White on White
my dining chairs have gotten a real beating since the boys have migrated out of their high chairs, and after remembering these by Robert & Cortney Novogratz, i was inspired to makeover my own. i not only gained durability, but a whole new feeling in my dining room and i'm always happy to have more white...

our dining room doubles as my work space + it's a popular spot in our house so dean and ike couldn't resist popping in |

Perfect Poufs
i'm a little obsessed with them lately. i have been using them to add color and texture indoors and out - creating extra seating for guests or becoming a table by adding a tray. the best part though, is my kids love them too. these little ottomans quickly turn a coffee table into the perfect height for them to sit and build blocks or have a snack. available in all price points + a large range of styles - here are my top ten favorites out there now...

1. missoni home cartagena pouf ottoman - wayfair / 2. threshold stipe pouf in plum red - target 3. numbers pouf in natural - land of nod / 4. diamond pouf in blue - wisteria 5. white moroccan leather pouf - serena & lily / 6. surya pouf in plum and tan - rug studio 7. zuni leather pouf in caribbean blue - crate and barrel / 8. chipper ikat pouf in gray and white - zeldabelle 9. souk pouf in ivory and slate and 10. bazaar pouf in ochre - west elm |

The Dude
after pining over this tee perfect for dean, it suddenly occurred to me, i already have what i need to make my own...
![]() |
a worn gray tee + white fabric paint + an hour of time |
he is quickly approaching two and we have seen his personality really
develop this past year into a somewhat brooding little character
...and this dude does not abide.

cheers to two very successful thrifting trips last week, including two matching cover ups for courtney and i...
some of what i found - that ranged from beachy feminine to leather jackets + lots of blue
oh, and cheers to not having to share a dressing room with this guy for once...
he may be cute, but...
...one of us usually ends up on the floor.

Kid-Friendly Display
it's been over three years since i began baby-proofing and had to hide many things away, but with dean turning two soon i decided to slowly start bringing a little back out to test him. i'm realizing the key to their survival is to mix in some of his toys with the pieces i'd rather him not throw across the room...
we've had a couple casualties as i expected, but it's nice to see
some of what i love again. he's now even starting to play around it
without bothering it, so i think my plan is working...

i am in love these new celestial cracked glass coasters i picked up from anthropologie recently - they come in many more beautiful colors, i may have to pick up the white set too. |
