Chevron

A chevron pattern adds dimension and pizazz to a quiet, neutral palette.

 I just bought this little rug to spice up my bland kitchen.  It's an inexpensive alternative... 

to these painted kitchen floors that are oh so dreamy.

The New Year

Happy New Year!  I have many resolutions for 2012 that I WILL follow through with, as always.  A few at the top of my list consists of: start a company, read more, document more of my life (scrapbook!), shop less, give more of my time to others in need, travel (on a budget), write more letters, under promise- over deliver, and most importantly, continue to count my blessings.  Whew.

A Few Of My Favorite Things

Things I'm loving lately:

• Sheepskin Rug - I've been on a search for one.  In a hallway, bathroom, or even thinking of layering it on top of my sisal rug in the living room.
• Red Currant by Votivo- My favorite scent year around and at Christmas it comes in this festive muted silver cup.
• Half coated denim by JBrand. Have to get my hands on a pair!
• This Missoni infinity scarf will add some flare to my black coat.
• Black wool coat by Burberry.  Timeless.  On my Christmas list.
• Paperwhites adorn my home this time of year.
