Prints Charming

Some of you have asked about the typography prints in the last post.

This one is from apple blossom prints on etsy and is personalized with our names and wedding date.

The owner custom matched the colors for me and was awesome to work with!!

 the other one if from bang bang your thread on etsy

Kris just ordered this one from Jones Design Company. Love it.

or how about these...

Thinking about these for the kids bathroom..

They are from Belly Babies on Etsy. Do you think they would help?:)

Twin Mirrors

We love the look of mirrors flanking the bed...

images from Traditional Home, Ashley Goforth Designs,  Veranda, Decorpad, House Beautiful, VT Interiors.

SO... I saw these two matching mirrors at Homegoods and they were the right size

but a really yucky goldy brown color (but affordable...)

so I spray painted them

and they turned out like this

Some days..

Some days are good hair days...

and some days are not...

today is one of those days.
There is something that helps though...

 I ran out of the shampoo (maybe this is why I look like chaka..)
It's Kerastase Shampoo and Conditioner and although it costs a pretty penny
(like $50 for the conditioner)
 it is worth every cent, lasts FOREVER
 and although my hair may not always look so great (my fault )
these products keep the chaka days to a minimum:)

Hoping you are having a good hair day,
 (and you watched Land of the Lost:)

A Beachy Bag

Kris and I were skyping the other day,showing each other our finds
(aka what we bought at Homegoods/Marshalls)
She found this adorable chevron make up bag (hers was blue...)

it is by Donna Dixon, do you remember her from Bosom Buddies? Or are we dating ourselves:)

  Well I knew I had to find my own and have also been in the market for a new beach/pool bag, as my old one has who-knows-what stuck to the inside bottom of it.  Alas, a new DONNA DIXON chevron print canvas tote was calling my name...and boy is it roomy.
Only 29.99 at my Marshalls/Homegoods mega store (aka Heaven)

Here are a few more cute ones, while we're at it.

And, of course, the classic J. Crew Market tote.
