Soul Pretty weekend in review...

...made Mini's favorite breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes...yum.

...worked on centerpieces for a clients b-day party...pretty.


...another breakfast, eggs, turkey bacon and chocolate croissants...D-lisch

Mini working that perm...I'm glad I did it...she loves it.
...We were going to make headbands, but time got away from us...put it on the todo list...

our sushi dinner...Yum

...We had movie night and watched, The Taking of Pelham 123...It was pretty good...I could've done without all the cursing...a little stereotypical of what most people believe New Yorkers are like...please believe that every other word out of our mouths is not a curse...ugh. I think Denzel did a good job of portraying a true New Yorker (duh, well he is from NY)...believe me, if something goes down you would want a New Yorker by your side...we don't back down and most of us have definite opinions about what we believe is right or wrong and were not afraid to let you know it...

In a perfect world...

I'd have a space like this in my home, just for books, magazines and me...sigh.

...a little Monday morning inspiration...

Goodmorning...I came across this talented, creative artist while blogging this weekend...her name is Brianna McCarthy...visit her site and you will be inspired...

This painting reminded me of me and Mini...

Funky Cottage...luv.

For all those in need of a little small room inspiration...

I always tell my clients, "I've never seen a room that can't be beautiful, no matter the size."

apartmenttherapy.com

perfectly mixed patterns...luv

...I really need to go out and source fabric for a clients drapes...but, I'm feeling lazy today...it's cold and rainy in the NYC...I hear Kmart is having a sale on puffer coats today and tomorrow...$9.99...Mini could use a new run around coat...so, I may be off to Kmart instead.

Little known fact about me...

I heart country music...the stories, the melodies...my dad was from the mid-west and he grew-up listening to country music and played it in the house all the time...one of my mom's favorite singers was Patsy Cline...So I guess I got it honestly...recently heard and feel in luv with this song by Darius Rucker...Oh, pure honesty...dedicated to all the new and old parents out there trying hard to hold it down....enjoy.

...killing me softly with his song...damn...I HEART COUNTRY MUSIC...now I understand why my dad listened...

Darius Rucker - Don't Think I Don't Think About It

Can I just show you a picture of what my livingroom looks like when I close me eyes real tight and dream...sigh. Luv it.

...and I know I've said, "I hate red rooms".... there is something about this room that speaks to me...

How cute are these...?

The on trend store, FOREVER 21 has a new line of plus size clothing called FAITH 21...Look what I found on their website...nice stuff, check it out. Your only gonna wear the stuff 2 or 3 times, so in my opinion...why spend a fortune on the trendy stuff? This store gets it...

FAITH 21

This plus size cami is just $3.99...WHAT?!

FOREVER 21

...of course you can just add a little ruffle trim to a pair of leggings you already own...I think it's too cute...

Design Crush...

I heart the designs of Japanese designer, Miki Fukai..

What's not to like...

Nice...

...the weather in NYC has been perfect for a little number like this...

Therapy....

...yesterday was one of those days...I needed to speak with a friend who always helps me to get back on track and focus...There I was again, trying to bring someone else along on my journey...extra luggage...My friend made me understand, again...that extra luggage will just slow me down, (and haven't I been slowed down enough) and even the airports are charging more for extra luggage nowadays...lol...and don't forget, when you have extra luggage it leaves very little room for the souvenirs of life...deep breath, release...

I'm back on my journey, sans luggage.

Thank you.

A real friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words...perfect, just perfect!

I'm working on a bedroom for a client and this room is my inspiration...I love the balance, classic lines, with a little glam...luv.

O.K...like, when do I move in?

...I don't know when it happened or why, but I'm in luv with everything in this room...just 5 years ago this room would have made me ill...

OMG, Been there done that...

Found this on the blog, www.townhouselady.blogspot.com.../
This is just one episode, too funny.

Luv, luv, luv...

Luv at first sight...

Atlanta Home Tour

I fell in luv with this home as soon as I opened the door...3 floors, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, lower level for an office or studio space and tons of character...just perfect...the price, $239,000.00! I viewed a similar new home in Harlem, NY and they were asking 1.8 million...Do the math.

Didn't they do a wonderful job at staging?
