Are you all seeing what I am seeing? It is everywhere I turn it seems! I love a good geometric pattern, and have been planning a piece for the last couple of months. Also, I love it when fashion design trends and furniture design can mesh a bit......but just like all trends, a little goes a long way! Finding a way to take a small part of a trend, and make it timeless is the trick! I think I definitely have a plan!
Have a great day today!

Oh... my... dear...goodness, these are fantastic, smashing, and complete perfection.
Naturally shed, and hand painted in the prettiest shades.

 I run across these ornate frames so very often, and I think this is one of the prettiest projects I have seen using one. Head over to Song Of Style for full directions, and a super fun blog to boot.
Next time, I won't look at these and think "nah....you see those everywhere". Instead I will say " those look good enough to eat, and I'll take all 10 please".

  Love this simple way of using really great color combos on a set of found objects.....in order to create something really fresh and modern. Choosing right color is key my friends.

You all know that I love paint, and color, and wood, and wooden sticks....and the such. So, when I saw this super simple, yet super fantastic display of color and awesomeness I had to share.
Check it.

....I found this photo, and I cannot for the life of me find the link that goes with the photo. If you all know where this originated....do tell so that I can give proper credit.....and also find the directions:) These little hexnuts are part of my every day life, and a bracelet out of them would be AWESOME! 
Love how this piece mixed with some sparkly bling just looks fantastic!
I will make {and wear} one of these.....maybe next week while I am sitting on the beach......

EDIT: the link for this bracelet is found here! yay!

 I think these little guys are fantastic, and would be great fun to purchase new from Ladies and Gentlemen, or create yourself! These unique pieces are exactly what I think of when one wants to add originality and spunk to their home. It's all in the details remember?
Just shootin' straight.
