A Wink and A Smile

I happen to have a slight obsession with big round dining room or kitchen tables. Some family friends of mine growing up have a huge round kitchen table and I think that’s what got me started. Their house is the type of place with the door always unlocked. It’s truly a warm, welcoming house for entertaining and family and friends and the round table reminds me of that. 
The chairs are amazing too! I love the hot pink, but would probably stick to a more neutral color like navy or flax colored linen in my home.

Currently Loving: Ghost Chairs

I have a love affair lately with beautiful, modern ghost chairs. The first time they really grabbed me was in the Waldorf’s dining room on Gossip Girl:

The cushions are fabulous!! They bring a great level of comfort for every day. 

These are pretty popular for events and weddings, but not quite as popular as chivari chairs or garden chairs. I feel like I’ve been seeing them more lately and the love affair continues. Check out this wedding from Style Me Pretty:

You can see the whole blog post here. I adore the way the clear chairs add a modern touch to the beautiful classic silver and white color scheme. Le sigh. I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start!

Dream House

Like most of you I’m sure, I’m addicted to Pinterest. My favorite thing to look for is photos of amazing home decor. I even had to break my home decor board up by category because it was getting so crowded. I wanted to share my very favorite inspiration photos. Behold, my dream house:

{porch swing / fireplace / living room / exterior / window seat / breakfast area / stairslaundry room / dining room / kitchen}

{bathroom / bedroom / playroom / kids bathroom / bedroom / man cave / master closet}

I did my best with the sources. Some photos were saved a long time ago before Pinterest kept me so organized.

Last week I zoned out in front of my computer screen and overhauled my Pinterest boards. I deleted duplicate pins, moved pins from the wrong board to the right one, and split up my Home Decor board. My home decor board was getting pretty out of control so I split it up into the following boards:

Bedrooms

Bathrooms

Living Rooms

Kitchens and Dining Spaces

Exteriors

Closets and Laundry

Interiors (Misc)

I hope to see you on Pinterest!

With a wink and a smile,
