It’s almost turkey day, a perfect time, I think, to showcase some great tablescapes.
So much gorgeousness. Love the lushness of that red tablescape, but I usually lean toward lighter, brighter decor. You?

Oh Happy Day! It’s Friday. How was your week? What are you up to this weekend? I’m doing some house projects and watching football with the big guy, the little guy, and my MoH (that stands for Maid of Honor, which she will be). I borrowed my mom’s sewing machine for the weekend and am planning to put together a banner I embroidered. If you’re looking for a project, I’ve organized some crafty freebies.
(p.s. If you’re a runner, or just a nice person who likes other nice people, check out MoH’s blog Run Baby, Run.)
Enjoy!

Have you been to Houzz lately? I’m clearly a little late on the scene as I only discovered this cavern of inspiration a few months ago. Houzz is an interactive collection of “more than 200,000 photos” uploaded by design professionals. Members can create online Ideabooks to compile their favorites. And there are thousands of stories by designers and writers offering advice and tips using photos from the site as examples.
I love all the different styles, but you know I gravitate toward fun/funky. I just added these to my Ideabook (I only have one so far):
I adore those flashy green stairs in pic #3.
Thanks for stopping by!

You know I love my decorating books. On a quiet evening I like to flip through them and salivate. There are so many out there, each suited to someone’s taste. Just peruse Amazon and see what you come up with (then let me know what they are!).
I can’t wait to pick up these:
Live, Love & Decorate by Martyn Lawrence Bullard
The Perfectly Imperfect Home by Deborah Needleman and Virginia Johnson
Bohemian Style by Elizabeth Wilhide
What’s on your decorating to-read list?
