DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT - ML INTERIOR DESIGN

With the weekend so close you can taste it, I just wanted to share a little design inspiration! Husband and I are going to be remodeling our kitchen this weekend, so we need all the pep we can get!

Please enjoy a few treats from ML INTERIOR DESIGN. Have you heard of Marisa? She does lovely, fresh design work, and we find her very inspiring! Having grown up in the heart of all things glamour, you can tell she has design in her bones. I especially love the soft, but rich colors she implements into her spaces.

Can you believe the charm of this entry?!! What a way to welcome your guests!

I LOVE this rug!!! Isn't it fabulous?!! I also love the clever mixing of chair styles and fabrics. It keeps an element of interest for the dining room.

HAPPY WEEKEND AND DESIGNER TIP!

Hi guys and happy Friday! What will you be up to this weekend? Hubby, baby P. and I are heading up to Park City with family visiting from Europe. We are hoping to give them a taste of the "Wild West" and mountain living. ;) I am also hoping to plant some flowers or at least start cleaning up my garden.

Speaking of flowers, the fastest and easiest way to spruce up a space (besides cleaning it up, of course) is to add flowers. Something as simple as a bud vase with one bloom can transform a space and make it feel pretty and fresh. When Stace and I are designing a room, the finishing touch is always flowers. Try it! Breathe a little life in to your home. Have a splendid weekend!

WEEKEND!

Happy Friday! Are you doing anything special this weekend? We have a game night planned, along with a brunch with family visiting from out-of-the-country. Hubby and I are also going to celebrate our 4 year, wedding anniversary here, with a romantic dinner. And on Sunday, I am planning to bake these cookies that I have seen floating around Pinterest. The recipe only makes two! Perfect. Now I won't be tempted by an entire batch. ;) Of course, I might have to double the recipe so I can share. See you on  Monday!

WEEK-END BUZZ

Good morning, darlings and happy first day of March! I am sooo looking forward to Spring. Luckily, it's just around the corner! March in our part of the world is rumored to "come in like a lion and go out like a lamb". Not sure what kind of weather the weekend will bring, but I would like to hit up a local farm with my Mister and Baby P. for fresh eggs and honey. And hopefully, manage a brunch, a walk around the neighborhood and a movie at home. How about you? Any fun plans? If you find yourself indoors, here are some great finds that have been floating around the web.

A little YELLOW to brighten your day. 

Hoping to make THIS chocolate pudding for movie night. 

The LATEST in Gabrielle Blair's Living With Kids series. Beautiful!

Kitchen STAMPS that will transform everyday baked goods in to haute couture wonders. 

Fabric RIBBONS for Kvadrat for Stockholm Design Week. 


Until Monday!

THE WEEKENDER

Welcome to the weekend! Just a few hours buttoning down our weekly tasks, and we are freeee! :) Please enjoy this past week from my point of view:

1. We have a new Crate & Barrel store! The website is great, but it is soooo much better in person! I love this modern dining room. The GLINT PENDANT LAMP especially caught my eye!
2. The husby-dusby and I are looking for a new sofa. We want clean lines and traditional style. I love the tufting on the PETRIE SOFA.
3. Another clean-lined sofa, but with an elegant and more feminine arm. Meet the BARRINGTON SOFA.
4. Enjoying the holiday at MY FAVORITE SKI RESORT. The hill was lovely. The moguls were mean, and relaxation at "the beach" was fantastic! PLEASE, if you are ever in Utah, come visit!!! (We meet chaps from all over the world here!)
5. View from MY MOUNTAINTOP on a lovely Sunday Drive!
6. More from my Crate & Barrel trip: the RIKA COLLECTION is a fantastic, uber-modern take on traditional Dutch Porcelain.
7. This is atop the hill where we took the neighborhood kids sledding Thursday after work. The evening was topped off with homemade hot cocoa and doughnuts from BANBURY CROSS. (I promise, you have not had a maple bar until you've had theirs!!)
8. Super sweet CANNING JARS. Oh, I love them! I love them, I love them! They make me want to blend up a batch of fresh raspberry preserves and take the spoils around the neighborhood with my Grandmother!

The weekend challenge is to discover your own town! I'll be hitting up a couple of the NEW ADDITIONS to my OLD MAIN STREET. I'll keep you posted on my finds!


Enjoy!
