Wine Personalized

This idea is fantastic!!  This is perfect for a smaller wedding, dinner party or a shower.  Replace a place card with a wine glass and then your guests can take it home as a party favor.  I found these over on Every Last Detail and thought it was a darling idea.  How to:  find inexpensive wine glasses, put on some chalkboard paint and add your guests names!   Happy Friday! 

Vince Sequin

This Vince Sequin Sweater that I spotted over on Coco + Kelley is to die for.  I'm so in love and think it would  be just perfect for New Years and the holidays...Dear Santa, please bring me this sequin sweater for Christmas.  Happy Wednesday!!

Pashima Style

You know all the years I've been wearing pashminas I never found the perfect way to tie the darn thing until today...my friend Jill who has a fabulous blog:  Good Life For Less, ties her pashmina just perfect.  I love this! She wrapped it around her neck once and then brings it together at the bottom in a soft knot.  Perfection! Way to go Jill!

DIY: Custom Roller Shades

Most people leave dressing up their windows with window treatments for the very last project because they are just so expensive.  I found a fun solution. You can make these classy monogram shades for under $50.  Add a graphic stenciled design and you have a custom window treatment that’s low on cost and high on style.  I found this fun project on Chapman Interior & Southern Living.  Enjoy!

Shade: 37¼" x 66" light-filtering vinyl shade in white by Levolor (levolor.com), available through Lowe’s; lowes.com.
Brackets: Inside-Mount Shade Brackets, also by Levolor, also available through Lowe’s.
Stencils:  Sunny's Paint Stencils you can purchase here.

Rhode Island Wedding

Yes, I will have stripes at my wedding and stripes in my home, bedroom, and kitchen.  My condo had the most darling stripped bubble window treatment that I can't wait for the minute it sells I'm going to grab it and hang it in my bedroom.  Everything about this New England wedding from Style Me Pretty I adore and LOVE... okay, so I guess it could have something to do with the stripes everywhere and the fabulous details.  Look how the bride tied everything together and matched her wedding colors with the venue. SO AMAZING!  Everything about this makes me happy..I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Sweet Pea Hats

I found these adorable Sweet Pea Hats over on one of my favorite blogs, How Sweet It Is.  They are so cute and would definitely be a head turner. Perfect for Halloween & would also make for a great baby shower gift.  Happy Tuesday!

It's All In The Details

I actually used this idea when I was decorating my condo, it's inexpensive and darling.  I purchased 4 old doors and antiqued washed them and placed them behind my bed.  This idea below is so cute!  It looks like they used old barn doors.  Think about how much money you would save on a bed frame.  Happy Budget Decorating!

Dino For Senate

I had the privilege of being on the Host/Planning Committee for a Young Professionals Fund Raiser for Dino Rossi this past Friday.  We worked hard to find the best venue, music, appetizers, drinks and entertainment for our guests.  It was a great evening and the turnout was more then we expected.  We raised about 5k more then we thought we would.  Here are a few pictures from the evening.  And yes the Ronald Reagan cutout is mine and is now safely home with me where it will remain ;).

You're all in for a huge treat.  Emily Jones is so talented and has such class with all her fun pieces.  Her home is adorable and everything that I love with details that you would just droll over.  Anywhere from the bead board in her kitchen that is all the way to the ceiling, to one of the walls in her home is a chalkboard.  Honey Do LOVES Emily and it's an extra treat that she's related to Amber.  She had a house party this past summer at Amber's Aunt and Uncles gorgeous home.  She is so talented and has the most fabulous pieces!  She sells anything from personalized stationary to ruffled pillows.  This is her front door adorned with a book page wreath...here is the tutorial of how to on her blog, Jones Design.  If you would rather not attempt to make a wreath, she sells them along with so many other classy pieces.  What a perfect gift for the holidays!  I'll be posting more on Emily...
