Market continued...

My recap from market would not be complete without sharing some of my favorites from the tabletop too! I stumbled upon Holly Stuart Designs on my last day in Atlanta and am so glad I did! I just love her beautiful placemats that are stylish yet elegant. To see her full collection click here...

I'm pretty obsessed with gold accents these days, so when I spotted Cacharel China, I definitely got excited! This collection just screams party to me!

When I say I am obsessed with gold right now, I'm serious...I have an addiction. This platter (and let's not forget the spreaders) from Canvas had me at hello...

If you need a particular color of candle, then I'm pretty sure Creative Candles will have you covered. They even have a new metallic line (yes, I was looking for gold candles!). From tapers, to pillars and even candle balls, Creative Candles is the perfect party source.

The countdown to July market begins! :)

A few things from Market....

I recently got back from a quick trip over to market in Atlanta...one of my favorite January excursions. I always love going to market to see what's new for the tabletop.... and the home. I've been working on a redesign for my den lately so of course I was excited to get to market for some inspiration! On the first day I stumbled upon a new up and coming high-end pillow designer and just have to share her fabulous designs with you. If you haven't heard of Piper, you must check it out here! My favorites are....

It wasn't just pillows I feel in love with at market. I also flipped head over heels for Regina Andrew's fabulous concrete and brass lamp. Oh how I wish a pair were sitting in my den right now....

Last, but definitely not least, I found myself drawn to Gabby Home's showroom. I love the European, antique style of the furniture. Here are a few pieces that caught my eye...

I'm already itching to get back to Atlanta for market in July!

Emerald For the Table

With Emerald as the new color for 2013, I've been searching for inspiration on ways to incorporate it into a tablescape. I'm loving these three different ways to pair emerald with different textures, patterns and bold color.

Emerald...

It is hard to believe that I've been away from my blog for 2 months...I'm wondering if there is still anyone out there reading? I made a New Year's Resolution to myself this year that I would be better about blogging, and so far 8 days have elapsed without a post. Do you ever wish there were more hours in the day?? I find myself thinking that constantly! Lately, I've been inspired by Pantone's color of the year....Emerald. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this color and its various shades. Here are a few of my favorite color boards incorporating this fabulous hue....

What do you think about the new color of the year??

2 Years...

 It is hard to believe that today my hubby and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary! Thinking back on the memories of our wedding day, I am transported to the most perfect fairytale. I would totally go back and relive that day a million times over if I could :)! We've had some pretty amazing adventures these first two years that I can't wait to see what is in store for us next!

Hello October!

Well, I'm not quite too sure where September went?! It apparently flew by so quickly that I couldn't even get one single little post up on the blog. I have to say most of my time these days has been sucked up by Pinterest and Instagram, well and my full time job of styling parties for Celebrate magazine. I'm so glad that October is here for a couple of reasons....1. I LOVE fall! and more importantly fall entertaining, and 2. I am SO ready for cooler weather to get here. Before the cold weather sets in, I love to spend time out doors as much as possible. Always on the lookout for outdoor entertaining ideas, I couldn't help but fall head over heels for this gorgeous fall tablescape I spied over on Style Me Pretty. Hop on over there for the full gallery of images from this fabulous photo shoot!

Washi Tape

Lately I've become obsessed with washi tape. I love how it provides an easy way to spice up some ordinary items....

I think I might have to try this last idea of decorating different glass vessels...what is your favorite?
