coveted

I had the best time doing a little online shopping at West Elm this afternoon..they have some fabulous prices on really great pieces! I found small accessories that I just loved, that will fit so well into my decor. So many of their pieces have such a wonderful organic feel. Small bath trays from $6, gorgeous throws on sale, hand towels and this pendant that I have been coveting for so long, I finally figured out where to put it in my house, and it's not the kitchen!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! x

warm tones

It's that time of year that our thoughts start to turn to warm and cozy. Mine started when it was still 30 degrees outside. But now that we are actually having forecasts of -2 degrees tonight, you can believe I am changing my way of thinking, dressing + decorating.

lighting. west elm

I am a sucker for great lighting. I remember a conversation with my husband when we were building our house. The so called lighting packages they offer, are truly umm..yuck. He says 'but they're just lights, nobody notices them'. I beg to differ. We are about halfway through the house replacing the lighting, some was done through the builder, like my wonderful front entry hurricane, but others I am slowly finding and changing. He notices the difference now. Thank goodness :) Here are a few I enjoy.
