Technicolor Dream Home.

I stumbled across an amazing blog a few days back called Everything Style.  If you haven't already been following this blog, I highly suggest you go check it out..RIGHT THIS MINUTE!  The author takes some of the most gorgeous portraits in the most lovely settings.  Swoon.

I just had to share her blog and these photos from her recent post about an incredible home.  I imagine the owners with permanent smiles on their faces, i mean, how could you not be smiling all of time when surrounded by that much COLOR!  It's like BAM!  

 

  
 

Amazing!

Ray and I are going to Nashville this weekend for our friend's record release show.  I cannot wait to get out of town for a few days and soak up a change in scenery.  Woot.

XO.

Clever Clutter!

A part of me has always wanted to just get wild and fill up rooms with clever clutter.  Trinkets and do-hickies and thinga-ma-bobs just hanging out all over the place....  But still maintaining the sense that they are "meant to be where they've been placed".  

However, another part of me, let's just go ahead and call this part "Ray", would never let the never-ending supply of knick-knacks fly.  Which I'm completely o.k. with.  Without his level-headedness, I could end up being a real hit on that "Hoarders" show.  (no offense to anyone who has appeared on "Hoarders")  

Below are some examples of "Clever clutter".  Love these spaces, and love me some STUFF!

Come to think of it, maybe it wouldn't be an issue at all if I cluttered up our apartment with good records and pretty vintage glass bottles.  But my clutter specialty seems to be clothes, clothes, and more clothes.  Ah well.   Who wants some clothes?  : )

So, what do you guys think?  Is clever clutter just too much stuff?  Or just right?

XO.

P.S.  Sorry for the lack of blogdom as of late.  

P.P.S.  This beauty of a dress will be up in the Tessaboo Vintage etsy shop later this evening, along with a number of adorable items that have been posted over the past few weeks.  Sooo..shop 'til you drop!
