labor day finds

 I hope you're having a relaxing labor day. I've been spending the long weekend catching up on work and taking advantage of all of the wonderful sales. One item I wish I could be purchasing is this amazing blue dining table from Anthropologie. I've had my eye on this table forever, and now that they have an extra 25% off their home items, it's a complete steal! It would be mine if we hadn't just purchased a new dining table a few months ago. 

I think it would be fabulous styled up with these black and apple green cafe chairs from Crate and Barrel (also on sale!)

If that's a little too much color for you, these tolix style chairs would also look amazing. And you guessed it... they are also on sale this weekend!

belmont hotel staycation

I mentioned our staycation to The Belmont Hotel in my last post, but I wanted to share a little more about this awesome place because I'm constantly being asked where I recommend staying in Dallas. If you are looking for a fun, relaxed vibe close to downtown, then this is definitely a place I'd recommend.

This fabulous bathtub definitely played a huge part in deciding which room we chose.

We also loved that they were incredibly pet friendly so we could bring our dog child with us.

This is a view looking up to the window of our room.

We sat here enjoying some delicious drinks from Bar Belmont,

and taking in this amazing view of the city.

We'll definitely be back, and hopefully next time we'll have a little more time to try out their pool and breakfast!

instagram updates

Wow, I can't believe it's already been a week since I've posted! I've been super busy, and am very happy to say that I'm officially booked for my design services until the end of September. I'm starting a wait list, so if you're interested please contact me!

 I started my classes this week. So far it's been interesting to learn about the technical side of interior design and not just all of the fluffy, pretty stuff (even though that's fun, too!).

I just sold this giant 24" x 36" canvas to go in one lucky person's home. If the person who purchased this is reading the blog... please send a picture! I'd love to see it in your home!

Charlie's birthday was last week, so I couldn't resist adding a little flair to the house. Remember his decorations last year? I didn't do as much this year, but they are so happy I haven't taken them down!

On the night of his birthday we went to a musical downtown and had a little staycation at The Belmont. I'll have a post on the hotel tomorrow!

We were in the mood to stay in for dinner, and didn't want to leave Toby alone just as we got there, so we ordered room service from their restaurant Smoke. We shared the mac n' cheese and bbq fries... total comfort food.

After our staycation we drove up to Norman and I got to visit these two little cuties for the first time. I'm in love!

We also went to two wedding showers for my future in-laws. Love the mixed up china at this tea party shower.

Last but not least, our Summer's End Cocktail was featured as Foodista's drink blog of the day. If you haven't already, make sure you check out the recipe!
