inspiration found

Last year when I was loving the treehouse,

I also found the images below of a house in Florida that reminded me of the treehouse:

Clearly, this house is much newer and the style is more modern but the colors and the setting really captured my attention.  I love the backyard & the marsh! and how the pool fits right in the middle of the house.  I love the tower (also treehouse like) and just the simplicity of everything.

The setting of a home can really enhance the overall appearance and I believe this setting is truly amazing.

How fun would this backyard be for kids??

I'm filing this away for ideas for a "someday house."

a swanky event

homes are for entertaining right?

i found the bridal luncheon details for a southern lady on the style me swanky blog today by accident...

but it was a happy accident as i enjoyed the beautiful images below

since my sister is getting married this fall, shower ideas and bridal luncheon ideas have begun floating in my head lately...

i look forward to the upcoming planning & festivites!

recharged. and ready to go.

ever have one of those weekends that completely changes your mood and outlook for the better and makes you feel like you can take on the world?  that's what happened last weekend for me. 

i escaped for a couple of days to see my family and was able to spend time with them and have no set place to be, no one to take care of, no schedule... and it was amazing. 

i shopped with the ladies of my family, spent mothers day with my mom and both grandmas, went to my sisters engagement party, shopped at target without a toddler, went for a walk in beautiful weather, admired a wall of wine, met new friends, ate good food, etc...

after all of that i came back home full of new ideas and completely recharged... here's to hoping i can keep up the blog - full of new ideas and exciting festivities to come this year.
