Hi!

How are you?  It has been a while!

So I will start with my excuse for the delay in posting anything for a while...  I have been really focused on some, much needed, home projects.

Every heard the saying the cobbler's children have no shoes?  Well, that's me.  I never seem to have the time or money to focus on my own house.  So I decided it was time to get a few updates done.  And as you can imagine one thing led to another.  So....hopefully, I will be able to post some pics soon once I have some things completed.

Until then a few random thoughts of things I have seen and loved...and just so we are clear....that IS the USUAL type of thought I have.  Random. 

Love these new Saybrook rugs from Ballard Designs....and even better they are indoor/outdoor.  These rugs are great under a kitchen table/eating area - because they are durable and allow for easy clean-up.  Great pattern and colors!

I love, love, love this lantern!!!  It's from Lowe's and very affordable.  Wouldn't it be great in an entry or two of them together over a big kitchen island?

Check out this armless settee from Nate Berkus HSN.  Great solution for an area where you don't have a lot of room but need comfortable and chic seating.

Love the fabric Cross Section in Charcoal from Waverly.

Fun and functional table from World Market.  Round coffee table in hammered steel creates a rich texture with functional storage (the top comes off).

Have a great week ....now back to my projects!
