J'Adore Decor

I've had this insane itch lately to redecorate our house. As in, every room in our house. So, I've been scouring design blogs like crazy. 

Side note, I'm so sick of that stupid chevron pattern. Sorry, I'm not sorry. If you like it, more power to ya. Moving on...

Anyway, over the weekend I found myself sitting at my computer searching for inspiration. And, oh man, did I find it. I clicked over to Glitter Guide, and somehow stumbled onto an article about Nicolette Mason, who has so much style! Not only is she amazing, she's got insanely good taste in clothes, and even better taste in home decor! (And she's pretty much living my dream life!) The girl has got an awesome place. Awwwwwesoooome. Wanna see?

Friday Lovelies

Y'all, Friday is trying to kill me. Or just irritate me to the point of tears. Same difference.

I have been so swamped this week, and I expected to get a break today, since most of our Fridays at work are slow, but that's not the case today. So, I'm blogging on my (very late) lunch break.

We've been working away on our Summer Bucket List, and I was going to share some photos today, but the Friday curse struck again, and my photos aren't uploading to the computer for some reason.

Whomp, whomp.

So, instead, I figured I'd share a some lovely things I've found (or wanted!) lately, how's that?

I've been wanting new bedding for the longest time now, and One Kings Lane is having a fantastic bedding sale right now!! I will take one to two of each of the following please.

Hello, gorgeous, where have you been all of my life?

I'll take this in a king size, please and thank you.

One of these for the end of the bed.

I don't know why, but I think these are just so lovely.

Please email me for my address after you've purchased them. My anniversary is in a 9 days, so I'd get busy on that! Y'all are going to buy me these things, right??

I came across a tutorial for making a tshirt into a cardigan over at Brassy Apple, and now I need to learn to sew. Can one of you teach me?

Adorable, right? Kaysi from Keeping It Simple made it. Girl's got skills.

*****

Kimmie from Sugar and Dots made over her kitchen and dining room.

And I'm in love. I wonder if I could pay her to come make mine over?

And last, but certainly not least: my favorite lovely of the week!! I've got the button for the link up that Amanda and I are hosting next week!!

Texas Tuesday, y'all!!

Are you linking up? It's not just for Texans, but it does need to be Texas related. We're so excited to start this with y'all! The link up will be open early Tuesday morning, and we'll keep it open at least until Wednesday to make sure everyone has the chance to link up! Write your post, grab the button, and come back here (or Amanda's blog!) to link up. Remember, you can write about anything Texas related. Music, food, fashion, places, events, anything your heart desires! I can't wait to read everyone's posts!!

OK, my lovelies, I've got to get back to actually doing work. Have a fantastic weekend!

Sparkley and Bright

The Christmas season is in full effect in the M house! We are decking our halls and knocking back the peppermint hot chocolates.

B is putting the lights on the house today, and I'm putting the finishing touches on our indoor decor. Now, if you remember a few weeks ago, I was talking about decorating our tree with a peacock theme. I have since changed my mind a million and one times. I've considered doing red and aqua, then back to the peacock theme, then red and lime green, then red and gold, and now I'm thinking of doing a western theme, since our dining room (where the tree is) is decorated in chili peppers.

What's a girl to do when she can't make up her mind and needs some inspiration?

Hit up the Pinterest, of course!!

Here's a few lovely things I found:

and last, but not least, the peacock tree

But, after searching for hours, I'm still not sure how I want to decorate our tree.

Tell me your favorite, and maybe it'll help me choose?
