I am back in Canada, feels so good to be home 🙂

My 12 day vacation is busy busy.

I recently finished this design board for a client here in Calgary.

They live in a modern loft downtown.

I kept the design simple but added lots of pattern and texture.

I selected fun pillows to add a little life to the space.

Chartreuse was the perfect color to compliment the very brown interior.

This Schumacher Zimba pillow is a current love if mine.

I love how it coordinates with this Schumacher Chevron pillow.

Tomorrow I am heading over to the loft to see it for myself.

Then off to do some serious shopping!

I will definitely share pictures along the way, so stay tuned 🙂

Today I am over at My Little Happy Place sharing items from my home that make me happy.

Speaking of My Little Happy Place, I am crazy over her chippendale faux bamboo chairs.

She painted them herself, this brings me hope!

Aren’t they just perfect in that spicy orange?

And you can’t go wrong with imperial trellis fabric.

Ok, now head on over here.

Can you guess what my favorite items are?

I have been making some small changes to my living/dining room.

I’ve added pops of coral and I think it makes a big difference.

I am still not finished (am I ever?) but I wanted to share a little bit of my progress.

Do you see my new pillows?

I am in love with them, a big thanks to Camila!

They are just what my room needed.

And surprisingly, sewing them was a complete success.

I only used a couple choice words, so proud of myself.

I am now on the hunt for a new coffee table.

Our DIY ottoman has gotten too much love from Emory.

It is time to go.

And my horse lamp still needs that coral trim.

But, I did score this cute gold bird for $.50 from my local thrift store.

I also picked up 20 vintage readers digest books for $1.00 a piece.

boo-ya.

Oh, and I need a table tray.

Does it ever end?

Slow and steady…

Today I am over at Marcus Design participating in her ‘My Dream Home Would Have to Have’ series.

You may remember Nancy from her textiles thursday post.

I adore her and her blog.

She always features stunning home tours.

Here are some of my favorite interiors she has posted lately.

umm, yum!

So, head on over here.

I’ll see you there!
