Draped

Happy Friday!  I have been swamped this week unpacking all of our little things.  Although it's certainly fun, I also find myself asking quite often things like:  "Why on earth do I have so many candles???" and "Why do I need so many vases?!"...ugh.  I know I'll be glad I have all of these beauties when I am done but it IS getting a bit tedious!  It also means it's keeping me away from the wonderful blogs out there that I love to visit for inspiration as well as doing posts as regularly as I'd like.  Thanks for sticking with me, continuing to read, and for leaving comments.  I am reading them and appreciate them.  I will be back soon to the normal "blogger me", I promise. :)

Anyway, drapes are one of the things on my mind for the new house so I thought I'd share a few beautiful examples with you all today.  We are lucky to have many windows and doors in the house, but that means a lot of exposure to our new neighbors!  So, having beautiful drapes is in order and I must say I'm looking forward to it.  :)  Here are a few great ideas:

Is there anything prettier than a shimmery silk draped pooled along the floor?

If only I lived in Santa Barbara...

So sweet for a girl's room!

A clever solution for covering the edges...

Drapes made out of ribbons...another sweet idea.

 

What do your "dream drapes" look like?

All Set For Spring!

Phew!  The big parts of the move are behind us and this week will be spent enjoying the fun parts of moving in...decorating accents and finding good spots for everything - basically, nesting!  I love that we are moving in just as Spring is coming - the yard will look more and more beautiful, and everything is starting fresh right along with us in our new home. 

Here are a few of my favorite (new-to-me) images that are inspiring for Spring.  I hope Spring has sprung where you are.  Enjoy!

How sweet would this be to do for all my new neighbors?


How cute are these?  Thimble-shaped containers!

Wishing you lots of fresh, bright beginnings this Spring too!

Easter Sweets

I can't believe Easter is just a week away.  Although a TON has happened this year, winter just kind of went by in the blink of an eye, since we have been so unplugged from reality.  It's been a wonderful ride, but now I'm ready for some normalcy and some of Spring's simple pleasures.  The Easter bunny will be stopping by our new house and I think I'm more excited than the kids... :) 

So here you go - for those of you that celebrate, here are a few of my favorite Easter inspirations of late.  Hope you like them! 



Gorgeous.

Last but not least, a little cocktail for the Easter Bunny...:)
