Before & After

So I have moved into a new room and had to redecorate...

Automatically I am on the lookout for anything I

can re-do and fix up!

I found this beauty and decided to do it a gold

with an antique glaze on it that I

learned from All Things Thrifty ...

Before:(look at all the detail it has!:)

So here is my WONDERFUL new couch I found on KSL.

Look at those legs!

What a fabulous find right?!

Here is where you can learn the tutorial on glazing...

It has become one of my favorite things to do!

I also found this bird @ some thrift store...

Garden Soiree Pt. 2

Here is more of the Garden Soiree
It was a "Vintage Parisian" theme so of course, there were
typically 7 courses.
Each one was so unique and special!

It was one of the funnest and most elegant parties
that I have decorated for!











I forgot to take a picture of our first course, which was
a chilled cherry soup in simply elegant teacups!




This cheese platter was my favorite of the whole dinner!
It was Brie cheese with honey, pistachios, and ginger snap cookies...what a wonderful combination!


Before & After:

The Ritz Carlton in Laguna

I walked into the Ritz in Laguna
and thought this was
"SO MAJOR"...in the words of Rachel Zoe.

It was just so different and fun...

Farmer's Market

The Farmer's Market has to be one of the
best places to ever go to get
fresh produce and food!
It was a great adventure! We got SO many
great things!!!

Go here to find your local Farmer's Market








Our VERY full baskets!
