Architectural Digest: Patrick Dempsey

I am loving the casual lived in styling of Patrick Dempsey's family home in Malibu, complete with recycled wood chicken coup. The home is a Frank Gehry architectural gem from the late 1960's. Hidden behind olive trees the unassuming exterior hides a treasure trove. 

When the weather is gross do you ever just feel like staying in with a cup of tea and a book (Netflix)? My weekends are never on the same days so when I get time off I try to do as little as humanly possible.

Getaway : Lake Front

Derrick and I went to on a weekend getaway to lake Michigan a few weeks ago. The scenery was just beautiful and we had a fantastic time relaxing and wandering around the little towns and visiting several of the lighthouses. I thought I would share some of the photos. 

Happy Monday all!

Elements of Style

My inspiration can come from anywhere however now-a-days Pinterest gets a lot of my attention (guilty pleasure). I love the idea of a neutral color pallet with a lot of texture. Fresh flowers never hurt either. 

A Little DIY

We have been wanting a new dining table for quite some time and I am considering this little project. I found it on this fantastic website full of diy's. I think it looks great with the look I have been obsessed with the last few weeks.

Dreamy Neutrals

A little Pinterest inspiration:

There is something so good about a little tone on tone neutral with texture. It will never be wrong. It makes for the perfect seasonal backdrop if you like to change things up like I do.

My Current Obsession:

Restoration Hardware relatively recently updated their location by us here in Indianapolis and ever sense I just can't seem to get enough of the look. I am loving the layers of bedding and cozy calming colors of the store. I have copies of their catalogs everywhere. As I have been going through and updating our look here I find that I enjoy that concept more and more.

update on my life

I am so thankful to all the readers who have supported me during my blogging absence. Things around here have been hectic and crazy. Many things have happened sense my last posting like two new additions to our house hold, a crazy work schedule, and that I am getting married! I am excited to be back and I will try my best not to make this a wedding blog.
