These past few weeks have been non-stop for me and I’d love nothing better than to jump into one of these beauties and take a long, relaxing, great smelling bath, while listening to wonderfully soothing music…
…preferably followed by an amazing deep tissue massage… Ahhh…a girl can dream.
Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
I’m one who loves lists (and have a feeling many of you do as well!) so today I want to share with you my round-up of 10 stylish list pads. Whether it’s a to-do list, shopping list, or simply a list of things to remember, it’s nice to organize and mind dump everything onto paper, especially onto pretty paper like this:
1-the long list, 2- to-do adhesive notes, 3- ‘get it done’ notepad, 4- orange zig zag photo pad, 5- striped notepad, 6- oxford pad, 7- peacock pad, 8- happy notes, 9- recycled paper market list , 10-market shopping pad
Tell me, do you love lists? Do you have a favorite list pad for jotting them all down?
Love the idea of displaying (and protecting!) an ultra special pair of shoes as a work of art under a glass bell jar..
Do you have a treasured pair you’d consider treating like this?
Styled right, a matching cluster of classic pencils can look quite chic on a desk:
Thinking of doing something like that or like this in my new office 
Love what Callie did in her kitchen. Not only did she beautifully arrange and organize her dish, glass, and serve-ware, she went an extra step by adhering black and gold mums paper from Paper Mojo to the inside of her glass cabinets:
It’s all in the details! By the way, the rest of her home is gorgeous. See it here.
p.s. In case you missed it – along similar lines, another beautifully organized cabinet.
We’re officially moved into the new place! You don’t realize how much stuff you truly own ’til you move! The place is filled with boxes and boxes ready to be unpacked. I personally don’t enjoy the process of packing, loading the truck, unloading the truck, etc., but I do enjoy the process of unpacking. Probably because it involves organizing!
Now comes the process of getting settled in and making it feel like home. I can’t wait to transform the place. This is what the living room/dining area looked like on the day we got the keys:
It’s a nice open layout. From the front door (which you can see on the right in the second photo) you step into a tiny entry and then into the living room. The dining area is adjacent and a sliding door leads out to the patio. Both the living/dining areas are visible from the kitchen. The floors are in good condition and there’s a working fireplace (yay!).
The color of the walls wasn’t bad, however it didn’t really work with our existing furniture and since it’s a relatively small space, I wanted it to feel as spacious and bright as possible, so decided to paint the walls a lighter color. I went with Olympic no VOC paint in Horseradish which is a lovely creamy beige. I didn’t get a chance to take a good photo of the freshly painted room, but as soon as I get some of the boxes out of the way, I’ll be sure to take one and share with you.
Off to catch up on some work then get a start on the unpacking. I’ll share some more updates later in the week!
So much to love about this walk-in closet: the custom built-in wardrobes painted a lovely grey, the floor to ceiling window that allows for abundant natural light, the glamorous chandelier, drapery and seating…
…as well as the little details like the beautiful crystal knobs and built-in natural oak drawer dividers.
Adding this one to my dream home inspiration file!
When it comes to organizing bracelets, a good option for those who like to have things put away out-of-sight, is to dedicate a portion of a drawer to them and use organizers to keep things separated and neat. Clear ones always look nice. Remember to measure before buying!
For those who are more visually oriented (right-brained!) and prefer to have things out, trays are great for corralling pieces and keeping surfaces from looking like a cluttered mess.
Another option is to hang them on a jewelry tree, which makes for a lovely display.
Last but not least, a fun idea is to keep them in pretty vintage cups. Look for ones with a wide enough mouth to fit the width of your pieces.
Hope this post inspired some ideas for your own home!
This week my husband and I are moving into our new place! Today and tomorrow I’ll be finishing up packing, Wednesday we’ll start taking things over to the place and painting the living room and office, and Saturday we’ll move the big stuff (furniture, etc). Hoping I don’t let myself get too off balance by not remembering to drink enough water, eat right, breathe, etc., as I tend to do when it’s a particularly hectic week. To get off on the right foot I drank alkaline water first this morning and I have my veggies washed for a green juice later today so that I have the energy to get everything done! I’ll share pictures of the place later in the week and tweet updates -I hope you’ll follow along!
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
