Pretties of the Week and a Possible Blog Design...

Colors of clothes, colors of food, down to colors meant to relax and those that inspire are the pretties to my week. Happy Friday loves! Someone told me today that we are now in the final weeks of summer. Really?! Why announce that. Have your Christmas countdowns, birthday chains, wedding clocks but please don't countdown the weekends left to summer! how rude. On that note, here's a look at what I'm loving about our new space and what I'm feelin' for a new blog design...

There's still work to do on the house and "blog design" but I'm totally smitten with each and really happy with all things new.

seriously, this has to be the best way to organize your clothes. I'm a little fanatic about my closet space. Whether it's the smallest of spaces or the largest it's important to keep the space cheerful and organized. Sorting clothes by color makes the space more exciting and actually helps you think of new color combinations! I'm still figuring out the best way to organize our outrageous number of shoes.... any ideas?

it's fun being back in the kitchen. I've enjoyed making meals for the family and am anxious to get a new tank for the grill and start grilling again! But don't worry, I know cilantro and squash weren't made for each other. Cilantro is meant for guacamole and Lord, did I eat a mountain of that stuff this week ;)

the only pink in this room, maybe even the entire house. Those starfish and most of the driftwood are well traveled from Hawaii to Virginia and now Colorado. ah, home sweet home. Do you have simple little pieces like this? Little pieces in your home that holds stories and have seen it all?

small space, corner nook, limited too, part of another room... whatever this space is called it's my desk//home office area. And I'm loving it. I don't require much really, I don't need an entire room or mile long desk. Give me a few shelves, a few drawers, space for the laptop, some pretties and I'm good. I hung the floating shelves in an order that makes sense but also allows me to add more if/when we decide to. I love my boys artwork on display, I love having the shells around me and the calming blues.

And those boxes on the shelves?

Friends, it was love at first sight. I love their simplicity, their message of love and belief but most of all....I love the organized fun they hold. The simple trick of using toilet paper rolls inside decor boxes solves the problem of art supply chaos. toilet paper rolls. start saving them.


and now, Dun. Dun. Dun....

It's most definitely time for a new blog look. And, I've always wanted to do my own, I mean, anything is possible right?! So, even though I'm not a 100% sure about the fonts and not a single image is mapped.... this is what I got going on and again, I'm asking for your opinion! Pretty please!

Personally, I love it. I'm guilty of just staring at it for way to long. Not sure what your weekend plans are but it's safe to say I'll be figuring out image mapping....

have I really never linked with Whitney before? that's weird and unacceptable.
ah, once for When I Grow Up. I should have included linking with back that azz up Fridays.

P.S. I took my outdoor exercise indoors last night! FYI, I'm addicted to step classes. I tried out one at our new gym and smiled like an idiot 5 year old without his training wheels the entire time. I was covered in sweat and at times not sure if I was even breathing but it's one of my favorite workouts and the teacher did not disappoint! One hour later, 700+ calories fried this new city became even cooler.



Also linking with 5 on Friday, H54F,


...happy to have Merrie with me this month...
