are some of my faves 
(Not In Any Particular Order) 
Just enjoy the eye candy peeps!!!!

GORGEOUS PATIO .... 
I wanted to steal all the pillows here

Some Garden Stuff and Decorating The Back Of The House

Hello Sweeties, I hope you all have been enjoying the beginning of summer so far. 
I have been playing in the back yard a bit this weekend. 

Mid-Century Modern Mix & Match Style Challenge With Chairish

Hello Loves, today I have an extra special blog post for you. I was invited by Chairish 
to take part of an exclusive Mix n Match Style Challenge using pieces from their 
Mid-Century Modern Collection. Today, more than ever, the Mid-Century Modern 

look is everywhere. DVRs are set to capture Mad Men's final season playing on AMC. 
Turn on The Daily Show and you'll see the guests sitting in classic Knoll office chairs.
It's safe to say, the style is making a serious comeback! 

One of the major things I have learned since I started to blog is that the more you mix and match styles 
and go outside the box, the more personality you add to your home. Mixing colors and textures together
is what Mid-Century Modern does best. These pieces are so easy to style. I sure had a blast browsing 
through their huge collection and picking some of my favorites. 

This room turned out to be a Gentlemen's Cave with a rustic mid century touch!!! 
Mix and Match FOR SURE!!!!!! If only I could have this gorgeous room in my house for real!!!!
