Wedding Ideas

I love these flowers and how they pull so strongly from nature. As if someone was just walking in the woods and gathered a bundle of natural wildflowers to be their bouquet. The succulents in the centerpiece is always stunning keeping the feel of the wedding very earthly.


The dress in this photo is very vintage. Like something I would see in a old wedding photograph from 100 years ago. I love the short glove and the almost rick rack embellishments on the dress.


The idea of recycling old glass bottles into vases for your wedding is brillant and also good for the environment. Give a normal house hold item and second like that will also make a statement.

Happy Wensday!

Today I have brought you some more wonderful wedding idea. I think the theme today is the simpiler the better. You don't need a elaberate ballroom to have a stunning eyecatching wedding that your guests will remember for the rest of their lives.

                              
                  

      I love the rasberry colore in these flowers. But my favorite thing of this collage is the      family room furnature that is set up in the middle of the forest. It give a homey comforting feel to your wedding while still keeping it organic and natural.

Wedding Monday

                                          Today is the first day of weddings week
                                          
                                                                                              

Most of the images I have selected are very organic and simple to do by yourself. Like this table setting. A day at a fleemarket you could easily find these rustic wooden containers.

I Dream of Kitchens

Yesterday my husband and I made the dangerous track down the 405 freeway (or parking lot) to the local BestBuy. After dealing with the always exciting customer service Kevin and I felt we had some time to burn so we wandered around the last of the big appliance sale. It got me wondering about how I would design my dream kitchen. I think it would look a little something like this.



Kevin knows to step away when I get into decorating mode. I turn into full fledged  designilla. His man cave inspirations just won't do.

There is a antique mall in old town Orange that is chalkfull of unique and beautiful interior design ideas.
Unlike most antique stores which mostly feature old overpriced items that smell like your grandma
(nooffencegrams) Country Roads Antiques fills each square inch of their store with a new delicious meal for your eyes. Its the first stop I take when I reach the circle and continuously on my mind even well after I leave.

Happy Weekend





That hidden loft is a dream. Would be wonderful in a guest house. But my favorite
item is that rustic ladder in the bathroom. I must admit I am a Nate junky and on a
previous show he had discussed turning in old ladders into these awesome towel
racks for your bathroom. Ingenious! I have not yet found the perfect ladder to try this
but it is definatly on my to do list.

Antiquing


A Few of My Favorite Things

I must admit that I am a antiquer. There is just something about rummaging through
such heavly loved objects that brings me joy. I must admit it was my mothers fault
since I was young she always made a point to me drag along to every local antique
store. After awhile I was the one doing the dragging. :)
