girls’ pajama party 2012.

Posted on by

Back in February, I volunteered to host a pajama party to raise some money for our elementary school, and seventeen fantastic first grade girls signed up for the fun. Luckily, the weather cooperated and I was able to set up the festivities outside (Remember, I live in Seattle, so outdoor parties can be a little risky!). Here are a handful of “before pics” for the party planners out there. After dinner and a build your own ice-cream sunday bar, the girls headed inside to watch “The Parent Trap”  with Hayley Mills. I let my daughter pick out the movie, but I have to admit, I did a little persuading! Thanks to all you little ladies for making the party a success! I’m glad I got this one under my belt!

weekly wrap-up.

Posted on by

I haven’t been able to find the time to post my weekly wrap-up for the past couple weeks… but since I have been up since 5am this lovely Saturday morning (don’t ask me why), I found some time to squeeze it in. It was quite a week of inspiration, to say the least!

First up? Rue magazine’s May 2012 issue featuring one of my favorite designers, Tamara Kaye-Honey, a.k.a. House of Honey. Girl’s got style! Head on over to Rue for more fun stuff including a glimpse into Cassandra LaValle’s Seattle based pad.

And onto Lonny mag’s May issue, featuring Nina Freudenberger’s Haus Interior in L.A. The pictures speak for themselves and I am quite envious.

Waterworks introduced their new bath furniture and fixtures (that I am drooling over). The styling for these images is quite impressive and they have created something for all my favorite aesthetics; vintage, industrial, romantic, and modern.

This modern Chicago based wedding, featured on 100 Layer Cake and pulled together by Jesi Haack, immediately caught my eye. It makes you want to get married all over again! (Hopefully, to the same person, of course.) Stunning bride, don’t you think? Be sure to check out the rest of the festivities HERE.

And finally, just for fun, let’s bring in Justin Timberlake, shall we? Apparently he is working on new home goods for HomeMint. Lookin’ good JT.

That is all for today. Have a fab weekend everyone! – Katie

We have finally had a handful of sunny days here in the emerald city, which can only mean summer is just around the corner. That being said, here are a few favorite summer patio essentials that have recently gotten my attention… in my typical modern farmhouse style, of course.

1 - small zinc planters / 2 - party globe light string (for under our covered porch) / 3 - drink dispenser / 4 - indestructible farmhouse table / 5 - steel mesh chairs / 6 - wine barrels… they’re not just for wine anymore! / 7 - outdoor pillows / 8 - 2 seater settee / 9 - volcanic ash pots / 10 - outdoor striped rug

What’s on your summer essentials list these days??
