Pretty Little Sink

Is this not gorgeous?! I love the shape of the sink, and I extra love that the faucet is spouting water from the mirror! I could probably never pull this off in my own home, but for now, I'll just look at this and drool.

Plus, that tile backsplash is amazing!

Wanted: White Dresser

Holy cow...who knew how difficult it would be to find a dresser these days?  So as I told you earlier, when my house flooded in July, we basically lost all of our furniture in the basement.  Which is where my bedroom is.  I need a new bed, dresser, and desk.  I had very nice built-in bookshelves that needed to be replaced on the bottom.  We've made significant progress in the basement...we have walls again, and they are painted...now we are waiting for the carpet to be installed!  So now it is time for me to order furniture.

I've already found a desk I love, so basically all I need to find is a dresser.  But finding a dresser is gosh darn impossible.  I don't want to get a very expensive one in case we flood again.  I had a very simple white dresser before that wasn't super expensive, but it held up great and I had it for years.  

I want a taller 5 drawer dresser.  White...easy and simple.  Except not! Everything is either way to expensive, or I'm afraid that it is going to be too cheap.  Whats a girl to do?
This is my front runner right now.  Its from Amazon, has decent reviews, and is the color I want.  I wish there were two knobs on each drawer instead of one, but for the price I can't be too picky I guess.  I wish Ikea had some better dressers, it makes me nervous to order one without seeing it, but I'm out of luck in the stores.

Any other ideas for me?  Have you purchased a somewhat inexpensive dresser online and loved it?  Help!!

Halloween Festivities

Can you believe it is already time to start thinking about Halloween?  Where is time going?!
I've always loved Halloween.  It is such a fun holiday whether you are young or old...and seriously is one of the most creative holidays.  Now that I'm older, I can really appreciate all the amazing Halloween home decorations people do...everyone is so creative!  If you are throwing a Halloween party this year, check out some of my favorite ideas by who other than Ms. Martha Stewart.
Love these invites! My aunt did this one year and they turned out sooo cute!
Coffin tables
Monster buffet table.  This would be cute for a kids party.
Mystery specimens in apothecary jars?  I also love the collection of silhouettes hanging on the walls.
Whats that in the punchbowl?
Eyeball cocktails! THis would definitely be a conversation starter!

What are your favorite Halloween traditions?

Brownstone Entry

One of my absolute favorite magazines is Martha Stewart Living.  It is always full of creative ideas, yummy recipes, and gives me tons of inspiration with each new issue.  Recently, the Martha Stewart Living editor in chief Pilar Guzman's beautiful Brooklyn Brownstone was featured.  Although the entire house was beautiful, this entryway had me flipping back again and again to take it all in.  I LOVE it!
This room gets an A++ in my opinion!

Headboards

I love headboards.  They can be so creative and unique, and can really make a bedroom.  Even in the smallest bedroom space, you can add an amazing headboard to really make a statement in a room.  
Use of a room-divider screen as a headboard.  Unique and very pretty.
I'm a HUGE fan of upholstered headboards.  I love the shape of this one.
I love these upholstered headboards.  They kind of remind me of a huge comfy couch.
Soo pretty!! But possibly slightly overwhelming with all the huge furniture?  Either way, I love the headboard and the footboard!
Functional headboard with lights and storage.  So practical if you have a small bedroom space.
Even the simplest headboards make a room look complete.
I love the height of this headboard.

See...they seriously can come in all shapes, sizes, and designs!!
