My Dream Home: La Petite Bastide

>> Thursday, June 17, 2010

This is my dream house. I am madly in love every last detail...the colors, textures, finishes, furniture, and the lighting fixtures....ooooh the lighting fixtures! Bonus - it's in France, near the the village of Lourmarin in Provence. La Petite Bastide is for rent by the week, and I have officially announced to my hus and my family that we will all be vacationing there next year and to start saving their pennies. Thank you to Lake Jane and Desire to Inspire for sharing this perfect home...and now I leave you with the most amazing interior design & architecture I have ever drooled over.

P.S. I just wanted to throw a big early Father's Day shout out to all the dads out there....especially Poppy, who is the world's best father to my sister's and me...WE LOVE YOU, Pops!

Today I thought it would be fun to share some idea for creating a unique DIY Dessert Tablescape by just adding a few finishing details to fit you style!

Get the perfect finishing touches here:
flag banner, bird cake toppers, birch vase, cupcakes, ribbon, cake stand, chalkboard

Remember to stick with your theme, use your venue as a backdrop to make it all come together perfectly and always choose the perfect balance of treats to serve your guests! Enjoy!

Aparment Therapy: Small Cool 2010

>> Tuesday, June 15, 2010

In case you missed this fantastic Apartment Therapy House Tour last week, I had to share some of my favorite photos (all shot by my fabulous friend, Jess Watson, of The Wife of an Artist) with you! This charming 1930's Sausalito, California cottage is only 365 square feet! Owner, Beth, won this year's Small, Cool 2010 contest with her creative, eclectic and functional design, and this home tour is probably one of my favorite's from AT.
