chic wedding lanterns

photo and lanterns: West Elm

Loving these modern lanterns from West Elm. I can see them at a chic, modern WHITE + COBALT poolside (cabanas!) affair. Perhaps the bride wears a cotton eyelet gown ... and everyone sips mojitos ... and the band plays sweet samba rhythms ... and the air is warm and the stars are bright ... and waiters serve ice cream sandwiches at midnight.

lighting

One of these lights is $24.99 at Ikea; the other is $375 at The Conran Shop.

I spotted these Dwell Studio pillows at ICFF last month ... and I was at Target yesterday and spotted them again. I am loving the grey/yellow combo (and the Target price).

sweet dreams

bed frame: brocade home

I'd love this Brocade bed frame for our guest room/boudoir/closet room. After living in our house for 4 years it is finally time to start "decorating." Our bedroom doesn't have a closet (long story), so we converted the guest room into a "closet room." It works for us, but when guests come they have to sleep amidst clothes racks on my childhood twin bed. First, we need to build armoires to hide all our clothes ... but next step will be a darling bed like this.

happy birthday to me

bathmat: anthropologie

For my birthday this year my mom, dad and mémé pitched in to redecorate my bathroom while I was in NYC with J for NSS. My favorite part is that it was a complete surprise. My second favorite part is this wonderful bathmat from anthropologie.
