I am having so much fun this summer with our two little men.
Enjoying every minute with them and trying
to capture every moment, as it goes by so quickly…
I hope you are all having a beautiful, fun summer with
your friends and families!!
Have a wonderful day.
Be back soon.
Ciao,

Thank you Houzz.com for featuring my son, Dustin’s room in your
recent feature of I Spy Barn Stars!
These images were taken last fall, see the pumpkins. :))
His room has since changed and I will try and re-shoot it again for those
of you who have already seen these.
While the stars gained popularity outdoors, they have been brought inside as well.
Barn stars were supposed to bring good fortune,
offer protection against fires, hope, love, fertility, energy and harmony.
Seems like a good
symbol to put next to the bed (via houzz)
These images where taken with my old Nikon.
I have upgraded to a Canon and I LOVE IT.
It is inspiring to see how much you can grow creatively from your blog, and
how so much can change. I think that is one of the things I love most about
blogging.
I use this old cabinet as storage for all of his books.
I decorated using vintage toys. He enjoys them and plays with
them often.
My husband installed the wainscoting half way up the wall
and we painted the rest of it
with a warm grey.
I love the old milk glass lamp, it has a key on the switch which
he has fun turning on and off.
I will be posting more often in the next couple of weeks,
so be sure and check back with us!!!
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a wonderful day.

I have scouted out some fun locations to take pictures of them.
Can’t wait…

Fifi is everywhere these days!
Currently, Fifi is busy
traveling, producing photo shoots for her next book and many
different publications. Her recent stop here in Agoura Hills, was for a
book signing of her beautiful new book
Romantic Prairie Style, and a visit with me. There is nothing this woman can’t do!
The book signing turned out wonderful. We all had so much fun
visiting with her. Thank you Fifi for such a great time!
A Beautiful Mess had a wonderful display of wine, cheese and desserts! Yum!!
What a gorgeous spread!
Hmm, what should I have…???
Paris anyone??
The wonderful, talented Sunday Hendrickson made a debut
as well. She is a riot!!! Love you!
Kymberley Fraser owner of A Beautiful Mess
and a dear friend.
As many of you know Fifi is so funny to be around, very real
and smart, it is so refreshing.
…and these are the girls from A Beautiful Mess who
rocked this event! All of these woman are so talented and beautiful.
Many of them are coming out with new projects that I hope to soon share with you.
Thank you girls!
I also had the pleasure of meeting Mark Lohman photographer at large.
Check out his website here.
He and Fifi graced our home this past week for a photo shoot (more on that later, I am so excited)!
Mark is funny and talented he even shared a few photography tips with me, how cool is that???
Fifi and Mark’s teamwork is exceptional.
We are honored.
(all images by me)
What a fun week, lots of love, laughter and talent!
More to come…
Have a wonderful weekend and for those locals
Don’t forget to STAY off the 405! Carmageddon is here! LOL
Hi everyone!
Luke is already 4 weeks old and I am trying to get on a regular schedule again.
Here’s to trying!!!
The reason I have been absent from blogging these past few months is because I have been working on
several projects that I will soon be able to share. I literally worked up until I had Luke.
Maritha Sears from Design Shuffle contacted me, and I was honored when she offered to do
an amazing guest post for us. Thank you Joanna for writing such a fun post. So, here we go…enjoy
Kitchens We'd Love to Cook In
Inspired by all the gorgeous veggies and fruits at our local farmer's market, we've been in a cooking and baking frenzy lately. When not cooking or baking, we've been looking at pictures of kitchens and imagining cooking and baking in them. These are some of our recent favorites. Hope they inspire you with many kitchen design ideas for your own kitchen!
1 Corea Sotropa
http://coreasotropa.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/kitchen-island-lighting/
Two words: double islands. Love all the counter space, the black bases on the islands, the lighting, and the professional stove. A beautiful kitchen!
2 Brandon Barre
http://www.brandonbarre.com/interiordesign2.php
We want to cook and eat and work in this kitchen. The golden yellow in the backsplash against all that gorgeous white cabinetry—gorgeous. The table connected to the island is a clever solution to add seating and counter space in the kitchen.
3 House of Decoration
http://houseofdecoration.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/kitchen-cabinets-make-your-kitchen-more-special/
Love the dark cabinets, especially the large one with glass front doors. It feels like an antique. Like the combination of dark cabinets and light counters too.
4 Elle Decor
This looks like a real chef’s kitchen. Love the mix of high end appliances and antiques, and the butcher block table. Pine floors give the room a warm, inviting feeling.
5 The Dream House Project
http://www.apartmentqz11.com/2011/02/my-dream-kitchen.html
Another gorgeous white kitchen. The dark floors and dark counters add a touch of drama. Pale grey walls make all the white really standout. Great layout to this kitchen design. This dream kitchen inspires a multitude of great decorating ideas.
6 Country Living
http://www.countryliving.com/homes/home-maintenance/kitchen-pantries-1106
This might only be a pantry but it makes us want to whip something delicious up! This is the most beautiful pantry ever. Love the chalkboard on the door too—great for making lists or posting a recipe.
7 Que Sera Sera
http://nikkidz.blogspot.com/2009/05/marry-me-ikea.html
Okay, this isn't the whole kitchen but just this corner makes us want coffee. Love the grey cabinets and double knob drawers below. This is one of Martha Stewart's beautiful kitchens.
8 ElleDecor
http://lookbook.elledecor.com/Kitchen-Contemporary-A-Hamptons-Home-Reborn/id1007
This Hamptons’ kitchen designed by Steven Gambrel is open and airy. Love the French doors that open onto the garden. The checkerboard floor is beautiful.

I will be back soon.
Thank you for stopping by!
Yay, it’s finally here!
Fifi O’Neill will be at A Beautiful Mess June 5 th, 5-8 p.m!!!
I will take some picture’s to share this wonderful little event.
I am so excited to visit with her and Mark Lohman this week!
I wanted to thank everyone for their wonderful emails, calls,
and comments about Luke. It was so sweet! Thank you.
I have some fun things to show you in the upcoming weeks!!!
Be sure and check back with us.
Have a wonderful day!!!
