We all Scream for Ice Cream!

I have been lusting after this for weeks. This Cuisinart Ice Cream maker is almost 50% off at William-Sonoma right now. Something about the hot, hot, heat in the summer makes me crave ice cream. I may have to take the plunge and pick one up this weekend. Any other Williams-Sonoma junkies out there?

And I would serve my homemade Ice Cream in these......

I have wanted a canopy bed ever since I was a little girl. Of course my tastes have somewhat changed since then(thank goodness!). I imagine if I had had a bed like this when I was younger....I never would have gotten out of bed. Unfortunately, my current bedroom (and husband) will not allow one, so for now I will settle on daydreaming about sleeping in one of these beds.

Louisiana Living!

Prepare yourself...this is going to be a long one......I was fortunate enough to spend last weekend with my amazing friend Kellye. She was sweet enough to show me all around her home state of Lousiana (I've never been), and if you have never been-I encourage you to go and have an awesome time! If you have been, I hope you have visited the following places. I know I'm going back with a u-haul as soon as possible!




I would happily live in any of these homes!




This is a fantastic place called Circa....full of awesome finds like farm house sinks and old doors and windows.


One shop used these pans (that were once used to bake hamburger buns) on their ceiling. Gives it a funkier pressed tin vibe.

I want to be Barbie

For those who have not seen this masterpiece.....

Barbie turns fifty this year and she's finally gotten a Dream House that any girl would want to live in. Mattel challenged designer Jonathan Adler to create the real life version of the Barbie Dream House which first debuted in 1959. While the first one was made of cardboard....I think we can all agree that Jonathan has succeeded in creating a posh house Barbie would be proud to call home.










And of course the perfect closet for all those shoes
