Summer Reading List

It is soooo hot here.  I'm reeeally looking forward to getting our power bill.  That should be fun.  Anyway, wanted to share with y'all my summer reads.  Please share what you've been reading! 

1.  The Paris Wife by Paula McLain - Terribly depressing.  Has anyone read this?  What did you think?

2.  The Help by Kathryn Stockett - Can't wait to start this one!

3.  Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Am I the only person who hasn't read this?  I never read it in school, but I feel like it is a classic, so I should.  

4.  The Valley of the Light by Terry Kay - I think Terry Kay can do no wrong!  Love everything he writes!

5.  The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards - This was on the "new" shelf at the library.  

6.  Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling - I've read the first two.  I love HP, but I've decided not to check out any more HP books from the library.  Lets just say they were, um, "well used" - Live and Learn!


These are also a few on my list:

Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo
Love, Lucy by Lucille Ball
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

In other news, I love this kitchen - Can't remember where I found this image (maybe off Tessa's blog @ Nine & Sixteen - she has the best inspiration photos!), but kudos to whoever designed this masterpiece.  Simply Perfection!


And in other, other news, you know you live in a small town when you stop at a railroad crossing and this is in front of you....


Happy Tuesday!
Stay cool!

Closet LOVE

What I wouldn't give for this to be my closet
I'm
in 
LOVE

Apparently, this is the closet of Meg Braff, who might be my new favorite designer.
And, anyone who has a closet this awesome, I want to be friends with
So, maybe when I win the lottery, I'll have her decorate my house and my closet

Happy Friday, Chickens!

PS.
So sad to hear about Elizabeth Taylor
All of you who have little girls, make sure you rent National Velvet 
It is one of my favorite movies
a classic,
just like its star

PSS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my DAD!
LOVE YOU!!!

So Blue...

...in a good way...
I have a serious obsession with...
blue and white!
Love this book by Carolyne Roehm - great for the coffee table!!!
Blue and white pottery...
Blue and white fabrics...
I think there is something so classic about the combination.

You just can't go wrong.

I've decorated our guest room in blue and white.
It's still got a ways to go,
but...
let me show you what I have so far...




This blue and white piece is currently holding guest towels -
no green thumb here!  :(


my new blue and white pot
which my friend donated to me :)
it needs some sort of plant that can't be killed

New vase I got over Christmas
All it needs is a bunch of white hydrangeas! 


I found this cover in my stack of Southern Accents -
Love it!  So timeless...

Here are some more of my *inspiration* images for our guest bedroom!
Maybe one day our guest room will look like this...
In the meantime, I'll keep dreaming!


Love the chair and accent pillow fabric...
Love
and that lamp!!!

This is a little more French country chic.
So classic!
Love the checks!

Blue and white pottery collection 
Such a great display!
I'd love to have a blue and white kitchen!
