Pretty Pretty Pictures

Now that the wedding has come and gone, all of my bridal magazines, and bookmarked websites have been replaced with decorating/renovating magazines and cottage themed websites. Here are some looks that I have liked.

I really like the clean look of the light blue with the subway tile in this bathroom. I like the fixtures too.

I also like this color green, and the roman blind. I'm also kind of liking the clapboard look instead of the usual beadboard.

But then again, beadboard is just so pretty...


Moving on to kitchens... In these two pictures I love the bright white with the brown wood. Probably not very practical though.


Love yellow and blue together!
I like this color combo too
If I only got paid for looking at pretty pictures on the internet!

The SOFA!

Although it's a nice black leather sofa, Jay and I decided that enough is enough, and that we have had our last uncomfortable night of TV watching. And so the black sofa and chair got moved to the front room... (Notice the crack in the wall... I am trying to hide them in all the photos, but they are unavoidable).

...and we bought a sectional at a furniture warehouse here in the Heights which is known for its Pottery Barn/Restoration Hardware looking furniture (but at half the price... score one for the good guys!) The sofa is GIGANTIC! And by GIGANTIC I, of course, mean the perfect size for a nice comfy night of TV viewing.

You're not suppose to love "things" but I think I am in love with this sofa.

That's it for today :)

A few more pictures of the wedding that I like:















Tropical storm Edouard is hitting Houston right now. It's actually not that serious, but work decided to close (woohoo!). That allows me to sit at home and watch our wedding video ad nauseum (again, woohoo!).

This past weekend I went up north for a visit. Friday KDB picked me up from the airport, and we met up with SB and went to Lola's. Katie let me borrow her seersucker JCrew dress circa 2004, which I absolutely love. I considered stealing it "by accident" but I didn't, because I am that good a friend.

Here are the three of us (and the pretty dress) before dinner:

Lolas famous sangria: (one of the many pitchers we had)


Saturday I surpriesd LC at her birthday party. But I didn't get any pics of this, unfortunately.

Saturday, I went with G and Cath to brunch at Splash and had such a great time. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was great. We've decided to make it a tradition.

Here we are at the restaurant:

This was the view from the restaurant. I wish I could have taken a picture of the temperature. It was perfect.
