thankful in san diego..

i have been enjoying the fall.. tremendously.. it is by far my favorite part of this year so far.. it is so crisp, dazzling and bright.. the ocean appears to have glitter sprinkled in it, the sky is SO blue.. 

i am so blessed to live here.. i am filled above my eyeballs with gratitude.. for so much.

i am loving everyone expressing thanks this month, it being thanksgiving, people make a point to look at the positive and wonderful things in their lives, people seem to have a skip in their step.. is that why? because we are focusing on the wonderful things?

 the 30 days of thanks game is all over the social media airwaves and i love it.

it is just so nice to hear everyone so happy.

i shot this photo last night..

right at sunset.

driving home from taking makena to soccer practice, i decided to run home, grab my camera and quickly drive down to the beach..

something was in the air and i had to snap it..

guess it's all that gratitude..

i just ordered this photo on canvas for my home.

i just think it is fabulous.
so random.
but you know when you see something and you just REALLY love it?
this photo was on of those things.

you love what you love and why ask why?

right?

bar carts.

lately..

i am loving the idea of bar carts..

i don't know if it is the chilly weather, the holidays approaching, maybe it is the show we are obsessed with mad men or maybe i am just that sophisticated..

{we all know that last one is so NOT true}

here are some of my favorites..

this one doesn't really have that much going on and i think the simplicity of it so fabulous.. 

this one is full of choices.. it would be so tough to decide.. but that is not a bad thing..

this one is just beautiful..

all the bright labels,  the gorgeous cobalt blue glasses, the vintage and modern mix to this one wins my vote..

and i love that it is so feminine with those stunning PINK roses..

MY bar cart would def have roses {or peonies}..

i love the quirky chic-ness of this one..

the fun elk shot glasses, cool 50's housewife napkins and the fab watch dog..

this was a client who's wedding i photographed and their apartment and style was total eye candy..

i love these glasses.. 

 and these glasses..

and stemless is always a winner in my book..

champagne cocktails are among my favorites..

how are amazing these labels?

and the name?

i think a mix of vintage with modern is the way to go..

this vintage bar set sitting on this tray..

what do you think?

do you have a bar cart?

or.

would you come over for a cocktail if i had one?

inspiration can get the best of me.

my new office wall..

it was the hardest thing i have ever done..

i cried..

i sweated..

i whined more than i would like to admit..

then.

i cried again..

i painted over the ENTIRE wall..

yes.

but being the stubborn girl that i am..

i went for it again..

thanks GOODNESS third time is NOT a charm.. 

second time is..

happy friday friends!

organize much?

this is out of hand.

mini home tour.

i have had a couple people ask to see my painting that i conquered last week and in the past a lot of questions about my headboard...

i decided to just post a few photos since

i recently took some for the fabulous green your air gals of their plants in my house for their website so easy peeasy..
done and done..

enjoy..

top drawer..

my new and improved organization technique..
put it in a pretty bowl..

my jewelry collection is getting a bit crazy..

i love how you can just add a crazy necklace to your white {well with me most likely grey} tee and jeans and instantly feel a bit sassy..

to top it off..

i am now saving for these beauties next..

for the ends of the dining table.. in white.. all i need is 2..

they are called the panton chair..

i love them.

i am finally going for it with the headboard next weekend..

i know, it has taken forever..

am i so boring with my house stuff?

you see..

i am home so much with the girls.. it is so important to me we all love love our home.. it is very personal to me.. we have collected over the years and many of my pieces have stories..

i love to open it up to friends and family and i hope they love it too...

it is a great feeling when i actually complete a project..

so let's cross our fingers the headboard is everything i dream of and we can check it off the loooooong list..
