This weekend's forecast calls for sunshine! Even though our pool has been open for two weeks already, we've not managed to set one foot in it yet...all that's about to change starting this afternoon! Hope you're ready to dive right into your weekend!

The Art Of Displaying Your Jewelry

With "boutique" style closets becoming more and more popular it seems only fitting that artfully displaying jewelry would also become a trend, one I'm quite in favor of.  Rather than stashing it all away in boxes and drawers, why not accessorize with your baubles? Not only do these vignettes look so appealing, but they serve the very practical purpose of seeing what you have in front of you each day... (instead of my current situation of outta sight ~ outta mind!)

Landscape Inspiration: Miranda Brooks Design

It never fails. Every winter I have these grandiose ideas about fabulous new outdoor elements...and yet, every Memorial Day seems to come and go in a flash, needless to say, without a plan. Even though our property has come a long way from the first year we moved up from the city without a clue as to watering schedules or how much seeding cost, I still find myself looking to make a few improvements here and there.  As far as getting great ideas, the next best thing to going out in the car and real estate stalking is finding a beautiful site like Miranda Brooks for amazing landscape design inspiration. You can view all her lovely projects here.

Wednesday Wants

Now that summer is unofficially officially here, I'm thinking our outdoor spaces could use a few quirky pieces to liven things up a bit.  These whimsical crane planters from Anthropoligie, caught my eye. One part graceful curves and one part whacky bird toes, this is exactly what my back porch needs...

Fearlessly Fierce: Kelly Behun Studio

The summer issue of New York Magazine (which I devoured over the long weekend) is completely devoted to design.  One designer whose work really jumped off the pages at me was Kelly Behun.  Curious to see even more of these bold interiors, I checked out her site.  Full of fresh, hip inspiration, here are some stand outs from Kelly Behun Studio.  According to New York Magazine, Kelly is working on a new furniture line. No doubt these will be as sexy and fun as her interiors...
