Mush Brain - 10 Favezies

First, thank you more than I can possibly say for the amazingly sweet comments you left yesterday.

Honestly, I cried through every single one and am beyond touched...truly...they say in times like these you realize who your friends are and it's absolutely so incredible to me that so many people I've never even met can reach out and be so supportive and kind.

Thank you from the absolute pits of my heart- I'll treasure your thoughtful words forever.

As for today's post, my brain is sort of not really functioning past minute to minute 'my dog is sick' coping...so, my posts for the next little while might be a bit scattered...I know you understand and I love you for it.

So, for today...just some pretty things that have caught my attention as of late...random but good on the eyes.

1. This Ruthie Sommers bathroom...

Gorgeous mirrored powder room  Ruthie Sommers

I'm not sure who the hell gets to own that magnificence but it should really be mine instead...I mean really...it's me in bathroom form.

I'm banking this for my 'one day I'll knock it off' file.

2. Gwyneth's new Windsor Smith encrusted pad...

House of Windsor/Gwyneth

Gwyneth Paltrow's home in LA by Windsor Smith

...this place totes screams dream home to me and along with this little #...

black and white home, porch, black front door

...has cemented my #projectexterior change of plans...thinking I'm going to go white- just so smitten with the whole black,white, green thing...mine will have some pink too of course;)

3. Animal Topiaries....

I mean really- how could I NOT have these?

4.  Bedroom Pretty...

These lovelies have all caught my eye for one reason or another...

love love, wallpaper, carpet, palate

...makes me want to get my damn master done...so far, I've got art, furniture and pillows...


...but there's ALOT left to do.

5.  Dining Utopia

beautiful

...doesn't get much prettier than that folks.

7.  Want List

Fendi Casa’s carbon fiber, gold-leaf, and leather chair.

...I mean really...how could you not lust after this Fendi chair goddess?

loewe’s luggage

...absolutely 100% balls to the wall, my all time fave luggage.

LOVE ring from Tiffany & Co.

...husband are you reading this? Pretty sure this Tiffany ring would make the perfect b-day gift for the best wife in the world this year:)

8. DIY

If you follow Twitter/Facebook, you may have noticed a recent debate on the merits of DIY.

I'm firmly in the 'if you can make it and have it be fabulous, whilst saving buckets of money, than why the hell wouldn't you' camp...of course, if you can't make it and have it be gorgeous, than pay someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you- obvious I would think.

Creating something from loads of nothingness is good...supporting others and not begrudging their talents..also good...I digress.

My love for creative people who can knock out DIYs like this has grown exponentially as of late for reasons such as this..

I'm doing this...Splendid Objects: DIY: Geometric Lampshade

...I'm SO knocking that bad boy off.

Holy mother of brass holyness...NEED THAT EFFING BANISTER...hard.

I'm pulling the 'I have a good excuse' card and not crediting properly or this post will never get up...I'm entertaining this afternoon and it's both kids last day of school so well...I've got shit to get done.

Everything here is on my Pinterest page- go here if you want more deets.

Also, sorry for the pics that are all different sizes- I know that's bad blogger form- just too lazy to re-size them all...this was a cut and paste sort of day.

And with that, I'm off.

Rainbow love.

  1. Literally obsessed with everything. I've seen that Fendi chair and nearly panicked - it's SO good.

  2. Gwyneth's house is so gorgeous. The white+black+green is so classic and fresh.

    I chuckled when I saw the bathroom in the first image -- that IS you!

  3. Nice pretties :-)

    I only just read your post from yesterday. Lost my furry soulmate last year. Still can't think about her now without tearing up! The guilt thing, I totally understand but, their love is, as you say, unconditional so they obviously don't see what you perceive. They just love.

    So sorry, it will get better and you will know when the time is right. She will let you know with the look in her eye.

    Enjoy every moment!
    Thinking of you!

  9. Love all your inspiration today (as always)... especially that first bathroom. When I saw you pin it I nearly died and quickly repinned.

    On another note, I caught up on your post from yesterday and I just want you to know I am so sorry about your sweet pup. Dogs become just like people and really become part of our family. I completely understand your saddness and I am so sorry you are having to deal with this after your Nana. :(

  20. I like the 1st picture above, at first I just thought it was a balcony... but no way, it's a very romantic comfort room I've seen so far. Great post!

Sorry about the annoying captias...tried turning them off for a day and my inbox exploded with crap.

Smooches to everyone who perservered and left a sweet comment anyways! xoxo
