I AM ALIVE

...and so is this blog.  Wow, that was an embarrassing gap between posts.  You see, life has been crayzay (in a good way) and this little blog just had to take a backseat for a while.  You'll be happy to know that I am re-insp-iah-ed and ready to blog my happy little heart out.  My hubby is in San Antonio for a WHOLE WEEK (I am dying & it's only Monday) so I plan to do a lot of writing to keep me busy and my mind preoccupied. 

I saw this room in the preview of the Lonny March/April 2012 issue and...{be right back, must fill up my wine glass}.....

OK replenished.  LOOK AT THAT BED.  Just look at it.  I am speechless-- Ikat headboard? Pretty red, pink, blue flower shams? Funky yet girly.  I hope Brett loves it because that is TOTALLY happening in some form or the other. 

If you want to copy this look and make me really jealous here ya go:

Blue Ikat Headboard
Obv this isn't the exact same, but trust me it's WAY cheaper than the Quadrille fabric upholstered to the lovely biscuit in the pic.

Floral Pillows
Beeee-utiful.  Pricey esp since you have to get 2, but oh so pretty.  I haven't yet to find a good copy cat, but if you know of any pleaseeee direct me to them.


ALSO. Please hop on over to my friends' lovely blogs on design/fashion/life when you get a chance- they inspire me and their posts are amazing! I spend countless hours at work (shhh) perusing their ideas.  Ch-ch-ch-check it out, y'all.

FEELINGS

Lately I haven't known what to blog about. I feel torn all sorts of ways. I asked Brett if he wanted another baby (NO OMG WHAT NEVER). I struggled with Bowen's test at Texas Children's. I struggle telling people that she won't go to the school her siblings go to. How do you explain that? We get the results of her test tomorrow and I'm terrified. I feel like life isn't normal? I don't know if that makes sense? But like we are in another life almost on a continuum. I feel like I need to make more mom friends. All. The. Time.  I feel like we need to travel more. I always feel the need for MORE. Why can't I be happy with what we have now? We are moving back to Meyerland this week. I am happy to have a backyard. Happy to have bedrooms for the kids. Happy to be HOME. But I also feel like sad we don't live where the kids friends live? Is that weird? Probably. The reason I called this blog feelings is because that's what it is. Sometimes I wr

SCONCES & SUCH

Let's take a quick look at the bathroom shall we? Subway tile = good, real gooooood. And we made a startling discovery when we ripped up the bathroom floor..... Awesome white vintage tile....seriously- why would you ever cover that up?! Unfortunately we couldn't salvage it since the previous owner had damaged a lot of them or we def would have! That's all the pics I have for you today since everything else is taped off in preparation for wallpaper install. SO let's begin with some random thoughts. I want  this sweater: I shall be adding this to the new shop : minty fresh In exactly two short months, we'll be here: Sconces were decided on for said bath thanks to Amber's blog : Hmmm, I think that's about it. Oh yeah and diets still suck. Have a lovely Monday. xoxo ryann
