So I went away for a week to here
Came home to this. @#$!*$%#@
My upstairs bathroom had a leak with ruined the bathroom upstairs and the family room below.
Dehumidifiers kicking out 120 degree heat, can you stay miserable in the summer?
Design Inspiration - Martha O'Hara Interiors
I'm sure you're seen Martha O'Hara's design work all over the blogosphere but her work is so amazing I knew I had to feature her work. I love the design work she did on this house, it's like she designed it with me in mind. Enjoy the eye candy!
I would have totally dismissed the wallpaper in the two bathrooms above, but don't they make a stunning statement. It's high impact done well.
A hint of yellow and red... genius
Nailhead, Linen and dark wood floors 
OMG look at the kitchen
I don't normally like a blue bedroom, but this is ultimate serene bedroom
I would LOVE LOVE to work here, I love the paint color. Can you believe that it's the same paint in both rooms?
Are you drooling yet? Because I sure am.
Appliance Revolt.... Grrrrrrr!!!!!!
OMG my appliances have turned on me... my washing machine (the devil) has finally died and my microwave/oven combo is halfway there. The microwave has completely stopped working but it is fourteen years old so I really can't complain but now it means that I have to now replace the entire unit. (cha-ching)
The devil is a Whirlpool Duet Sport and is less than 6 years old but it's a front loader and from my experience totally unreliable. That sucker has broken down numerous times since I bought it. The sad thing is that it cost me a pretty penny and I feel like I've been bamboozled. WHIRLPOOL IF YOU ARE LISTENING, STEP YOUR GAME UP. If I'm spending over a grand on an appliance, I expect that bad boy to work. Now I'm actively searching for a new machine and braving the laundromat (tears) with tons of clothes.
Does anyone out in blog land know of any really reliable front loaders? If you do please let me know.
On a bright note I created my first YouTube video, the camera man (she shall not be named) was a little shaky but I think it came out okay.

Design Inspiration - Villa Verai
Most hotels are run of the mill but sometimes you find one that knocks your socks off. Villa Verai located in Phuket is one such place, I'm still drooling.
Wow, no words needed
I would love to wake up to this view, the use of the glass railing is fantastic
Monochromatic done well
I would get on that treadmill
Loving the mix of materials
Okay I need a vacation
Full Bloom
Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a Happy Easter and a great weekend. My azaleas are in full bloom so I'm going to enjoy them because they don't bloom for long.

Powder Room - Thirty Dollars Update
Did you ever start a project that took forever to finish? Well my powder room was that project for me. I started the room way, way back when here. I was dying for brown room but I after I painted it, I didn't love it but I kept it for at least a year thinking it would grow on me and it didn't.
After living with it for over a year, I still wasn't happy (the dang thing refused to grow on me). While I shopping in Walmart, I bought a gallon of discontinued paint for $4 (Can you believe that price?) and immediately I thought of my powder room. Yes a plan was forming.
After painting, I loved the color but I felt it was missing something so tada, I thought why not use the stencil I used in the guest bedroom. Stenciling the wall in the bedroom was easy compared to stenciling the bathroom. I did a lot #^%$@# when I got to the corners and behind the toilet. After three days (I took a lot of breaks), I was finally done and it's so worth it and the best part is I only spent $30 for the drastic change. Yes, $30, I love a good bargain.
Cost breakdown
Paint $4
Frames - $11 (I bought them at Michaels for $2.50 a piece when they had the $5 coupon)
Stencil - Free
Gold Paint Martha Stewart - $6
Shade - $8 - Target
Art Work - Free (made by me)
