For those of you with kiddos, you’ve probably already discovered one of my favorite sites, The Land of Nod. But even if you don’t have kids, you should definitely check them out. Their pieces are amazing… playful enough for kids, but chic enough for us grown-ups.

Here are 5 finds that I’m obsessed with right now.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was pretty low-key which means I had a bit of time to catch up on some reading… and by reading I mean perusing catalogs and magazines. Of course that can be a dangerous activity because it just makes me want to buy stuff… and on that note I just couldn’t resist sharing 5 great finds that I’m dying to have from West Elm.

Just gorgeous, right!

Notice how everything has a hint (or more) of gold. I just can’t get enough. Any color that you can’t get enough of right now? Leave a comment and let me know. Perhaps it will inspire a new color board.

Happy Saturday everyone! Today’s post is in response to a question from one of my readers. She just bought this BEAUTIFUL sofa…

Gorgeous, right?!?

So now she’s looking for a rug to complement it. I happen to know that she has a toddler, so I decided to go with options that have a darker base color (spill, what spill?). I also wanted to make sure to not pick anything that was crazy expensive (well, maybe just one). I’m giving her a few different options depending on the style and feel she’s envisioning for her space.

So… here are 4 picks from one of my secret go to sites for rugs

Fingers crossed she likes one of them.

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?

In honor of Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, I thought I’d go on a hunt for chic mexican-inspired decor. Of course, the key to keeping things stylish is to step beyond the literal (no mexican wrestling masks please). The non-literal version of Mexican decor includes everything from ancient Aztec art, to traditional Spanish designs, to modern southwestern style. Vibrant colors, curved wrought iron and clay pottery are just a few design elements that come to mind.

Here are a few picks that work for a Cinco de Mayo fiesta space or an every day contemporary-eclectic room.

Planter – La Fuente Imports

Floor/Bath Mat – Anthropologie

Candle Wall Sconce – Hobby Lobby

Lamp – Zinc Door

Aztec Plaque – Overstock

Embroidered Pillow – Cost Plus World Market

Any mexican-inspired pieces you’re thinking of incorporating into your space? You can count me in for the Anthropologie mat and the Aztec plaque!
