Eggs-Cellent!

Could this bunny be any cuter? I mean, seriously. I want to snuggle it and squish it's precious little cheeks. Ugh, killing me with cuteness.

I used to love Easter as a kid. The best part was getting a new dress, gloves, shoes and sometimes a hat. I still remember my favorite dress. It was a red, white and blue sailor dress and it was amazing. I wonder if I could still pull look off. Sorry for the tangent, now back to the point of this post...

Scrambling for some non-traditional egg decorating ideas (oh yes I did)? Well, way to put it off until the last minute, slacker. Lucky for you I found some great ideas and am happy to share them. For more ideas and images, check out my Pinterest page. Happy Easter!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: Lucky 13

FAVORITE, FAVORITE, BO-BAVORITE...

Holy Hell! These mirrored subway tiles are fantastic. So glamorous.

This DIY pom pom rug looks so soft for the feet. I need it!

These brass animals are almost as cute as the real thing. Almost.

Patina metal console table? Yes please.

Such a happy fridge.

This shower curtain is PERFECT for Spring.

Chinese takeout garbage can. Pretty darn clever.

There is no law that dishes have to be white. I promise. 

These oversized scissors come in handy for that extra large craft project.

To finish this post off in style, a little Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta
during the Grease years. Sigh...

New Love-ARTERIORS Home

Have you heard about ARTERIORS Home? If not, you should. They are one of my newest loves. They offer some seriously cool light fixtures, lamps, furniture and accessories. This is the company to buy from when you want a piece in your room that isn't the same as three of your neighbors.You will pay a little more, but their pieces are meant to last throughout the years. And hello! They are so unique. Whatever you get will definitely create a buzz when guests come over. Unfortunately, ARTERIORS is wholesale only but you can still look online to see their product line. If you find something you like, you can contact a registered designer(ahem) to get pricing and place an order for you.

Open Shelving for Your Kitchen

In my book, open shelving is the cat's meow. It's light, airy and can be accomplished in so many different ways. If you're going to have nice dishes and serveware, shouldn't you be able to show them off? I think so.

From what I can tell, there are only two negatives to open shelving. One, if you're not super organized ALL of the time, it can look cluttered. Two, having cupboard doors keeps the dust off of your dishes. When you don't have the doors, you don't have the dust blocker. If you can handle those two downfalls, this may be just the shelving option for you.
