Dove Decor

I absolutely love this little guy!  The white ceramic finish is so minimalistic, but the little gold tip on the tail adds the perfect little bit of glam.  Oh Sugar (as my grandma would say), I think I’m going to have to buy it…

Baby Booties

Okay, so we know that I have a thing with triangles, and right now I definitely have baby on the brain (due in 6 days!).  Considering all this, you can see why I’m obsessed with these baby booties.  They are absolutely adorable… and reversible to boot (ha ha, get it).

DAINTY JEWELS

There’s something so chic about dainty jewelry. Case in point, this gorgeous little gold and emerald ring.  Definitely on my wish list (well, once the swelling in my hands goes down… ah the joys of pregnancy!).

Table setting

I came across this gorgeous table setting, and it was love at first sight.  Between the gold flatware and the peach tones in the dishes, I was mesmerized. (See more about my gold and peach obsessions here, here and here).  Such a great place setting for a summer brunch.

It’s always fun to go for a bold design in a room, but is there such a thing as going too bold?  What about painting the walls of your living room black???

I’ve come across the living room below quite a few times of late in my scouring of Pinterest (you can find me here).

I’m curious to know what you think…

OMG! So, I am completely, totally, 100% obsessed with peach right now!  Who knew the color that was the epitome of the 80’s would make such a come-back?  I mean, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised… you know what the say.. all trends (fashion, interior, or otherwise) are cyclical.

Just looking at my little moodboard makes me smile.  Hopefully it makes you smile too!

Are there any peach items that you’re obsessing over right now?

Origami shade

Nothing short of unique, this pendant shade is quirky, cool and modern. This would look great in a kids room or even a funky kitchen.

Sometimes you just need a completely useless decorative object to accessorize your desk or tabletop.  If ever you find yourself in this predicament, here’s your solution.
