I am off doing a bit of research for a few upcoming historical decor posts that you all seem to like so well. In the meantime, I have left a post of a few of my favorite websites for you to peruse. Let's Go Shopping. Let's Go Shopping First up is Bell'occhio. I have been to this wonderful shop that is located in the heart of one of my favorite cities, San Francisco.

Curbside Creativity Inspired By Spray Paint
Curbside Creativity Inspired By Spray Paint. Once a month we have a bulk curbside pickup in our neighborhood. I'll admit that I stalk other peoples piles of trash. If I see something I like I usually knock on the door and ask if it is ok if I take it. I have never had anyone tell me "No".

Hey, it's not easy ... View the Post

Oh Deer!
Oh, Deer! I love the use of deer in decor. Oh, Deer! I am not referring to the faux deer heads that graced many a wall last year in an effort to be cool and hip. Nor am I speaking about the "welcome to the cabin" look of the antler chandelier. If that is your thing you can go here. No, I am talking about the sweet as saccharin deer. Pure kitsch. Like Deery Lou from Sanrio. Or this darling pillow from Basic French. Now you can't have it everywhere. Just an accent piece ... View the Post
Creating a spa-like feel in your own home
On Sunday, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a fundraising event benefiting the Fresh Start Women's Foundation at the Aji Spa located on the ancient tribal lands of the Gila River Indian Community near Phoenix. I was so inspired to make some changes in my bathroom. This post is about Creating a spa-like feel in your own home. The art and architecture of the spa represent the Pima (Akimel O'otham) and Maricopa (Pee Posh) tribes. It was a beautiful location and the name ... View the Post
