our bedroom needs help

Happy Weekend People!!!  I am so happy the weekend is here, life is been a bit crazy lately with a new job and a new puppy and this whole winter thing is really getting on my nerves.  I have big plans to work on our bedroom this weekend.  It is in desperate need for some updating and changes.  I plan on recovering the headboard I made and well as updating some of the design.  It would be nice if I had buckets of money to spend on this project but alas I do not, so this chick will be doing it the homemade way.  Here a few bedroom inspiration pics that have my wheels just a turning.

belize...

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday Season.  Even with my complete inability to plan ahead for these types of things I love this time of year.  Everyone seems to be in a happier mood, a la the Christmas
Spirit, and I love it.  I thought I would finally get around to posting some pics from Belize.  I highly recommend visiting, it's a beautiful country and the people are so kind.  Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure.

We stayed at Mata Rocks Resort, it's our second time visiting Ambergris Caye and we love the hotel so much we decided to stay there again.  The staff is wonderful, it's in a great location, and they have a wonderful beach front bar that both locals and people from other hotels frequent.  

I don't normally take pictures of food, but this was the Lobster Burrito from Waraguma, and it was insanely delicious and so affordable.

This is Palapa Bar & Grill, great service and amazing atmosphere.It's definitely worth a visit.

pretty packages

So Christmas is literally right around the corner.  I still can't figure out how I keep letting all of these Holidays sneak up on me.  I have bought a total of one present so I am officially in the running for the Procrastinator of the Year award.  With that said, I think pretty packaging is a huge part of the fun when giving gifts.  Here are a few ideas out on the word wide webs for inspiration.  Once I have the actual gifts to wrap I should be good to go.

i'm still here

Sorry for the complete delay.  The Holiday Season is now officially upon us and year after year it always seems to get busier and busier. I will have some proper posts for you fine folks real soon.  We just got back from a trip to Belize, and cannot wait to share all about our trip.  Until then, here's a little photo to keep you going.  

This was the view from our room, and let me tell you it's a little difficult to adjust back to reality today.  More to come soon!

thanksgiving table

So, Thanksgiving is right around the corner (which is completely insane how quickly it got here this year) and I am looking forward to spending some quality family time, eating way too much food and watching movies. Fingers crossed that I will have enough free time to share a post about a recent Baby Shower I co-hosted for a friend.  Any who, I thought I would share some fall table scapes to get you in the Thanksgiving Day spirit.

So simple but a great message in tune with the Holiday itself.

How cute for the kid's table and would definitely make clean up a bit easier.

Glitter pumpkins...enough said.

So pretty, love the linen cloth, the fresh produce as decor with the warm terracotta and candles.

Monochromatic awesomeness.

feeling brassy

Brass hardware has made a resurgence over the last couple of years, and I must say I like it.  Now, I'm not one to go all out and have every finish brass, but I do like the warmth it brings to a space.  Here's a few inspirational pics for you fine folks.

we're talking curtains...

Hey there folks and happy election day.  Sorry I have been a delinquent blogger lately, just been all kinds of busy learning a new job.  New job and all I can't stop my mind from running about brightly colored curtains. I love how curtains can change a space with little to no effort.  Usually, the worst part about updating your curtains is the cost involved, other than that not much effort is given to get such a huge impact in your space.  What do you think, do you like the brightly colored curtain options?

Love the curtains mixed with the other pops of color in the lamp, chair and flowers.

Another yellow moment, it's so clean and fairly simple but makes such a statement

I am a sucker for turquoise, I just can't fight it and alas another pop of yellow.  Also that light fixture is insane...in a good way.

I mean, shut up.  This room is beautiful and those curtains are amazing.  That chandelier and the green, you know I have been digging green lately.

This room is full of color and pattern but the rug and artwork help to tie it all together and another awesome chandelier
