Aahh, Jamaica!

My husband and I are going next week to Jamaica to stay at the Couples Swept Away resort in Negril and I'm SUPER excited! Although the thought alone of being away from my 4 month baby daughter makes me terribly sad, it will be so good for us to just get away and relax on the beach sippin' something fruity and delicious plus Granma is going to LOVE having her lil' one all to herself!

Now, I'll have to work on finding the courage to wear my bathing suits! Eek! =)

Cool Lamps

In addition to the chair we're adding to our bedroom, I'm also considering changing our existing lamps for the wood one above from West Elm. They always manage to create a wonderful balance between rustic and modern that I just love and after looking through their catalog with pictures of beautifully decorated rooms, I suddenly wish I had more rooms to fill with their goodies! Actually, after a quick glance around our neat 2 bedroom apt I think I see a few free space! =)

Bauble Necklaces

Nothing adds spice to a blah outfit like a big statement necklace. I've scored many pieces from vintage/thrift shops and ebay and I can't get enough! Anthropologie has such great vintage-y necklaces, each have fun quirky charms, plastic flowers or stones, to name a few, all mixed-matched to create some really funky designs!

Room & Board - Chair for Bedroom

We need a chair for the bedroom, but when one changes the bedroom linens as often as I do, it makes choosing a chair super tough. I'm thinking like a dark sand linen textured fabric that matches easily with most decor? Room and Board, where we purchased our sofas and two chairs, have really amazing modern furniture options and many fabulous mid century style pieces (from Eames to Noguchi). They have so many fabric options, it makes my sandy linen fabric option sound kinda boring! The above piece is what I'm considering but how I can I resist so many fabric options?? Click Here

Latest collage in my Esty store - Kangaroos

I've been asked how I decide which animals I'll use in my collages? Well, while I mainly do the brainstorming, I must give credit to my darling husband. He's infamous for blurting out wacky things at the most random times; it can be a bit annoying sometimes but he sure keeps things interesting! Anyways, so what better source of inspiration than from someone like him?? When my mind is cluttered with so many ideas/concepts I turn to him and ask him and he usually response in like half a second his own idea. Kangaroos were his most recent "blurt". Ahh, we make a great team...My Etsy Store

And off we go!

I've been procrastinating. I haven't written in my blog since I started so I thought I'd start by posting a pic of my work space, which is probably organized only one day out of the week. A gift from my hubby from the Container Store, the orange boxes contains and organizes all my papers, tools & supplies. I love them! Things still get a little cluttered and it drives my husband a little crazy to see bits of paper littered about but he otherwise he leaves me to my mess!
