An Inspiring Blog

“Ultimately your home is so much more than just a decor style, it’s a life style,” as said by The Paris Apartment (a new favorite blog.)

Her quote comes from a clip of her book. I find inspiration not only in her quote and the rest of the clip of the book, but also in each and every post and photo she posts.  Check out these gorgeous rooms and then check out her blog here:  www.parisapartment.wordpress.com

Apartment Therapy Package

Yesterday I received my Apartment Therapy package in the mail!  This was my prize for being picked as one of the “My Great Outdoors” winners.  This means they featured our backyard on their site.  This also means that I got a T-shirt, their book, and a sticker for my car! Check it out:

Awesome, huh?  Apartment Therapy really is an awesome site and an awesome group of people.  Check them out here:  www.apartmenttherapy.com.  You can see our yard there, too, under big back yard! 

Thanks AT!!

Taco Night Celebration

We decided to celebrate last night!  We are officially setting up shop with our projects and vintage collections.  (Actually, for those of you who like Mid Century, there might be a really sweet hutch up for grabs after this weekend;)

So, I made Tony’s favorite, Tacos!  It was so pretty with all of the colorful bowls and plates, so I thought I would share.  We were so excited about being noted on Apartment Therapy.  What a great way to start our shop!  Check out our pretty little party.

The tacos and margaritas were very tasty… just try to imagine you were there, and have a toast with us!  And, thank you everybody for stopping in and giving your advice and comments- which we LOVE!  And check back, because we are off and running with our shop and our new projects!
