I want...

Me likey. And want. Here.

I want...

I am thinking I need this. Which is weird as I am so not an animal print type of person.

All I want for Christmas...

On my wishlist to Santa this year...

Antler hook. Not sure where I would put it, but I am sure I would find a spot.

This watch. MCB says I can't have one - since he already has one of his own. I don't care. I love it and want one anyway.

I continue on the hunt for the perfect pair of black boots worthy enough for me to drop some serious money on. These are a top contender.

I love this neon scarf. The perfect pop of color.

I have nowhere to use such a fancy bag, but darn if I don't love it. Like lots.

Sharpies. Obsession is not strong enough of a word.

These hand towels. Yes.

This is a good reminder.

I know I have already posted about this bracelet. Too bad. It is lovely.

This cutting board would fulfill my OCD tendencies.

Yes, another scarf. I am sort of into this loopy scarf things all of a sudden. This one looks light and versatile enough to sport year round here in the mountains.

What are YOU asking from Santa this year?

I want...

In case anyone is wondering. So lovely.

"dot, dot, dash, dash is YOUR very own monogram on a special morse coded bracelet or necklace." From here.

Junque...

Had about two seconds to junk recently. Went to a new place. It was full of a lot of random farming equipment and old cars. The owner had a cat without a tail and he wore a taser on his belt. I was scared. Then I walked past his trailer (on the property) and noticed this collection of light covers/reflectors. I want them all. I love them. I love this. I won't be going back, but happy for this moment of beauty.

I...I...Ikea...

This evening MCB and I are off to IKEA. It will be a whirlwind shopping trip. A seven hour drive up to Denver tonight after work, shopping tomorrow morning, and then a seven hour drive back to Telluride tomorrow evening. I am exhausted already. It needs to get done though - as the big purchase will be flooring which needs to get installed Sunday.

So, I wanted to give a little sneak peak of a couple of items that will be purchased tomorrow. This is only a small sampling of what MCB is buying. Space saving items are a must as the shed is a mere 491 sq. ft.

We have been up late night every night after work painting away. The disgusting red walls are [finally] gone and it is slowly starting to come together. I promise some before and after photos once things are in a little better shape at the shed. It is going to be amazing though - can't wait to share.

In the meantime - here are some items that will be coming back with us from IKEA tomorrow.

This little locker will make a great TV stand.

I love this lamp. Hotness.

The bedroom is the tiniest bedroom I think I have ever seen in my life. It will hold a bed. Period. So, this little headboard number will at least give MCB some "nightstand-like" shelves. I can't wait to see it installed.

I saw this bed in a NYT article and thought it was genius. MCB's new bedroom is too small to pull drawers or anything like that from the sides. So, this is the best way to store stuff. I cannot wait to see this thing in action. Such a smart idea IKEA.


And this. This will go up in the kitchen. Mostly it will be down I suspect. But, the great part is that when it is down, it creates a little shelf. I think this is where keys and such will tossed.

Hmm - interesting that everything I am posting is white. Weird. I swear there will be color.
You will just have to wait and see.

Don't forget...

Thank you Cathy for the reminder - Missoni for Target tomorrow! 

So many lovely things - check it out here.  

Monday, Monday...

Trying to think happy thoughts this Monday. Top of the list? This scarf. This makes me happy.

Things I Am Loving (Friday Edition)...

Loving this collection of doors.

I just want to sit and be still. Here would be lovely.

I want a collection of Turkish Bath Towels. Badly.

Loving every single piece that sfgirlbybay is taking with her to Paris.
I wish I were cool enough to dress like a Parisian.

I so want this to be true.
[from: that's happy]

I need to spend time at this pool. Or any pool for that matter, but this one is pretty dreamy.

Ridiculously excited for the Tour de France to start this weekend. I am seriously obsessed.

Happy Weekend. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, life has been busy. 2/3 of us Blog Girls are getting together this coming week - I am sure fun posts will follow. YAY!

A Couple of Things...

Today...things I am loving. Like a lot.

Peonies...and in Paris no less. I want a big bouquet now.

So digging on this table. Mad over this.

This purse is swoon worthy.

Want. Badly.

This summer frock rocks.

Happy Weekend!

Friday Faves

As you go about your weekend - remember this.

Yeah, Yeah - reverse image. So lame that I cannot fix this. I am on my work computer - which does not have photo shop. I also do not have my camera. So, this was taken with my web cam in my office and I cannot figure out how to "flip" this image so it reads correctly - c'est la vie. Anyway, I am loving all of my new tape...some purchased in SF recently & more brought home for me unexpectedly from Paris (thanks BK). I made little thank you cards using them - such fun!

Digging these new pendant lights from (of all places) IKEA. I love the way the light seems to get diffused - soft, warm. And, only $8 for the shade...sold.

This little lovely I received as a birthday gift this year. I absolutely adore this radio and the sound is killer. We only have one radio station here in Telluride, but now that I have received this puppy - I have been listening to it non-stop no matter what they are playing.

This is the only "white" I would like to see right now. Instead, we are getting hammered with more snow. Hurry Spring!

Sigh. My computer remains broken - I need to see if I can find a way to get it fixed. Of course, I hope I don't have to replace it as I really don't have the money to spend on a new laptop. In the meantime, my roommate got an iPad. It is awesome. And now, I am thinking if I have to replace my computer - why not just get one of these? I mean, do I really need a full computer at home if I have one at work? It would save me some money. Let's discuss.

And finally, a potential new project? Details to come (when they happen).
