Happy New Year!!




















This is one I could absolutely not resist sharing, and it's so perfect for today! Talented bi-coastal wedding and portrait photographer Alice G Patterson is a girl after my own heart. Not only does she really love dogs, she also loves turquoise! I love how she used it in her holiday decor, but also to ring in 2014! But let's be honest...it's really the dogs that are the showstoppers here!! SOOO cute!

Happy New Year everyone!! However you plan to celebrate, be safe and have fun!

Thibaut


I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Best one ever here! Except for the fact that I picked up a bug and have since been stuck in bed...ugh! I'll tell you this much though, this photo has seriously brightened my mood. Pink and turquoise, fabulous wallpaper, beautiful furniture...it does not get any better than this! The image comes from Thibaut (of course!) and features their new Resort collection, their gorgeous turquoise South Sea wallpaper and fabric in particular. And I am l.o.v.i.n.g. it!

And now I'm going back to bed! Happy weekend everyone!

Merry Christmas!

Can you believe it's already Christmas Eve?! Never has a year flown by so fast. Last Christmas Chris and I had just found out that I was pregnant, and here we are now with Wesley already 4 months old! What a year it's been and what a special Christmas this will be! Thank you all so much for reading my blog, and for your support, enthusiasm and friendship throughout the year! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Hymns and Verses












Of course I had to share this one too!! Doreen of Hymns and Verses was another blogger who graciously opened her door for a virtual Christmas home tour....and what a beautiful door it is! She used Benjamin Moore's Mill Springs Blue, a color perfect for all seasons! I just adore her back porch. What a fun idea to put a tree out there! The vintage mason jars are a super cute touch too! Step inside and finish your tour of her lovely home here!

I cannot believe that Christmas is only 5 days away! I've been in the holiday mood big time after visiting all of the beautiful homes above! You'll definitely want to crank up your holiday tunes, pour some hot chocolate and spend some time at the links above (and see where they take you...so many great tours out there right now!) I love seeing how people incorporate turquoise into their holiday decor! All so different, yet all so beautiful! I'm so thankful to all of those in blogland who open up their homes for virtual holiday tours!

This is bound to be a very busy weekend for everyone! Whether you are shopping, traveling, baking or wrapping, I wish you all the the merriest of days! :)
