Room Of The Week Aka Proof There Is A Heaven

If you or anyone you know ever question if Heaven exists, or what it looks like (personally I picture a young handsome Jesus wearing a tuxedo shirt and playing a round of poker), I insist you look at this gorgeous room – especially that soft, inviting, don’t-you-just-want-to-fall-back-onto it, cloud-like bed.  The nude-colored candy stripe wallpaper is girly and contrasts – yet completely works with – the cork flooring.  Which, thankfully, prevents the room from looking like an angel just ralphed all over the place.  The billowy, slightly transparent curtains allow *just* enough light into the room but not so much you can’t have your peaceful mid-day nap curled up in the soft cottony covers.

Anthropologie’s currently selling a similar duvet cover, the Georgina Duvet Cover, which is pretty as well, but a bit overwhelming, as it overfloweth in the frou frou girliness department, if ya ask me.

On another note, this week I’ll be thinking of my dear friend and co-blogette Steph and her family, especially her adorable grandmother Ruthie who is especially in our thoughts.  She was the most loving grandma and wife to Bud for 65 (!) years, and she’ll be missed.  Love you Ruthie.

Hearts,

Oh, Glorious Frock! Where art thou?

I ran across this little number over the weekend while I was on a Pinterest bender (you know, with yesterday’s clothes on, ratty hair and drool mixed with spaghetti sauce running down my face, completely unaware of how many days straight I’d been engrossed in that swirly twirly world of inspiration) and fell in L-O-V-E.  I think it MIGHT be the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen…  like a lovely painting with all my favorite colors, sprinkled with a few ruffles, and infused with a vibe that is decidedly 80’s.  I anxiously tried to trace it to its retail origins, but (sniff) to no avail.

Anybody recognize it and know where I could snatch one up?

Merci en avance!
