{happy friday + a winner}

Happy weekend all! It makes me nervous to even TYPE this, but I literally have just over a week until I defend my PhD thesis ... so needless to say my weekend will be filled with reading/studying/practicing my presentation & reading some more. Deep breath!



All the while looking nothing like those fabulous ladies! Picture pj's, a robe, and maybe I'll put my contacts in on a good day. Oh how I cannot wait to come out of hibernation!! Before I leave you and hit the books ... it's time to announce the Bedding Style giveaway winner! Thank you all for your entries, and a big thanks to the fabulous folks at Bedding Style for hosting this contest.

{house tour: via little green notebook}

Ok, I know that probably half the world already saw {and pinned} Callie's home tour on Little Green Notebook yesterday, but I just have to re-post a few images here in case you happened to miss it. Mostly because I don't get super excited about spaces I come across everyday, but this one knocked my socks off. It is totally my style; neutrals with tiny touches of color, gorgeous vignettes everywhere you look, glamour, and hey a few ginger jars for good measure! I could move right in. Be sure to go see many more images over at LGN!






The vignettes! They are all so gorgeous! Callie is one talented gal ...







It's all so good, I can't get it out of my head ever since seeing it yesterday. And after seeing her pieces I feel an overwhelming urge to spray something in black lacquer!

Today is the last day to get your name in the draw to win a $250 designer bedding set from from Bedding Style HERE! Contest closes at midnight EST, I'll announce the winner tomorrow!

{words to live by ...}

I pinned the words below to my pinterest account this afternoon, because they really resonated with me. Instantly I had 100's of re-pins so I guess that means it spoke to a lot of other people as well! I thought I'd post it here since it states such truth:

Love it. Definitely words to live by.

{tabletop inspiration: blue & white ginger jars}

I'm always looking for styling tips and tricks I can try, and this is one of my favorites. Grouping blue & white ginger jars adds instant drama to any tabletop. I think the trick is to work in odd numbers, and include different shapes, heights, and widths. Filled with flowers? Even better.


Style me Pretty - love the lids alongside

One of my favorite examples is in a dining room designed by Grant K. Gibson, I love the entire room, but the vignette on the table really captured me.


Grant K. Gibson - that painted wood floor, to die for!


Selection of Ginger Jars from the extensive collection via Bombay & Co.

I've got 2 beautiful jars in my home, one antique and one from Bombay & Co., but I am pretty convinced that I need a few more to try this styling trick. I think one of my favorite things about these pieces is that they can appear uber traditional or totally fresh and modern in a different setting. Are you crushing on this look like I am?
