My sister was home this past week and it was fabulous. While she was home she threw together a shower for her BFF. I was a guest and couldn't stop myself from snapping pictures with my iPhone. Excuse their quality. The beverage table was darling. There was a gorgeous coral bucket full of wine on ice and another one full of mini bottled waters. Cute little wine glasses were set out and adorable mason jars with fun straws. I just love these colors. Pinks, ...

Dollhouse Bookshelf
While perusing the aisles of Target with the in-laws we stumbled on this adorable little bookshelf/dollhouse. It was on clearance. I was in love. Instantly I had visions of Eleanor sitting in front of it playing with her dollies. In the meantime, I knew it would be a great place for books and other fun goodies.

Materials Needed: - Craft Foam (colors depend on what you are making) - Pattern: The husband ...
Living With Our Credenza
The credenza we inherited (more on that here) is growing on me. At first I was so sure I needed to paint it, to change it. This might happen, but I am surprised what adding a few baskets and a lamp has done to the overall look. We still plan to change the hardware, but it turns out the hardware is an odd size and kind of hard to find. We are throwing around the idea of spray painting the existing hardware. This lamp is one my husband has loved for a long time. We have seen this ...
