All Out of Notepad with Magnet for $6.95
And when I say random, I really do mean random! A lot of the items come from a petite Parisian department store, McMaster & Storm that I just discovered yesterday so I had to share with you all what I am fancying now (as if the list ever stops growing!).
Plus, I haven't done a post like this in awhile where I dish out any new finds to you all. And another reason for doing a post like this is that I actually got a request from someone, so hopefully these kinds of post won't be far and few between like that have been.
And for all of you folks on the east coast, stay warm and safe!

Our Powder Room which desperately needed some color.
{Calypso, Ralph Lauren Paints}
Okay people, I know I have been a bit neglectful with writing and posting but I had a really good reason. My best friends and I had a girls' weekend since our good friend, Alicia, was visiting from Georgia. We split the time between DC and Annapolis and well, you guys know me, I only clean when I have company over. I also do home improvements when company comes over so I decided to paint the powder room and the guest bathroom before the girls' arrival.
Unfortunately, and I should've thought of this before I started anything in both bathrooms, I do not have any 'Before' shots of either bathrooms so you'll just have to envision how colorless they looked before I attacked them with paint brushes.
The Powder Room
I was overly ambitious in what I wanted to achieve before the girls came over and I'll tell you why. I really wanted some sort of chair rail in there, but alas Home Depot let me down (they don't cut molding for you). I do not own any type of saw let alone a power saw so the chair rail idea had to go out the window until I could get my dad's help on it (he was out of town that whole week).
So without the chair rail, I decided to go ahead and paint the room as if I had the chair rail. I figured I would add it in a few weeks so I might as well paint the room the way it would be with it up there. And so, Voilà! *
The Guest Bathroom
Normally I have an idea of what color I want to have up on the walls in a particular room, but for the guest bathroom I was a bit stuck. But then I went to Pottery Barn a few weeks ago and found the most perfect shower curtain ever. It's the Bethany Shower Curtain and has most of my favorite colors all in this gorgeously feminine palampore design. I knew that I wanted the color of the walls to really play up the shower curtain so I went with a light khaki color.
I would tell you the name of the color, but honestly I don't know what it is. Long story short, it's a custom color from Home Depot and I'd be more than happy to share the formula with you all, just let me know. One thing I can tell you for certain is that I will not be using Glidden paints again. I did use Glidden for this bathroom and although it did turn out alright, I noticed several places where the paint was lifted along with the blue tape that I used and that NEVER happens when I paint. I would recommend Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or Ralph Lauren and if not then go with Behr. Behr is great but I can tell a difference with the application of it compared to the other 3.
We moved the mirror that was downstairs above the fireplace up to this bathroom since I didn't like the look of the giant frameless stock mirror that came with the house.
Had to add some artwork in this bathroom since there's a lot of wall space, plus the fuchsia frame really brings out the pinks in the shower curtain.
Now, all I need to do is replace the light fixture and possibly add another towel rack/ring and this room will be 100% done!
*The chair rail will be added at some point this weekend.
A frame makes a world of a difference. It just really gives such a finished/polished look.
Finally up on the huge blank wall in our living room.

I don't have a kid yet, but if I did this is the kind of room I would want them to have.
Flowers make such a difference to tabletops. 
This is what I call a perfect summer house dining room.
That gorgeous dark blue chair with the piping is perfect for our house.
I never would've thought to get a book shelf in that lovely airy blue. I might have to copy that someday.
