I've always admired SJP.
Do you own a Tangle Teezer?? If not, I highly recommend! I have wavy hair that easily gets tangled. This is great for keeping in my purse, and pulling it out when I need a hair refresh during the day. Use it as a hairbrush and comb up to use as a teasing tool for volume. I purchased mine at Sally Beauty for around $12. One of my very best beauty buys!

Animal Coffee Creamer

Bloomingdales Cordon Bleu "Cow" creamer
Anthroplogie "Ellie" creamer
How cute is this elephant creamer from Anthropologie? An updated version of the classic cow creamer. This comes in a salmon, sage, or yellow color. This is a great conversation starter when you're having your friends over for brunch or after dinner coffee.

Dining Room Chairs

My hunt for dining room chairs began 4 years ago right after we purchased our home. For years, (crazy) I would hem and haw over different styles, but always came back to searching for the classic cane chair option. I almost pulled the trigger purchasing these Restoration Hardware cane chairs, but couldn't swallow the $400+ price tag per chair! Alas, a Craigslist posting nearby offered six chairs and a table for $300. STEAL!

Our new dining room set from Craigslist. I couldn't be happier :)

April Showers Bring May Flowers
Bouquets at Pike Place Market in Seattle....just in time for Easter!
Spring??

We woke up this Sunday morning to drizzle rain. The local forecast calls for up to 6 inches of snow today...ah! CO weather changes on a dime. Our pear tree just began to blossom in the backyard. Please don't freeze and die in the snow pear tree.

Selling our Home part 1...


Ben and I have decided to list our home for sale! We have lived in Parker, CO for 4.5 years (can't believe it's already been that long)! Although Parker is a nice suburban town, we're a little tired of the Costco trips, Home Depot, Mall routine. We don't have kids, and I feel that we're not quite ready to settle down yet before experiencing more that nearby Denver has to offer us. We're really excited to move back to the city and experience the energy that we've been missing. You ask, "why did you move to the suburbs 4.5 years ago?"....we don't really have a good answer to that except that we were drawn to the "newness" of our wonderful neighborhood. No regrets, but we're ready to get a move on. Fingers crossed our home doesn't take too long to sell!
