The Nesting Table

>> Wednesday, February 25, 2009

I've noticed that I'm drawn to the nesting table. It could be their functionality or because I can move them from one room to the other to change up the room decor. The reasons are limitless and because of my newfound attraction to the nesting table I've got my eye on a few styles that I would like to have in my home.

These Klubbo nesting tables are right up my alley in cost and style.

There are a few others that I also couldn't resist adding to my growing home decor wishlist.

After a few weeks of cold weather and snow, I'm so ready for Spring. When I saw this lovely floral printed Chloe platter and plate.I started looking for lovely Spring items that could fill my home and make me feel like Spring was here while the outside is still under a chill.

My drab and brown surroundings has brought me down and these Morning Mugs are just what I need to get through the next few months until Winter gives way to Spring.

Fall in Love with Patterns

>> Wednesday, February 4, 2009

I'll admit there was a time in my life when I didn't like patterns {gasp}. Now, I love them and can't get enough of them. While I'm not at the point of mixing various patterns together in my home {baby steps} I have allowed pattern into my closet and love it. When it comes to shoes, I've been on the slower side adding a pair here or there but now, I can't see why when I've been going so slow when lovely little bitties like these could be in my closet?

Patterned Classic Ballet Flat from J.Crew





While I've been a bit slower in adding shoes with patterns to my closet I'm loving these patterns for home like... This floral print slipper chair from Target.




or this Bird & Floral Print Upholstered Chair



There's been a lot of buzz about these chairs in the blogosphere, while these are buzz worthy, the patterns in either chair are lovely and would liven up any room. Now if the chair is too much for your pattern taste, think about adding a few patterned pillows like this, this or this.







Even a little bit of pattern can go a long way.
