Please Accept This Rose

Hello, my Valentines! I am trapped under 6 feet of snow, but I wanted to wish all of you a Happy Valentines Day.

Now let's remember, we are all capable of making our own V-Day dreams come true. I have been married for more that two decades, and would never expect my husband to get it right. I will thank him profusely for whatever gestures he adorns me with.....and then, I will be taking advantage of the

1. Bloomingdale's Brown Bag Sale.

2. Nordstrom's 40% off clearance sale

3. Loft 40% off sale.

And we will remain happily married for another two decades, or more.

Now, would you please accept this rose?

After I do my internet binge shopping, I will be binge watching this

I love and appreciate all of your continued support. Now go do something nice for yourself.....whatever that entails.

Stay warm!

Let's Go To Hollywood

I know you love to look inside of homes as much as I do. In fact, I am at a disadvantage.... I have shown you my home and I feel like you should be sending me pictures of your home. Is that weird?

I found a really cool home in the Hollywood Hills for us to stalk. I decided to go to the West Coast because unlike us, they are not expecting 72 inches of snow tomorrow. If you are one of the few lucky people to own a salt manufacturing company...Congratulations, this is your year! It looks like you will be getting the new kitchen you have been dreaming of.

Back to the Hills. This home was designed by Ryan White. I found him on Open House NY. My daughter and I think he is so darn cute.

You can find the twisted art here.

Do you have a favorite object? I love the turquoise convex mirror.

Stay warm.

Tulips

How are all of you? Please tell me that one of us is sitting on a warm sunny beach? This weather is really getting to me...more snow last night. I know, most of you are sick of it, too. I'm thinking of tulips, and tulips make me think of spring.

My open letter to Spring....

Dear Spring, It's been a long time. I don't care what that oversized rodent saw...shadow....no shadow...you need to come NOW!

And now for the happy news..

The winner of the Pajama Giveaway..

Congratulations Jennifer @ The Pink Pagoda!

I'm sure your pajamas will be pink.

This is really funny because I met Jennifer by winning one of her giveaways over two years ago. It's a full circle moment.

And speaking of circles, where are you Mr. Sun?

Small Spaces With Garrison Hullinger

I was recently introduced to the work of designer Garrison Hullinger . If the name sounds familiar to you, perhaps you heard about their giveaway Albertina wrote about, yesterday?

Garrison and his team are based in Portland, Oregon. They are young and hip.....exactly what you would want for your original design. I planned on posting pictures of their work, but when I ran across this video featuring Garrison.....I had to share.

Check out how he designed this tiny space and utilized every inch of it.

Don't you love learning how a designer thinks when they approach a space?

Garrison's Design Team was selected to update the interiors of the Waterfront Pearl Complex.

Check out the Chow leg on the coffee table. So cool.

If you want to see more of Garrison's work, you can view his portfolio here.

To read about the giveaway, visit Mimosa Lane. My friends from Rejuvenation are involved. They have great products and I still love my custom light fixture!

Portland is such a beautiful city....it makes me think of coffee.

Pajama or Robe Giveaway

This is a busy Monday!

I have an exciting giveaway for you and I am also at the Pink Pagoda's Blue and White Bash. Do you remember when I wrote about the pretty pajamas? Well the people at Malbar Bay noticed and asked me if I would like to host a giveaway.

Since one of you mentioned that you don't sleep in pajamas (HBD), you can win a pair of pajamas or a robe.
