Taking A Seat

This has been one crazy week! It started off with Grace (Grace Happens) inviting Alex and I to join her for dinner with .....drum roll......EDDIE ROSS and JAITHAN!!!! It was such a crazy night that I will promise to share pictures as soon as I get them!

On to design projects.... Spring is almost here, and I'm finding myself craving more color! (By the way - the Master Bed projects are still in the works. I'm waiting to get my next big project back from my "work room" aka Mama Seagrass's house.) Anyways, when our house was under construction we needed a quick-fix to our bar stools in the kitchen. We found an absolute steal at Bed, Bath, and Beyond - we found these for $3.99!!!!!


They are WAY too tall and need to be cut down, and painting them has been on my to-do list for a long time. Reading House Beautiful's issue on all things blue gave me a push to get painting.

I loved these two color swatches from them.

















This picture seems to be popping up all over the blog-world and I love the pop of soft blue with the wicker chair in the all white kitchen.



Plus I feel like it would really pick up the blue in our light.

I'm off to go talk David into cutting our stools down, and possibly squeeze a trip to Home Depot in.

    Hi, I'm new to your blog and really love it!!!
    I'm so jealous you're going to have dinner with Eddie and Jaithan!! Please give them big hugs from me when you see them and tell them I'll see them in a couple weeks. Have a wonderful time at the Rose Bowl tomorrow!!!

    Hi Melissa,

    My son will be very happy to know that you liked the bag. He makes them from vintage belts and hand sews them. He works for RL and does this on the side. He'll be thrilled that someone (with a good eye I may add) noticed.

    Now, on to your home. This house is amazing. Please tell me, this used to be Charlie Chaplins home? Before I ask more questions I'm going to go back over all your old posts. I'm adding you and Grace to my favorites list.
