Inspiration...

Feast your eyes on this...boom!

You guessed it - more open shelving yumminess. I know, this is getting ridiculous.

I mean - those shelves are awesome unto themselves, but look at those counters! I have butcher block counters at home & love them. These are even better though - rich, warm, beautiful.
They remind me of a boat.

Once an RA...

...always an RA (as in Resident Advisor).  
I decorated my door at work complete with a take-home art project for students. 

I am a geek (or I was bored at work). 

 

Tiny Dancer

Elton John is singing Tiny Dancer on my Pandora Radio at work right now. 

Made me think of you two.  

Happy Dancing and Happy Friday!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Have you all started? I haven't even thought about it. Oops.

Help me...

...pick out a couch or two.  Living room remodel in full effect.  Scott told me to "ask the girls" their opinions.  My perspective - get comfy sectional couch that still looks good.  Scott's perspective - more sleek and modern with 2 couches.  We are turning the living room a different direction and will have more room to accommodate sectional or 2 couches.  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Help.  

Sectionals: 

 [I like all the colors under "Cotton Basketweave" @ West Elm]

[orange sectional - sort of like the color scheme we have now @CB2]

Couches:

2 couches instead of sectional could include 1 that is like a traditional couch and one that is more like a chaise lounge or flat part of a sectional?  See some of the options below: 

 [My lame attempt at trying to add 2 couches to one picture- above - Draper couch @ CB2, and orange sectional part @CB2 - below Draper couch again in diff. color and green daybed @ CB2 ]

Thoughts? There are more couches we have talked about - but all sort of look like the posted listed here...
