{ sweet valentine }

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you'll be celebrating by indulging in something scrumptious and beautiful like this.

Maybe you'll be attending a little, love-filled soiree. I've been dreaming of hosting a playdate that looks just like this. Maybe next year :)Perhaps you'll receive a handmade gift. We created little buckets filled with treats, including these fun flower lollies, for all our friends.

However you spend the day, be sure to give lots of hugs and kisses to the ones you love!

{ beyond basic bunk beds }

Well, these are not the kind of bunk beds I remember from my childhood! I adore all of these creative built-in options. These are all such a brilliant use of space.

{ loving lucite }

LOOK what I found at Marshall's! How cool is this lucite and chrome folding chair? I got it for a steal too. I'm kinda excited about it :)*via polkadotsandpuppies

{ alone is awesome }

I am so rarely alone, that I sometimes even forget what it's like. But I do remember liking it quite a lot....well, most times. This video is so poignant and beautiful. I really enjoyed it. I hope you do too.

{ bow wow birthday }

Happy birthday to our sweet, furry friend, Georgia! We love you and feel so blessed to have you in our family.
It seems like just yesterday you were a wee puppy.

On the agenda this evening for our darling girl: a trip to PetSmart for a special toy followed by a celebratory doggie sundae. Kisses, Georgia!

This lovely image is just bursting with the feeling of Spring! Who's ready for sundress weather, fresh-picked flowers, and lazy bike rides? *Raises both hands* :)*via pink and green owl

{ killer kitchen }

I don't think I'll ever tire of looking at these images from HGTV's 2008 Green Home kitchen. I love every detail, and I think I would sell my soul to have this space in my home. Can you spy that well-organized, beautiful pantry through the doorway?How lovely are those glass front cabinets? Of course, my dishes would never look as pretty as this.

I love the look of lamps in a kitchen. It evokes such a cozy vibe.

Check out those black indoor/outdoor chairs mixed with white slipcovered chairs, and fluffy houndstooth cushions. Love the expert mix of texture and color here. All those pops of green make me ever so happy.

Do you drool over images of spaces that you've long adored? Do tell.
