today was actually pretty boring, at least for blogging purposes. i loved it, though. totally mellow, catching up on blog reading, sewing tea towels, eating way too much of nicole's yummy food - i'm competing with her for biggest belly (she's 8 months pregnant) - its a close race.
so instead of showing pics of us lounging all day in jammies, i thought i'd take advantage of the daylight and snap a few pics for you of nicole's beautiful home. you've already seen lots of her house (
here,
here,
here,
here,
here,
here, and
here) but i thought i would show you just a bit more.
how sweet are these house numbers?!
i *love* this idea for holding magazines
she just has so much eye candy sitting around
her bath cab was actually a little table she picked up from pier one and had painted in this beautiful finish.
the square potty
silas had a little too much fun at the itty bitty sink - he decided to plug the drain and let it overflow all the way out the door! who left that boy unattended?!
the best color
doors to the pantry - love the chalkboard paint. i think i see another project in my future...
sweet vintage chalkboard in the playroom
i've scrounged up a few quarters for these babies
the dream stove, and an amazing tea towel
letters above the stove - i wonder if those will fit in my suitcase?
love the mix of colors here - apple green, turquoise, red and brown.
here's a peek at the master bedroom. nicole has amazing talent with choosing really funky color combos - totally inspiring!
off to relax a bit more. stay tuned... i'm throwing nicole a baby shower on thursday and you'll be the first to see it!

now on to the good stuff! last week i helped with a shower for nicole at the home of a friend of her's. not only was the hostess (joanna) unbelievable sweet (and a bit sassy!), but beautiful. and her home! ah! don't worry, i snuck all over and took lots of pics i'll show you soon. but i'll just start by describing it as a.ma.zing.
joanna found these great lemonade glasses at world market for $1 a piece!
i wanted to make some sort of pennat banner for the mantle but ran out of fabric. all i had left were the little triangles i had cut out of the flags. so i got creative and used those tiny scraps, cut them in strips, and tied them to limey green grosgrain ribbon, then swooped it across the mantle. it wasn't quite the statement i was looking for, but it still added a little punch.
joanna took care of the house and all the food and drinks, and i just did a few decorations. the food was super yummy and beautiful, and jo made sangria and hand squeezed basil lemonade (ohmygoodnessitwassostinkingood!) and finished us all off with a trifle.

i'm home after 10 days away and i have a lot of catching up to do! but first marked off my list: the shop is back open! these petal pushers are running out fast, so hurry if you want to get your hot little hands on them - just $10 each. and coming soon is a beautiful grey version - oh, so cool!
we've got a house full of sickies - high high fevers, coughs, and runny noses. someone forgot to tell the sick bugs that we are on vacation, therefore they should be too!
