I know its only Thursday, but I’m so excited for a non-working weekend that I’m already plotting an al fresco dinner party.

A farmhouse table setup under a tree? Perfection.

Linen tablecloth? Benches? An adorable puppy head? The countryside? Yes, please!

I’ve been gathering inspiration photos to finally decorate my house. It always seem like I’m getting somewhere and then wedding season hits… But this year, I will finally finish darn-it! So far I’m loving the cheery combo of aqua and pink. I just think its so fun and playful, how could you ever be bummed in a space like this? I especially love how the darker wall color actually calms the aqua of the sofa, if it were against a white wall it might be too much.

And oh, to have a proper vanity to put all sorts of pretty things. I love the way the black and white floor anchor the light blue vanity and pale pink chair. The bungalow I’m in is so small and the bathroom, well it might very well be the smallest on earth.

I love the punch of aqua in the lamp bases, I actually have a similar thing going on, but I desperately need new lampshades. Finding simple, tall, skinny white cylinder shades seems to be the hardest thing to find. The dainty floral on the pillows is a bit to frou-frou for me, but I do love that simple khaki headboard. And, oh yes, I will gladly take those aqua slippers any day.

Today I’d love to lounge around in bed and read that stack of magazine that’s been accumulating on my bedside table…

But there is laundry to do and a whole weeks worth of chores…

Not to mention puppy sitting and some very important phone calls to made. Happy Monday everyone!

The sun is finally shining and the beach is calling my name.

I’d bring a picnic and decorate in a palatte of sunny yellows and cobalt blues.

And, of course, I’d bring a beach ball and a good book. Happy Monday!
