I love how you saw the "bones" of the house and used that to create a space that is modern but relaxed, homey and with lots of personality! Such a fantastic job.
And I love how much light there is! Light makes such a huge difference in a room. Older houses here are like dark little caves :-(
Sarah's Living Room (Before + After!)
Back when my husband and I bought our house in May of this year, Elsie and Emma asked us if we'd be willing to share a couple of our home rooms on our blog once we finished getting settled! So today we are really excited to show you our finished living room. I mean whatever—nothing is ever real...
Long bubble baths. With candles and a glass of wine and a good book.
Reading as much as you like. Going to bed as early or as late as you like.
And my favorite way? Organizing a get-together with friends, or a pajama party, or a girls night in... so fun!
Guy Time
Since Dean goes to preschool on campus at the university where Marcus teaches, they have the same spring break. I do not get a spring break. (alas) Later this week, my two guys will head off on a boys only adventure FOR A WEEK. They're flying up to Northern Virginia to visit Marcus's parents. ...
Here's my collection: http://www.beso.com/users/ElisaB/collections/37b2e95f-447e-4c83-953e-2cbba4e94f63
I am really craving bold colors for spring!
Giveaway: $250 Shopping Spree from Beso.com!
One of my favorite spring trends? Definitely the relaxed safari vibe--it appeals to the weekend warrior in me. I had a blast creating this shopping board using the Collections feature at Beso.com, and I'm so excited to be partnering on a giveaway with the folks from this mega fashion and decor...
Oh my goodness, I love the vibrant colors! The fabrics in the third shot are my faves!
{new} fabric by rifle...
I love seeing some my favorite designer's and illustrator's work applied to various materials. So, of course, I am loving this new capsule fabric collection by Rifle for Villa Nova. Anna's signature floral is bursting with color and whimsy, and it looks so good upholstered on a chair or ma...
Love it all! Especially the necklace - off to check it out on ASOS!
feeling like a shape shifter...

I am all for anything that makes it easier to share the fabulosity and awesomeness that is Rue!
It's Live! Announcing Rue Issue 10
They just keeping coming at us fast and furious, don't they? I'd barely had time to recover from the last one, and already a brand new issue of Rue is up and out the door. With March just days away, we wanted to capture that feeling of Spring being just over the horizon: clean, clear light, br...
That is soooo awesome! The trench of course, but the whole thing... Gap + Rue? My whole day just got better :-)
Position Filled: The Perfect Trench Coat
I've been on the hunt for the perfect trench for, oh, just about an eternity now. My requirements? It has to put a modern twist on the classic and be ready for puddle jumping at a moment’s notice. So imagine my delight to discover this one from Gap that not only fits the bill but also has a sw...
oh, I love the Glow. Finally a blog showcasing fabulous moms!
happy friday + a beautiful glow...
As a new mom, I feel like a really appreciate every day a bit more than I used to. Time with my baby, time with my husband, and just time to enjoy the simple moments really have more meaning for me more now than ever. If you haven't yet seen The Glow, the site is a gorgeous depiction of ...
I wish - if I still resided stateside I would have attended one of these already, they sound amazing!
Have a great time! We will be expecting a full debrief (pretty please? so I can live vicariously?)
Blogshop In Seattle
Yippee, Blogshop is coming to Seattle tomorrow! If you're unfamiliar, it's a weekend-long Photoshop boot-camp specifically designed for bloggers, held by the enormously creative talents, Bri of Design Love Fest and Angela of Angela + Ithyle. I'm so excited to learn some new fancy skills to...
I think it's great that you were able to switch so easily, and that there were no bad reasons for switching - that way if in the future he is on vacation or something and you have to see the other female Pediatrician there's no awkwardness.
Having recently dumped out pediatrician for less pleasant reasons, I can sympathize with the whole uncertainty about how to handle it!
Tough Call
We switched pediatricians today. Our former doctor was great. She is a very no-nonsense, but friendly, type who was in and out of the room very matter-of-factly. I loved that she talked to me mom-to-mom as well as doctor-to-mom. I never felt rushed by her and I thought she did a good job taki...
these are so fun!! I would loooove to pair them with a simple outfit, like a white button down, dark-wash skinnies and boots.
I think the earrings are my fave.
Gimme Gimme: Elva Fields Jewelry for C. Wonder
There's a new store in town. (If by town you mean New York City, which in this case I do.) It's called C. Wonder, and you probably know all about its preppy, striped, ikat-ed goodness. (If not, Kevin over at Martha Stewart can tell you more.) What I'm especially excited about are the collabora...
Wow! It looks amazing! Off to check it out right now!
Gorgeous New Blog! Introducing Spoon Fork Bacon
There's a new blog on the block, and it's a game changer, you guys. Meet spoon fork bacon, an incredible food and and entertaining destination from photographer Teri Lyn Fisher and stylist Jenny Park. I've had the honor of working with both of these ladies through Rue, and I'm positively saliv...
Gosh, I miss Central Park! The lake, the Mall and the Bethesda fountain were my favorite bits - I never got sick of them :-)
postcard from nyc: row boats at central park
I am a fan of any city with easy access to row boats. Photo by Chelsea Fuss.
I absolutely love the first shot!
For someone who is usually behind the camera, looks like you did pretty great in front of it, too!
Get Em While They're Hot: Feather Love Photography Sessions
I'm a behind-the-camera girl: rolling up my sleeves, taking charge, bossing people around. So when Noa of Feather Love Photography asked me to step in front of the lens to help spread the word about her workshops and shooting opportunities in Europe this September, I was a little nervous. But ...
Gorgeous images! I have never been to Palm Springs, I'd love to visit one time! Man, I miss the West Coast.
But I have to admit that my summer vacations are better here, because I prefer the Mediterranean for swimming - much calmer!
I haven't gone to the pool at all this summer yet, the weather has been so unpredictable. But I am going to Sardinia in 4 weeks - wheee!
Come On In. The Water Is Warm.
I was a mermaid in a past life. I've come to this conclusion after twenty-nine years of pruned fingers, blonde hair turned green by chlorine, and bathing suits practically withered away from overuse. I seek out water like a cat does a sun puddle, and once I find it and dive right in, you have ...
I LOVE that room! I feel more relaxed just looking at it. Ikea sure is changing in the right direction!
guest post by color collective: the perfect room
Chelsea and I both share a love for gingham, white rooms and beautiful fabric. This photo taken for Ikea has it all! Guest post on Frolic! by Lauren of Color Collective. Photo: Ikea via Decorology.
ooooh, these are adorable! I'm a complete sucker for cute stationery items :-)
minikin
Melanie shared these with me the other day + of course I love. Right up my alley ... I always love a simple graph pattern.
Love Black & White! Never get tired of it, it's eternally chic :-)
black + white + linen
Happy Friday! We're gearing up to celebrate with a great couple this weekend. We'll be mixing bold black + white stripes with raw linens and gold accents. Hope you have an inspiring weekend! {Photo credits: 1 Laurie Arons Special Events + Meg Smith Photography via Style Me Prett...
