A Few Fun Finds

Ponder this masterpiece:     This room by Jamie Meares of Furbish inspired me to start a new series, ROOM ON A BUDGET .  I take rooms me spectacles are particulary attracted to and try to recreate them in a more $$$ friendly way.  Or at least try my bestest.  My first attempt:     Paint ze walls red.  Any dark shade by Sherwin Williams will do. Curtains: from IKEA for $50 paired with roman shades from Overstock for $30. White Upholstered Headboard : $270 Custom pillows by MISS BLUEBONNET: inquire for pricing. Nightstand: again from IKEA for... TEN DOLLARS . Yes your eyes read that right. Furbish lamp : this is a splurge for the room & can definitely be replaced. But I just love this lamp. Ginger jar: MISS BLUEBONNET Moroccan pouf: on eBay ranging from $30 to $100 Rug: Home Decorators for $399-- STEAL for a rug. That is an amazing price and apparently is really soft/sturdy. Cow rug: These...

...redo our living room right now (which we all know I can't), then it would look something like this: Ahh, neutral heaven.  Can someone make this come happen, along with our nursery & master bedroom? xoxo, ryann

JUST BECAUSE I'M IN A GOOD MOOD.  And the dogs are not entertaining me. I want our console to look like this......   Please and thank you.

Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? I've never been so happy to see dressing, cranberries (CANNED ONLY PLEASE), potatoes, and everything else I devoured.  I'm already counting down until Christmas so I can eat it all over again.  Or I could just go to Luby's. This week I've seen all the bloggers create "gift guides" which I do love looking at, but then I'm all like-- who actually buys this stuff? I need a $150 monogrammed scarf like I need a hole in my head.  Ok that's a little dramatic.  But you know what I'm saying?? That being said of course I decided to do one myself.  Mostly because I really felt like blogging today. But also because I am basing my list on things I actually own/swear by/have asked for myself for Christmas.  And that makes it ok right? birch box - monthly subscription for $10.  get the latest beauty samples. i so wish i would have thought of this. best candle ever - volcano from anthro. your house will ne...

Over the last 5 months, I've been SCOURING the internet for the best advice on mom and baby essentials. Thanks to helpful websites, blogs, and most of all the advice of family and friends, I think we've finally decided on what we want to get for our little man. I know every baby is different and likes different things, but I want to be as prepared and educated as possible! SO I decided to put together some essentials that I'm planning on getting slash already have-- of course the title of this post has a big "?" because he isn't here just yet. But hopefully this helps someone else out there with so many overwhelming choices!   THE BOB  / Baby Bjorn Travel Crib / aiden + anais blankets / Marc Jacobs diaper bag / MamaRoo / Kimono style onesie / Wubbanub / Snap N Go stroller / Baby Bjorn Sitter / Toy attachment for BB Sitter     Obviously there is more but just wanted to start out with a few that I definitely plan on stocking up on!...

If you haven't seen FB, Twitter, or every other social media site I've blasted the news on...then I am BEYOND excited to tell you we are expecting a baby BOY  in March! We are so blessed and happy for such an amazing gift. And the most important part is that he is super healthy, perfect, and apparently an active little man :)  Thanks to everyone who has shared in our excitement these past few weeks!   I'm pretty sure that this blog is now shifting towards baby geared stuff since that is what our lives revolve around now.  There will still be some decor but mostly my experiences and little man of course :)  These are some thangs that have gotten me through pregnancy so far. Dear TOM thank the lawd for you or else my feet would have died.  I think I've worn TOMS every day since we found out I was pregnant.  Ok and maybe every day before that. I've also lived/slept/breathed in Target v-necks in every color.  For d...
