Nursery of the Week: Pink and patterned

This is a good example of what to do when you have doors in the nursery. Just add some drapes so that they appear to be a window but remain functional.

These curtains are the perfect mix of bohemian but the fancy pleating ups the ante.

Kind of behind the 8 ball this week. You Tube and Jimmy Fallon have disabled the embed function on the video I wanted to post. So now you have to go all the way to You Tube to watch it - how rude. We like to watch this almost every Friday to kick off the weekend. Here.

How to decorate a bedroom for a boy

We get asked that question a lot! It seems to fluster people pretty easily, especially to find something that transitions well. These are really simple rooms just a few special elements like molding on the wall to create interest, grass cloth wallpaper and painted woodwork and the rest of the room is a bright color and clean, hardly any pattern or interference.

Bugaboo for Missoni

Check it! A GREAT designer collaboration - Missoni designed a line for Bugaboo strollers.

This is my pick.

I die because Rachel Zoe has one.

For the win!

Usually, I can't resist blasts of color but this TOTALLY works for me. Grey paint, natural wood, great artwork, black/white accents, and furniture that is classic and not fussy.

For $20

I nearly stroke out every time I go to the gas pump$$$, the grocery store$$ or "out for lunch"$ these days. So much so that getting something for $20 these days feels like stealing, but there is stuff out there. Here are my $20 finds.

This orchid was $10 at the grocery store - and it will last for at least 2 or 3 months.

This shell bowl thingy was $18.99

I'm using it as a cachepot for my orchid

Monogrammed pillowcases $17.99

Netflix subscription - a must have now that summer TV has arrived which is beyond terrible.

A new $20 cowboy hat from Dallas.
Hooray for $20 and for the weekend!
