I completely agree with Jordan Ferny, I want to paint something (everything) red after seeing this inspiring DIY office makeover.
The inspiring post also makes me want to use some wipe on poly and some spray enamel (with a trigger thing).Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Red Light District
And then, this morning I spied this one over here. Now I think I am in love with it as well...
Can you be in love with 2 red chandeliers at once? Can you "need" a new red chandelier if you already have one? Sometimes the want/need line is just a blur to me...
Good Luck MWaz
We are thinking about the lovely Mama MWaz today...she heads back to work after some lovely time off for #2. Good luck MW, you'll find your groove and your balance...and then you'll inspire the rest of us. xoxo

Sunset
Sophisticated Bebe
Sometimes French people can have a subtle sophistication about them. It must start early...maybe its because they decorate nurseries like this one, a Paris. Ohh la la. J'adore this chambre...
That painting is so grown up...and it totally works in that space. Love it.
Fresh Snow on the Mountain!

Vail Ritz
One of my very bffs from hs is here for the weekend. This mama of twins deserves a fancy weekend away with her amazing hs sweetheart hubby. Enjoy AB.
Thankfully, she has an iphone and has been able to keep up with our silly email banter while she is away.We can't all be weekend-ing at the Ritz this week, but hopefully the rest of you have some fab plans too. Happy weekend!
School Days
Much like his papa, this kid LOVES to work out. Lucky for him his papa works at Nike and he goes to school at Nike World Headquarters. Their campus is amazing.
Here is WKF running stairs at the Tiger Woods Center:
Here he is cheering on his buddy...
They love to run over the bridge:Sometimes they stop to rest and look at the ducks:
Here they are doing a few laps on the gorgeous Micheal Johnson track. Many star athletes have run this track, now Nike can add WKF to that list...
One day I'll do a post to show just how beautiful the campus is, somewhere I have some great pix. Happy Friday to all!

Show and Tell
My niece Z$ got the spotlight at school today...she got to bring her 2 favorite boys into school. Her baby bro and her BryGuy. It looks like these guys were a big hit!
Who is having more fun, the schoolgirls or the boys?? Hard to tell...

Nest Fest
We will be moving WKF into a new room...as soon as it's ready. Bebe will take his old nursery. Here is his new room - under construction...
His new closet...
This shot was taken standing in his new room, looking out into his (their) new little play room...the room used to be one long thin room, we are building this wall to divide up the space.
Once his new room is further along, I'll post some more pix. Its gonna be great!
In addition to building new rooms...we have been editing our wall hangings...
I heart this picture of O and his Papa...so I had it blown up really big and framed. I love how it turned out.
While I was busy blowing up and framing old family pix that I love...I also blew this one up. The only boy in class is my Pepa (my grandfather, birdie's dad)
I'm loving the new additions. Change is good.
For before shots of these two walls, go visit the AT post that Ashely did.

Happy Halloween II
WKF and his buddies at school got really into Halloween this week.
They got to play with pumpkin guts.And paint mini pumpkins. He got to bring his home and he was so proud, as he should be (and as am I)! It is sitting on the counter for everyone to admire.
Happy Halloween
Someone at our house was certainly in the holiday spirit last night...
Oh Hans Solo, you are so handsome...
Happy Halloween to all!

Boo
LF has been here for a full week, and today it was time for her to hit the road again. We had a great visit and we hope she'll come back someday soon. Or perhaps we'll zip out to her island paradise (Nantucket!) for a visit on her turf.
As LF tends to do, she made the most of her visit. Be sure to check out all of her adventures over here. In the meantime, I ganked some of my favorite photos from her Oregon blog posts to share with you here on my blog...
That is her up high on the bridge over Multnomah Falls
I love that an Oregon leaf impresses a native Vermont girl!
She went to opening night of the Trailblazers...with her man (who we were so glad to meet)...
WKF and O took the ladies on a fall boat cruise, brrr...but so fun!
Girls night out...just like college, with a belly!
And PS, she is such a polite house guest...folded my laundry, unloaded dishwasher, washed her towels before leaving, played with WKF for hours, babysat one afternoon, and left us with a gift card for our most favorite restaurant - chocolate souffle, here I come!
Come back!!! xoxo

Ever since reading this book (which I really enjoyed), I have been intrigued by the business side of Facebook.
I was thrilled when AT ran this post covering the super hip new Facebook headquarters. Love it. I could work there. I could live there...Tuesday, October 27, 2009

More Wedding Fabulousness
Check out the scene. Hello hip. I am not sure I have ever been anywhere this cool.
These days, a party isn't a party unless there is a photobooth involved. Theirs looked pretty awesome. I couldn't pick just one...so here are the thumbnails...you get the idea...
