Monday Inspiration

Mondays are good again!

Monday just might be one of my favorite days of the week. Is that weird?

I know, stereotypically, Monday’s are the worst day of the week. However, Jaime and I decided during our holiday break to take Monday’s off again. No, we aren’t slackers. But usually our job is pretty labor intensive and on the weekends we are too pooped to do the chores and errands we need to do. So we decided to make our Mondays available for that, and it has really helped our creative side of what we do.

This outdoor room I found over at House Beautiful is exactly what I would love in my back yard. Bart and I have been in our home for four years now, and we are just now getting to the outside decor and landscaping. Our backyard is pretty big, but very desert like. He finally agreed to build me the pergola I’ve been wanting over our patio , and the decorating ideas are just spewing out of me now! I cannot wait to be able to relax outside.

I saw this photo of this handmade bag and hung it on my inspiration board in my office. I had forgotten where I found it, and then my sister sent me a link to Cherella over the weekend. Isn’t this bag fabulous. Her fall line is so pretty as well, you must check it out.

Have you heard of Fishs Eddy? Oh my, artful dishes galore! The Spot On collection shown above is one of my favorites, but they have many many more different pieces with different designs to browse through and buy.

Okay, I’m creatively inspired now by all these pictures and products. Can’t wait to paint, paint, paint!

Coming up this week… Jaime and I have some pictures of a finished an eclectic cottage kitchen we can’t wait to share.
