Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  My gifts this year are too good not to share.  Here's some of the wonderful things Santa and his helpers brought me this year!

1. This little marble tic-tac-toe board from Wisteria looks so great on my kitchen island. It's no longer on the website so I'm glad Mr. Jackson got it when he did!  I imagine my children quietly playing while waiting for home-cooked breakfast....it could happen!

2.  The cutest little brass shoe horn by CB2.  It's perfect for getting tight ankle boots on and the sale price is under $10 right now!

3.  Another CB2 find from my wonderful co-workers: the gold waste can.  Yes, I'm obsessed with a trash can.

4.  8 glasses from Shreveport's own Great Raft Brewing Company.  I've been needing to update my kitchen wares and I love the way these look and feel.  The 16oz pint glass retails for $5.00 each.

5.  The perfect little pearl earrings similar to these from Macy's.

I hope your Christmas was as great as mine!  Next Mallory will share her favorite gifts of this year!

No Better Place

There is no better place to let your personality shine than a small powder room.  Guest bath, half bath, powder room; whatever you call it, if you’re lucky enough to have one it’s usually the bath in your home that guest get to see so why not make it pop.  Most homeowners want to keep the overall feel of there home neutral and are worried about getting too crazy.  A small powder room is the perfect place to express your pinned up design wild side!  It's like opening a present every time a guest goes in. All that being said, I would suggest picking one element to be the focus and let everything else support it.  Here are some of my favorites!

Southern with a Twist

Our own South Highlands powder room completed in 2014 and featured in Forum magazine.  From the Horchow white "Porcupine Quill" mirror to the Derwent Wallpaper by Osborne and Little it’s a show stopper!   I get asked all the time if wallpaper is out of style- my go to answer- wallpaper is custom so if you’re going to the parade of homes or open houses on the weekend you’re not going to see a great deal of it.  A spec house builder is trying to appeal to everyone and wallpaper is definitely geared towards a single persons taste.  Also wallpaper is more expensive than just painting and it has to be updated just like hair cuts and outfits.

 Here are more I love straight from  the World Wide Web!

March 2014 issue of New York Cottages & Gardens

No not everyone is daring enough to do this, but man it’s good looking!  Fun and formal at the same time.

The Color Issue

How fun is this!  Between the paper, yellow camp light and poppy orange mirror I can't pick my favorite element in this bath.  Side note, my husbands 96 year old grandma has that same ceramic kitty my her fireplace!

Home Bunch

Super simple and timeless but check out that amazing border tile on the floor!  It looks expensive but I bet you could create the same looks with material purchased from Lowe's or Home Depot.

Style at Home

Pedestal sinks are great in powder rooms where a lot of counter-top space is not necessary.  Can I tell you how much I love the wallpaper, brass light fixture, and that mirror!
