Tomorrow we are celebrating Emory’s 4th birthday.

She is completely obsessed with princesses and has been begging me for a princess party.

How could I not give her one?

I am feeling completely overwhelmed though.

The bar for kids parties seems to be set pretty high these days, especially in the blogging world.

And I am WAY behind in my planning/prepping for the party…ok, I haven’t even started!

My plan is to keep it simple yet magical, can it be done?

Here are my ideas so far:

*Ombre balloon wall

*Sword and crown sugar cookies

*Fruit kabobs

*Wand and sword party favors

*A wishing pond

So what do you think, good or no?

If you have any great and easy party ideas, I am all ears 🙂

Wish me luck!

I don’t typically design corporate spaces.

They don’t interest me and I don’t have a whole lot of experience with them.

Although, recently one of my good friends convinced me to help him with his new office space.

I was hesitant but I agreed.

Little did I know, I would love doing it.

He came to me with a picture of a desk similar to this one.

I couldn’t of been happier with his selection, it sure made my job easy.

He wanted comfortable, simple, modern, and streamline.

Here is the original design board I came up with:

Although the design is slowly evolving, the general direction gets me so excited.

Anytime I get to spec the Eames Lounge Chair, I am a happy camper.

One of his main requirements was a sofa.

I found this mid-century modern inspired sofa at Crate and Barrel.

Best part, it comes in an apartment size as well, perfect for a corporate space.

I headed over yesterday to check it out.

It was very comfortable yet still sleek, perfect.

I am also toying with swapping out the upholstered chairs for these leather beauties.

The lines are to die for.

And these potted Papyrus plants are so cool!

I am really excited about this project and I can’t wait until the furniture arrives!

I guess corporate design isn’t so bad after all.

Not only is Lonny magazine packed full of beautiful images, but it also makes me re-think interiors.

I found the latest issue of Lonny so inspiring.

Here are my 5 favorite design details from the issue:

I adore this black wood ceiling. I have yet to paint one of the ceilings in my home, but I love the drama it adds.

This faux painted wall trim is so simple yet stunning.

What a great way to add a custom look inexpensively.

Nothing makes white pop more than black walls. I want it, I need it.

I love how the television is surrounded by simple mirrors.

I am always looking for ways to decorate around televisions, this is perfect.

I love this solid black canvas above the sofa, and I am pretty sure I could pull this DIY off.

I think it would work in any color, not just black.

I would love to include all of these details in my home one day.
