Color Color Color

For how much I love color...I tend to stay pretty neutral...whites, greens, browns, grays, navy. I thought I would do a color post. I 've been wanting to do a little more color in my house, so I'm trying to inspire myself.

Love the color combo...not too keen on the bust painted like the band KISS...I think that's the band.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this wall color!!!!
Fun kid room colors.
Fun open back shelves with the color behind.
This picture and the one above both have their books color organized...which makes for a very pleasing view.
I LOVE yellows.
Very fun and a bit funky.
Again...great wall color...especially with the purple couches and chairs!!!
Great color combo.
Isn't this SO great?!
Pretty.
It all flows so well.
I think my fave.

The little bugger is growing up.

Oliver is 10 months today...and I'm starting to sound like a broken record...but I can hardly believe it.

(The following pictures are after Oliver ate lunch...hence the no clothes, and Will after he went to the bathroom...hence the no pants.)

He is a fun little guy. More serious than Will was at this age, and more energetic. He is a mini Jarod so far and would climb up the walls if he had frog feet.
He still spits up around the clock...Will did until he was walking. People say they spit up until they crawl...well our genes have created the worst puking monsters around.
He also smacks everything. People always want to hold him, until he starts smacking their head, grabbing their nose, puking down their shirt, climbing up their head, or some other annoyance. haha. See his hand in the picture smacking the couch?
Here is what he looks like half the day. Crawling around with these foam golf balls in his mouth. He is a fun, crazy, wild baby that has brought so much joy. Love you Mr. Oliver.

GOOP

Gweneth Paltrow, known for her acting, a mother of two and loves to cook...plus she's probably some activist...like every famous person. Well, I'm here to talk about her website/blog called GOOP.
She loves to cook, (here is her new cookbook), and she has a fun little website with fun recipes and travel ideas for restaurants, places to visit and shopping. She is pretty liberal, so there are probably some views that far differ from mine. However, her cooking section is very fun.
The recipes don't look very hard and some look oh-so-yummy.
If you want some fun recipes and travel ideas...go check it out...www.goop.com

Smaller Bathroms

So, here's a post for Tami and Kait.

They requested small bathrooms. So here are some smaller bathrooms for inspiration!

I LOVE this mirror. So fun and practical for a small bathroom.

Tam, I gotta say, when I saw this bathroom, it made me think of you. So pretty. I love the shower curtain, the basket of towels hanging from the CEILING! Not to mention the chandelier and mirrors.
Again, two mirrors over one sink...so practical and very cute.
Also, it's fun to do a pattered or dark wall in a small space.
Great color and sconces!
Ok...another cutie. Isn't it so fun? Great use of space with the little shelf under the mirror. A curved shower curtain can make your small shower feel a bit bigger. Also, love how the mirror goes almost to the ceiling.
Great walls, sconces, and vanity.
I know...this bathroom isn't tiny...because they can still fit a chair in there, but it's so cute and it's smaller than some?
Great use of space.
Another resourceful use of space and fun walls.
Whites!
Awesome lighting!
Look at that use of space! and the mirror and lights!
I think I posted this before, but it's a small bathroom that's so well done.
Hope you enjoyed!

Nurseries


I came across this pretty nursery the other day and thought it was SO amazing. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the stork picture above the fireplace! The whole room is just beautiful.
There is a lot going on, but it's just so charming...don't you agree?

Another thing I came across is the new Restoration Hardware showrooms for nurseries and kids' rooms. They are quite the rooms. I think just the one mirror cost more than Oliver's whole baby room combined. Haha. Even though most of us would never decorate baby or kids' rooms this nice, it's still fun to look at.
I do love the tall ceilings, but feel like I wouldn't like leaving my baby here all alone.
Love the button-back wall.
Quite the boys room.
I think those propellers must have come off a real plane, they are so big.
This room just looks like a lot of things could fall on your child
while she slept or was working at her desk.
This is for the baby that gets lonely.
