Spring is in the air, can you smell it? After weeks and weeks of rain we finally got a sunny day in Sausalito. Who knew the sun could feel so darn good...
We just got an email from our silk flowers vendor today and we have to show you their new stuff. It's gorgeous and it's a great way to bring spring inside your home all the time.
Don't forget, silk flowers are kinda like perfume. You CAN NOT get the cheap stuff! It has to be upscale or you better off not having nothing at all.
Take a look at these...
Aren't these beautiful? We'll be loading them up in our luxury silk flowers section soon, so please check back in a couple of days...
Favorite Thing-Marble Kitchen Island
We just came accross this modern kitchen island the other day and we just love it. It's so versatile. You can use it as an island or a kitchen counter or a dining counter or extra shelving unit. Plus it goes so well with the new modern, white marble kitchen that is all the rage right now.
It's priced at $2700 including shipping and you can find it here.

How to Make Up Kitchen Room
Crafty Secrets and Eclectic Paperie (Shabby) blog hop

Good Morning All! Wow it has been such a long while since I have posted something here in blog-world. I have been so busy with work and personal life that I needed to take a break for a spell. Thank heavens spring break is on the horizon so I can relax my mind and sip margarita while snuggled up with my husband's Kindle. I sort of feel guilty about this birthday present that I stole from him...but he seems to be content with all the magic his phone has to offer. Boys and their gadgets!

Today I have a special post and event to share with you. The design team girls from Crafty Secrets have teamed up with the lovely ladies from Eclectic Paperie for a fun filled blog hop! The theme for this hop is "Shabby Chic". I decided to use the Wonderland Tea Party Scraps to show you a different 12x12 layout idea. This little lady is a student at the school where I work. She was an adorable Alice for Halloween and a perfect model for the focal point of this layout.

I decided to use the scrap of Alice with her elongated neck since it off-set my photograph. I then made a pocket behind the mat where I tucked a scrap turned into a tag/journaling spot. The little cutout ticket was my final touch of Crafty Secrets. The paper I used is from Pink Paislee - love its shabbiness! I always love adding flower embellishments to all of my designs. Sometimes I probably go overboard, but I just love the dimension and "pop" they give my pieces - I can't help myself! I vintage piece of handmade lace I found at a flea market adds more textured shabbiness to this layout.
Both Eclectic Paperie and Crafty Secrets will be giving away prizes. A total of six prizes all together! You can find out more about the prizes on the Heartwarming Vintage and Eclectic Paperie blogs ( linked below). The more DT blogs you visit and leave comments on, the more you increase your chances to win one of the 6 prizes. Winners to be announced on Monday.


Good luck and be sure to hop along and leave those comments!!

Clever Patio On Behind of Home

The Best Idea In Decorating Bathroom
House of Spanish architect Beatriz Elorza

Two Gustavian console tables stand out in the entry room. The picture is from Ricardo Cavada. The black carpet is from the fantastic Italian designer Paola Lenti. The other carpet on top is Rich Basagoiti.









Projected by the architect Beatriz Elorza, this 900 m2 house near Madrid is a search for space and light, sometimes so shy in the north of Spain. The interior exudes the warmth and grace of an elegant and personal decoration.
