Summer Reading

girl on a beach reading a book
 
I packed a copy of My Paris Dream on our trip to Florida last week and it was the perfect plane to beach read.
 
Now I’m missing the escapism that a good book provides-even more so “post vacation.”.
 
Like many of you, I’m able to devote more time to a good book in the summer months when life slows down a lot around here. 
 
Next up I’ll be reading Secrets Of A Charmed Life, as it came highly recommended by a few friends of mine….what’s on your summer reading list?
 

I’d love to know!PS: A few more great reads here.

 

 
 
 
 

Progress In Florida: Vacation House Decor

Vacation House Decor

Last week we took the family down to Florida for a little get away. In between trips to Universal and a few other fun excursions, we managed to finish up a lot of over due home decor projects.

I had agonized over what to hang over our gray couch in the living room (seen below) for quite some time.

The expansive white wall there is the major focal point of our home’s open living plan. I

‘m so glad that I waited until I found just the right two pieces and didn’t rush to fill up the space with any old thing (as I was tempted to do a few times for the sake of just getting it done).

The take away advice here is that it always pays to wait until something really speaks to you.

Now that the walls are no longer bare, the place is really starting to come together and feel like a home.

Progress Peeks: Our New House

Things are moving along design wise here at the new house, I’ll bring you all up to date (in case you might’ve missed it on Instagram).

Back in January, we were trying to figure out which direction to go with our front stair runner, after many different options (all seen here) and along with the help of Muse Interiors, we finally decided to go in a different route from the original selections and went with “Tacori” by Stark carpet (seen above and below). We all love the way it looks (it even reminds us a little of our old front stair runner, which we also loved).
