     Have you all just been on pins and needles to see what I’m up to lately?  It’s a lot of the same with just more and more excitement every day about the beach! 

Reading:  I’ve just started reading Anne Rice’s The Witching Hour.  I am loving it so far.  Thankfully I’ve got the rest of the series for when I finish this one.  One of my biggest pet peeves is starting a series and not having all the books!

Watching:  At this very minute, it’s A Bush Family Album (and I’m probably about the be crying all over the place).  Lately though, Keith and I have been watching Salem on WGN.  If you have not watched, get busy.  So good.

Looking Forward To:  Are you kidding?  Do I even have to say it?  One week from this moment I will be at. the. beach.  It’s been two years since we’ve been…I believe we’ve discussed my beach obsession…

Planning:  I’ve got several things that need sewn (some mending, some projects), but honestly, I’ve just been too lazy to get out the sewing machine.  Don’t judge.

Cooking:  I’ve got to do a full menu one of these days!  Tonight, we’re having chicken sandwiches (we’re pretty fancy over here).  I did make a beautiful chocolate pie the other day…you can see it on my Instagram.  The next time I make it (which will be very soon), I’ll post the recipe.

Excited About:  (Is this the same as “Looking Forward To”?…oh well)  One week from today…hold the phone; I’m not about to talk about the beach again…Keith and I will have been married for one year!  I know it’s cliché, but it really has flown by.  It’s crazy how in just 365 days we’ve changed so much, learned so much, loved so much.  I cannot wait to see what’s next!

Pouf-a-Palooza

     In case you haven’t heard from my last 27 posts, it’s officially summer.  In addition to more sleep, a cleaner house, more mindless TV watching, and vacation, this also means I have time to put finishing décor touches on my house.  You may remember from last year that my living room was sort of a constant work in progress (here, here, here, here).  Well…things have mostly settled down for now (remind me to do a house tour), but I am still having a love affair with furniture of all sorts.
     Insert a super fun promotion from One Kings LanePouf-a-Palooza.  (Are you as obsessed with that name as I am?  Around our house everything is a Palooza.)  If you’re looking for fun furniture or décor sales, One Kings Lane is a great place to start.  I spent tons of time mousing around, and have found some of the cutest things
     This room is pretty similar to what I’ve got going on in my own living room – white couch, colored chair, fun accents.  I love the Mexico meets Denmark look of that pouf!  While I was busy  making a spruced up version of what I’ve got now, I took a few extra minutes to put together a “just for fun” board.  Keith probably wouldn’t go for this, but I’m in love.  I would read in here and drink cokes and watch so many Lifetime movies.  That cat lamp is me (if I were a lamp).
     If you haven’t signed up for One Kings Lane, click here for your free invite, and get browsing.  Signing up is totally free, and there is never an obligation to purchase…which is especially great if you’re a hopeless window shopper like I am!  If you see something you can’t live without, snap it up; sales don’t last forever, and right now there’s free shipping!
     What does your dream room look like?  Is it for watching Lifetime and reading…maybe crafting or family time?  Whatever you plan on doing, you will definitely find some inspiration over at One Kings Lane, and if the furniture isn’t doing it for you (riiiight), take a peek at their Home Decor Handbook or style blog for even more pretties!
