BLOG SALE: Lilly Pulitzer Zebra Rug by Garnet Hill
I purchased this adorable wool Lilly Pulitzer Zebra Rug by Garnet Hill from another blogger, A' La Mode Maven, a few years ago for my home office, and have since moved and it has been tucked away in storage. I have pulled it back out to offer for sale, since it no longer has a place to call home with my current decor.

Baby #03 and Nursery Ideas
So, the surprise is out...we are having another baby! This was not something we had planned, one of God's funny little ideas ;) And though we are still a bit stunned, we are getting very excited about having a little one around the house again. When this baby is born, my other two will have just turned 12 and 10, talk about starting over!
One of the first things I began to stress over was where we would put a nursery. When we moved to our land a year and a had ago, we downsized from 5 bedrooms to 3, so our only option is a small, odd shaped office space that my son and husband have actually utilized as their "game room" for playing video games, which does not have a closet. By the time this little one is old enough for to need full size room, one my older two will be off to college, freeing up a room, crazy right?
I'm working up a nursery design board, utilizing pieces I already have, with the exception of a crib, that I will get finished up and posted later this week.
In the meanwhile, here are some ingenious ideas I found online, for making the most out of the little room I've got to work with.
Love this open closet concept
Industrial Storage baskets are a definite, I'll be scouting Homegoods for some similar to these
This was a definite winner, and a project I already have underway in my garage with an old china lets be real, we used it as a liquor cabinet. I love the open armoir look, with useful shelving below.
Both of the ideas are great for storing all those little miscellaneous things that babies need.

Some Exciting News is coming....
So it's been a bit, well maybe a year and a half constitutes awhile...but I'm coming back to the blog!
Lots has happened...we moved to some acreage, I changed jobs after 12 years, we built a barn, and we acquired some horses, a donkey, chicken and ducks...yeah, we're regular country folk now, and I LOVE IT! It has been amazing getting back to a hobby I grew up doing, and being able to share it with my daughter.
My kids are now almost both in double digits, and both so fiercely independent, it's just been a really amazing year, with a huge emphasis on simplifying our lives, and GEEZ what a difference that makes...goodbye stress, and hello happiness!!

Boots with Flare
Don't you love the look of leather mixed with different textures and textiles! I am totally crushing on these Union Jack boots from Hunter, and I just found Miss B a pair very similar to the Tory Burch's by Tommy Hilfiger for Kids. Now if it could just drop about another ten degrees so we can start rocking boots, scarves and skinnies everyday...

Vanilla Creme Chapstick with Hydration Lock
Love this stuff! I put this stuff on my lips last night and they feel sooo soft. Also got a $1 off coupon with it in the birchbox t o get another ;)
Miss Jessie's Original Creme de la Creme Conditioner
I tried this last night; smells really nice, and my hair is soft enough, I wasn't really overly wowed with it though
Joie Folle de Joie Perfum
Ehh, it's okay, I actually really enjoy getting all these little perfumes, it lets me change things up without a big investment, I've got a whole little box of the. The only perfume I ever buy is Dolce Gabana, "Light Blue" ♥♥♥ it, I get like 5 bottles at Christmas from all my different family, and they always mess with me to try something else out, but I can't it's my "signature-Scent" lol ;)
Pop Beauty Aqua Lacquer
I got the darker red color "splashing scarlet" and I like that its actually a brush on the end, not squeeze tip. Give just a hint of color, definite thumbs up
okay, next to the chapstick, this was my fave. The cleanser has a really great herby smell, which I loved, and it made my face really tingly and fresh feeling, definitely a good morning wash!
There was also a fun ziploc baggy with a white geometric lattice pattern on it that was pretty cute, didn't catch a snap though.

Perfect LBD
Do you every once in while flip through a new catalog and come to a halt because there's an instant connection with an outfit, shoes, piece of decor, etc? That was totally the case with this Little Black Dress. I got a new Nordstrom's catalog in the mail yesterday, and this dress was about three pages in. We were still driving down the long drive to our house, and I already had it over in the hub's face saying "look, isn't this sooo pretty, wouldn't this be perfect for a holiday party??" He was less enthusiastic, basically mmhmm hun, whatever you want ;) Well once we get our other house sold, this pretty little piece will be making it way to my closet, Christmas parties, here I come!

Miss B's New Room...In Progress
Not the best pics, but all I managed to snap on the Iphone before calling it a night. I got B's dressage photos up, waiting for our goodies from the Pottery Barn Emily & Meritt collection to get in (design board here & collection here).
Recycled frames from the old house, from Michael's I believe. Picked these because they've got a slight gold hue around the edges and center. Ignore the Buccaneers football chair below, B borrowed from her brothers room, because the matching chair is still at the other house.
And a quick peek of the living room....our furniture actually fits this house better than the last I think :) Allot of that is because we went with a brown undertone paint color in lieu of grey. Checkout our awesome rug I mentioned here from PB, loving this thing!!
