finally… I’m so happy! It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of my decor projects. This has been a long and crazy week so I’m thrilled to share this project with you as a way to sign off for a long weekend. This is the home of my sweet and super stylish friend, Annie Salem. Annie purchased her townhome this spring and asked me if I would help her pull it together after visiting the Neiman Marcus event. I was beyond excited!! I love Annie and I knew her style. We knew it would be a great fit for both of us. See below for the before and after details. Hope you enjoy!! Have a wonderful holiday weekend friends!!!

If you don’t know about owner Christine Visneau, stay tuned but in the meantime go here and here, oh and here.. More on her very soon… she’s shockingly talented (clearly). In celebration of their birthday, they are having a “pop-up” store sponsored with Simple Lovely highlighting Rikshaw Design (who -ps- also makes fab kurtas for women). Henna tattoo artists, bubbly, cute clothes, all fun. Friday, Sept 3, 6-8pm; 5308 Junius, Dallas**

truly… Tadd Myers is an old friend of mine who just happens to be an amazing photographer. He has been working for the past couple of years on a personal project called American Craftsman. It’s beautiful in every way. I’m so proud of all the people involved in this project. If you are local you may have heard about it, if not, then you will enjoy. Maybe you know a Craftsman? Check it out. (and be sure not to miss the videos… they are really telling)

shhh, listen… You might here the tiniest whisper of something curious and lovely! I was so excited when Jenny from Far4 in Seattle emailed me about their new like of porcelain plates “if you talk to them…“. These snowy white little lovelies are all designs based on a world of blissful make believe — girls walking on snails, riding a turkey and sitting on a grasshopper. This one is called “Brie and her snail“. You might remember when I posted about this wonderful store on my visit to Seattle last summer. It’s truly one of my favorite places in the city — chalked full of beautiful and mostly bizarre things like a porcelain machine gun or a tattooed baby. Just sayin’.

start the drooling now… In the spirit of schools and libraries and such, I’m SO ridiculously excited to share this home renovation from Dana Hardy and her husband Paul, of Meadowbroke. They are tackling this house one room at a time and I stumbled on to their blog recently to find this!! I’m so jealous I can hardly stand it. Read below to see pics of this super chic, dark, cozy library all done by these two incredibly talented and creative people. The colors (or lack there of) are absolute perfection. It all reminds me a bit of Roman and Williams. Which I love.

just in case you missed it… kiddos are back in school, school supplies are bought, summer is over for teachers and homework is back in full swing this week. It’s sort of fun to think about going to back to school, I went to a convocation on Sunday and thought for the first time in a long time about being dropped off for college. Terrifying and exciting at the same time. I remember when I was younger getting a new “first to school” outfit. BIG DEAL. VERY important. Who knows why we cared sooo much?? Anyway - I thought it would be fun to focus this week on some good old school splendor. You might recognize this Public School poster from Joslyn’s house. I love this saying. How fitting for just about any situation, don’t you think?
