We are keen on a little retro, a little old, a little modern, and a lot of green

This is what we have been up to-with the help of a dear friend who visited and gave her insightful decorating ideas.  Yes, those are green stripes on my walls ("lemongrass" stripes that make me exhale when I am eating at our dining room table)  and yes those are pom pom's on a drum chandelier that I fell in love with at first sight.  It was a must to top it off with our old chair from the 1800's.  

Below we took this wonderful passed down play kitchen from drab to fab by painting it- yes green- but not lemongrass "tansy green" for the girls- and added a few new knobs.  And what better than some good ole silouettes for our breakfast nook turned art room.  

Two things that make us very happy right now- magnetic chalkboard paint all around the art room, and 10 little lanterns in the window.  

We're having fun with this house stuff.

All for Sophia

Sophia turned 4 last month and it was a big one for her.  She is my laid back-don't give me a lot of attention girl -but with her best friends and cousins along she had a wonderful day complete with a party at Petland (she is very passionate about animal friends).  

Heres to our Sophia who likes to lick the rain, make goofy faces, cuddle rolly polly's, dreams of owning a dog, and still enjoys a good nap.
