Merry Merry Christmas

It's almost here... after all the shopping and prep work for a month+.{or in my hubby's case, 1 week!}
I've been checking out the UPS deliveries and it looks like somebody took a look at my Pinterest wishlist. Woo hoo! Looks like I might have a new tradition.

At first I thought, what a pretty, festive dinner table. Then I thought- I spy Tiffany blue. 

Merry Christmas. 
Enjoy every minute of relaxation and time with family and friends.

Coworker gift exchange

We had a co-worker gift exchange... for under $20. It's *much* more difficult than it sounds. You were allowed to *steal* any gift you liked better until time ran out, which made it hilarious. 

1 Pottery Barn cloche + Christmas tree slice + cute bird and pine needle thingy= fun & festive

 Glass container + toy deer + glitter + soy wax + Christmas Spice essential oils= pretty little soy candle

But I couldn't stop with the glitter so I covered this little deer in it too. 

Martha Stewart's fabulous smokey quartz is such a pretty color. I'm hooked.

Flipping out over Interior Design

Do you watch Flipping Out with Jeff Lewis? I hope so. He is a great interior designer {actually decorator, but whatever} and even more entertaining to watch because... well, he flips out a lot. In a good OCD kind of way... because somehow you end up obsessed with his show and wishing you were friends with him.

He just moved into his latest project, Gramercy Park. Adore. He went simple with a black and white color scheme and lots of graphic patterns, his signature style.

This island is perfection. Those leaded glass windows with the black and white cabinets above the range are beyond words. Adore.  

This is the future home office for next season. Wouldn't you love this instead of an outdated cubicle? They are all fluent in sarcasm and lovingly pick on one another all day long. {Please hire me, lol.}

The only room that went wrong is this one. It's a little too M.C. Escher meets Alice in Wonderland tea party for me. But that floor beats out beige any day though, right?

This light fixture is amazing and the painted cabinetry is the perfect color.

The marble slab walls and the geometric shower floor are a great combination, right?
