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?

Pretty Paper

If you know anything about me, you know I love pretty things. Clothing, artwork, decor, stationary, if it's pretty, I adore it. I fall completely head over heels in love with it. I obsess about it, really. So, when I stumbled on Minted, I was in heaven. How have I never heard of them!? 

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.

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

Monday Funday Not So Much

Y'all? I cannot get my act together. I've been saying I was going to wrap up my February Photo a Day Challenge photos for like, a month now, and I still haven't done it. They're coming your way soon, I swear. I even started the March challenge, but haven't posted any yet. I've also fallen behind on my Saturday Sensationals, and haven't responded to any comments. Jeeze, J, get on the ball! (BTW, if you've commented lately, and I haven't answered, I swear I'm not a jerk! I love each and every one of my comments, but most of the time I read the comment when it dings on my phone, and I forget to respond. I'm so sorry, don't leave hate me!)
Anyprocrastination, it's been a lazy day around here today, primarily because M is sick. I hate it when she feels bad, obviously, but it's kind of sweet because she's a big ol' ball of cuddles when she doesn't feel well. Momma's baby, FTW!
So, when I wasn't cuddling a sick toddler, I was cleaning house doing laundry perusing the interwebs. Because that's obviously the responsible, adult thing to do, right? Right. Anywhoodles, I probably should have been at least doing something productive, like filing my taxes, but instead I was online window shopping!! Wanna see what I'm lusting after? Of course you do!! First up, there's clothes. Now, it's rodeo time here in my part of Texas, so my brain has been on all things western.

I'm thinking either one of these with a big belt, to die for boots, and lots of blingy jewelry.

I also found this, which I absolutely love. Paired with black dress capris and shrug, it's a perfect outfit for me to wear to church or work.

And, obviously, I absolutely need this. Obviously.

In sticking with all things Texan/Western/Southern/Adorable, I also found these bad boys, which will be mine, very, very, very soon.

I also fell in love with this little pretties, but sadly, they aren't available anymore.

I swear, my sweets, I will find you soon. If it's the last thing I do, I will find you.

Hope all of you had fabulous weekends and even better Mondays! (Gigglesnort)
