Simply Pretty {and don't forget to enter giveaway}

I just spotted this home over at Living Etc
 I love how it looks lived in but still beautiful. 
Each piece seems as though it was thoughtfully chosen and added over time.
Collected, not decorated.
Simple.
Pretty.








And speaking of pretty, here's my little one downtown today apres audition.



And here's a little more pretty...my big girl.  Isn't she gorgeous?  I can say that because we don't share DNA so I'm aloud to speak of her beautiousness.

Even more impressive then this though, is her talent.  The kid plays bass guitar like a rock star and can strum just about any song by ear- ridiculous.  And she get's straigh A's.  And, she can take a mean picture. 
See.



I am a lucky lucky girl I tell you.
One more quick thing, look what arrived at my door just 24 hours after the order was placed. 


That's right....it's my ostrich wallpaper by Beware the Moon.
And the best part, it's being installed tomorrow!!! I put an add out on Craigslist and found a guy with great references who will do it for under $150- brilliant.
Will post pictures of the wall all papered up and pretty tomorrow.

And finally, don't forget to click over and enter the giveaway for the chance to win a gorgeous print from Leigh Viner.  I ordered my Cricket, and can't wait for it to arrive.  Here's another peak at her work from an article featured in Style Simple Magazine.

And that my friends is all the pretty I have for one day.

  1. Well that was all lovely. The house is fabulous, so many gorgeous things in it - I could move right in. And your girls are gorgeous and so obviously talented too - should I be asking for an autograph of from your rock-star-in-the-making now?

  2. They are both gorgeous, and wow, that talent! Somehow I'm not surprised, with their mom (forget about DNA- I'm sure you're a role model.)
    Keep us posted about the wallpaper!

  3. Lots of things to comment on!

    That little leopard-print jacket and boots on your little girl is adorable!!

    And I'm so jealous of your other beauty's musical talent. My Dad is a musician, but, sadly, I didn't inherit any of it!

    And I'm so jealous of your wallpaper, you don't even know!
