Look what finally arrived! It’s pretty cool to have my piano in my house again – I’ve been picking tunes out all day. And I’m really looking forward to playing Christmas carols in a few weeks (and may have placed my Christmas sheet music at the top of the pile already).
This is the first house I’ve ever lived in that’s had hardwood floors. And as a result, I’ve become obsessed with rugs… and have been kicking myself for our decision to go with carpet in our dining room and my office. Especially when I come across these mod, colorful patterned rugs every. single. day. on sites like Joss and Main, The Foundary, and Rue La La.
Le sigh.

The older I get, the more I appreciate a perfect Fall day. And we had quite possibly the best one this past Saturday. The sun was shining, not a rainy-looking cloud in the sky, and perfect sweater-weather temps. It was poem-worthy.
So we did the most logical thing – got some friends together and went to a Sunflower Festival at this cool local farm!
Just a couple of friends, hangin’ in a sunflower field…
I think we’ll definitely be going back next year.
You might remember that a few weeks ago I bought a small oval table at the Burlington Antique Show. With some, ahem, slightly outdated blue hydrangea stickers on the top, it wasn’t our style. But I liked the shape, and the size was a perfect fit between the two ivory chairs in our family room. So what better way to make it work than to whip up a diy side table makeover?
I don’t mean graphic as in R-rated, but graphic as in bold patterns and colors!
There are some days when I daydream about having an all-white kitchen – white cabinetry, white countertops, white tile floors… and today is one of them. Can you image how fun and energized an all-white kitchen would look with pops of these plates, platters and teapots? Gah! Is it too late to change out our maple and cherry for white, white, white, white?
All of these beauties were found via the Pattern Play sale at One Kings Lane. They’re on sale today! Grab your favorite while you can!
