Just incase you missed this-  Ellen and Portia talked about veganism and their personal chef's new cookbook on Rachel Ray. I loved every minute. I've been a vegan for most of my life so I'm always excited to hear about others views on being vegan/ vegetarian. {When I was a teenager I survived on only vegetable pasta salad because I didn't know how to cook. True story.}

I agree with Ellen that pizza is better without cheese. Here is what she said on RR:

“I’ve found that you can have pizza without cheese and it’s delicious, because the cheese is so heavy and it fills you up and until you know the difference you really think ‘Oh well that’s all that pizza is.’ Once you have it with just tomato sauce and just vegetables, there’s more room for cocktails. You can drink more,” she said seriously, while of course joking."

She is *hilarious*.


Would you give this cookbook a try?

Something a *little* more design related... 

Have you entered to win this beautiful green home from HGTV yet? I have for the past few days. I've never even bought a lottery ticket before, so this is a little out of character for me... but why not, right?

This post makes me feel like I've been watching too much tv. Hmm.

I adore every issue of House and Home but the current one is *full* of ideas. They featured the 1930's cottage of Vancouver designer, Lael O'Brien. Loove it.

Each room has a bold pattern in wallpaper or fabric. It's no secret that bold lattice and floral prints are in, but I think people are less worried about the *flow* from room to room.
{flow= a whole house of neutrals= boring}

{And yes, I' still dreaming of wallpaper even after this.}

This Graham and Brown wallpaper is {somewhat} organized chaos. You can draw on it or tack photos up in the frames. I've been eyeing this one for a while now.

Anything Orla Kiley designs is fabulous... including this wallpaper.

Happy Monday!

Adios matchy- matchy

This morning in spinning class we had *quite* the playlist to bike to:
Barry Manilow- Copacabana, Tupac- California Love,  and a few Rick James' songs- rounded out with some super long Led Zepplin songs too.  Crazy right? Somehow it all worked together.

The same goes for decorating your home. Pick things you love and don't worry about how they will go together. Focus more on scale and the layout of the room. Keep a subtle color scheme in mind, and some bold accents and you will feel totally at home. Most beautiful interiors are eclectic- no rules style. Adios matchy- matchy.

*Happy Mother's Day*

Let's stay home

I'm not even going to try to *get it all done* but I do hope to cross a few things off of my to do list... and go to my sister's Cinco de Mayo party. 
Enjoy your weekend.
