I wanna go to Paris

And when I get there, I want to stay at the Hidden Hotel! 

Million dollar rooms.

had to post this link to this amazing show on million dollar rooms. Some hideous, some AMAZing.

fun to watch :)

Orbit!

Made my biggest purchase for the babes yet! My amazing stroller system, the orbit, and I am so stinking excited. I got a killer deal and met a lady from Craigslist and her stroller was in mint condition for being 2 years old. Paid $400 for a $1500 dollar system. It will go from when she is a newborn and sleeping all the time, to the toddler years.  I spent all day with my momma washing all the upholstery and polishing her up. So excited to see my lil girl in this thing and every time I go in her room and see it I just smile and tell her to hurry it up and come already.

This is the toddler seat. 

Kardashian approved. ha

LOVE the bassinet! It can go on the stroller when the babe is sleeping or you can leave it on the rocker and keep it at home. The car seat to the stroller is so light and easy to move, the two dads who started orbit baby were so smart! 

Christmas and pregnant... really?

Ok so usually at this time of the year, post thanksgiving and going into the calorie filled Christmas time, I am struggling to feel stylish and comfortable :) Add pregnancy on top of that, and I am a lil desperate. 

I want this outfit to just be in. cute, but oh so comfy. Is it too late to make my wishlist?

IT'S A.....

We are so so excited to welcome this baby girl into our world. We both love her more than we can imagine and know that its just going to keep on growing as she grows inside of me. I was talking to Michele the other day and she was asking for some help on visualizing what this girl is going to look like, so here are some pics of baby dan, I LOVE his huge round brown eyes and his light brown hair. SO stinking adorable. 

This kid is going to have thunder thighs, hopefully I can teach her to cope or play soccer :)

as you can see... we were both little chubsters. Her odds aren't good, and I am glad, nothing like baby rolls. 

The crazy hair begins. 

Little girl, we cannot wait to meet you and love on you. You are such a blessing to us. God is so faithful and you are his child! 

Baby feva....

I don't know if it's the hormones, the excitement or both, but everywhere I go I feel like I am thinking about my lil babes room decor. My mom found this AMAZING music book (really big 3feet tall) from the 50's with adorable prints and songs. I have been toying with the idea of framing the prints and hanging them in the nursery.


Here are some rooms that are currently inspiring me.... Cannot wait to find out boy or girl so I can get going on this thangg.

Loving the red frames on the prints :)

makes me want a girl....

Neutral and lovely. Parts of me want fun color and another part of me loves the calm and serene of creams and whites.

That changing table is a find. Makes me want to go to the flee market!

girly. 

There are so many more and I could overwhelm myself pretty fast. Soon we will find out and get going! 

Houston: Top design city!

I had a blast in Houston visiting my Sister and Brother in-law and my adorable little nephew. Liz and I both loveeeee interior design and had a ton of fun window shopping in Houston's design district. I always thought that Houston was famous for being an oil town, but man oH man, it should be famous for it's design. 

My sweet momma sent me a link to one of her favorite Texas bloggers, Cote de Texas, where we found a fun shopping guide.  

Cade: Not knowing what he is getting himself into :) Love this little man. 

First stop. Carl Moore Antiques... This guy is legit. Travels the world and finds pieces and then collects the complete history on them. None in my price range, or even remotely close, but SOOO amazing to look at. 

Amazing display cases. 

French Clock

There were so many incredible and unique light fixtures. I could have spent hours in there :)

Corner hutch.

Our next stop was just a few blocks down the road to a store called M. Naeve. Amazing botanicals in this place. 

We walked across the street to Neal and Co and Watkins and Culver to check out some more unbelievable finds. I would love to pick these people's brains to find out how they find this stuff. 

I know Kait will appreciate this display. 

 Loved this curved hutch. Where do you ever see these. My mom needs this for the top of her stairs :)

The goodness doesn't stop. I was drooling at this point. 

 Last Stop... Found for home. A little more restoration hardware. 

 Need that giant foot. 

 Old gas numbers framed. Cute nursery idea....

I made her do it. LOVE you Elizabeth!

ALL in ALL. We had a blast. Dreamed alot and got some amazing ideas. Move over New york and LA.... Houston is a top competitor.
