decorating my space.

Living alone certainly has it's perks - first and foremost, getting to decorate however you want. I have a very bohemian style, and it's been fun finding interesting pieces and seeing how they all fit together in my 'new' space.

I am so lucky, because every Saturday the alley behind my complex transforms into a place where artists, thrifters, and antique buyers come together. Another bonus, I have two amazing friends who own galleries next door, so I am always searching over their art and finding great pieces. I love living in the art district :)

Two lovlies who found a home with me this weekend - the Ottoman is from Micheal Sparks Design and the small table is from my good friend Bart's Studio.

So far my bedroom, bathroom and living room are complete (pictures to come)! Next on my wishlist, is a giant tee-pee for my room downstairs... a dreamy getaway filled with pillows, candles, star lights, and good books. Here are some on my wishlist:

So my very good friend Dan has one heck of a talented mama! Check out this painting she did of my husband, Sean:

I am more than a little impressed! I wish I could paint like that..... or at all. Oh and guess what, her and her husband are starting a winery.... yeah... they're cool!

P.S. - Teresa...... our anniversary is coming up in August -- hint hint ;)

A Delightful Weekend.

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

It's Friday. Finally. I survived my first week back to work in nearly an entire month.

It's hard to stay focused today, knowing that tomorrow and the next day will be filled with lots of sunshine and plenty of warmth.

Sean is buying me flip flops today.

This weekend is going to be so relaxing. I can feel it. Tonight will probably be spent somewhere on a patio sipping on an iced beer and laughing with friends until it hurts. Wearing a tank top. And those flip-flops.

Tomorrow I am going to Arts in the Park, and everybody knows how much I swoon and melt over community events. And art. Good art.

Sunday... no plans. Which is nice. I imagine that I will sleep in with my wonderful hubby and breathe in the last few moments of what is sure to be a delightful weekend.

What are you going to do this weekend? Whatever it is, I hope you smile while doing it!

A little taste of past years Arts in the Park. Delish.
