I'm madly in love with her master suite, which used to be the two tiny front bedrooms. All of the fabulous blue on the walls and pretty fabrics, the half canopy, and the dressing table! And the study...what a perfect place to blog! The photographs by <a href="http://trevortondro.com/" target="_blank">Trevor Tondro</a> really capture it all so beautifully too. To see before-n-afters of the space, head to <a href="http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/bedroom-before-after-photos-bee2-0311" target="_blank">House Beautiful</a>!<br /><br />I'm so happy it's Friday! Believe it or not, 6 weeks from today Chris and I will be getting married. (Didn't we just get engaged?!) Tonight I'm meeting with a hair and makeup artist to go over my vision and on Sunday Chris' super sweet sisters are throwing me a wedding shower! My very own wedding shower...I can't believe it! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend too!<br /></div></div>

Where would I ever see something like this in my "normal" world?! Thanks to Blair at <a href="http://delightbydesign.blogspot.com/2011/02/inspiration-portholes-dories.html" target="_blank">Delight by Design</a> for finding this gem from <a href="http://www.nuevo-estilo.es/espacios/396/396_1_1.shtml" target="_blank">Nuevo Estilo</a>. Love all that weathered wood, the fancy French sink and those delicate little circular windows!<br /><br />I'm back from LA! What a time I had. Being in the sunshine and seeing green felt SO amazing, just the refreshing break I needed. The conference really was fantastic. Like I've been saying, it was so great to meet and learn from all of those talented and creative people. I can't wait to implement all the stuff I learned. First things first, did you all know I have <a href="http://www.decorbycolor.com/" target="_blank">decor shopping blogs</a> (including a <a href="http://www.everythingturquoise.com/" target="_blank">turquoise one</a>, of course)?! It seemed like every person I talked to there had no idea! Looks like I need to start promoting myself better! ;)<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.decorbycolor.com/" target="_blank">www.decorbycolor.com</a></span><br /></div>

(To more snow on the way I hear....so not cool!)
