Tuesday's Temptation: Gold Leaf Mirror

So I am still sick...ugh

At least I'm not working right now.

I am laying on the couch online shopping and came across this awesome mirror.  




Guess where it is from....just guess.  



What??!! 

I know, I thought the same thing and its only $210

Only thing is the picture quality online isn't that great so I would want to see it in person.

For the home

Last night after the 8 hundredth time of stubbing my toe on the trash can in our tiny kitchen I started dreaming of the perfect kitchen.  You know, one that I can't touch both walls at the same time and has a normal fridge.  I'm not asking to much here.  But, seriously I can't wait to be able to decorate a house and put our personal touches in it.   If I had my dream kitchen this is how I would decorate it.  I would make sure that Matt and I can both be in it at the same time too.  I'm accident prone and at times I need someone to make sure I take the cardboard out from under the pizza before I cook it.  I'm a real Betty Crocker over here.



 I love rustic wood tables, I would have one side with a bench and lucite chairs on the other.  On the chairs, I would throw a few pillows to add some color.  I would accessorize the table with some white candle holders and have a few small mint julep vases of Peonies (my favorite).  As for dishes, I would bring in more color with these funky DVF plates.  I couldn't pass up this cute whale for your butter and the navy DVF tray for entertaining.  Finally, I would add some personal touches with white picture frames filled with my smiling face...and I guess Matt's too.

Faves of the Week

You know when you have a ton of stuff to do and you decide you're not going to do any of it.  That's me right now and last night.  My procrastination of choice is online shopping and going overboard in photoshop- see below.  I found few favorites this week.  Check em out!

Last year...

We were moving into our flat.  That day was filled with laughs, tears and few %*@# what did we do?!  To think this is what our place looked like last year.  I am still saying %*@# how did this all fit in here?!  Yes I like to curse, especially in stressful situations ;)

Sorry for the blurry iphone pics.  I wasn't about to try and find my camera during this. 

a little ray of hope shining through..ha

Just half my wardrobe- the movers were unpacking and laughing in the bedroom.  
I was crying

Looks like the kitchen is coming along pretty good.  So we thought!  Later that night we found out the dishes were bigger than the cabinets.  Try and guess which cabinet is the fridge.

Matt putting away his clothes.  Nice calves dude!  

We can admire my shoes instead of watching tv...

Another shot of my clothes.  


To see what it looks like now and read what we learned click here.  We did end up giving a lot of things away that day.  I would say most of this furniture will be staying here when we move back to the States because I am not sure they will be able to get it out.

Shut the....


I love the look of a painted door.  It can take your room from blah to Bold! 
What do you think?


Happy Monday!

Mirror Mirror on the wall...

which one should I buy?  I have been looking for a white mirror for an office, I don't have yet,  to put behind my desk.  I am in love with white!  White can make places look bigger and brighter especially in London since places are much smaller and well Mr. Sun doesn't come out that often.  I love all 3 but price wise I think West Elms is the best buy.  




What do you think?

Carve or Decorated Pumpkins

 This year I decided to paint instead of carve.  Here was my inspiration.






Did you carve or decorate your pumpkins this year? 

Halloween is almost here!!  

Happy Hump Day!
