Yellow Just For You, VCU!

Richmond is the proud home of the VCU Rams who have taken all of us (and our brackets) by storm with their amazing run to the Final Four!

It's always fun to see a true Cinderella team advance 

but it's even more fun when they're a hometown team! 

Admittedly, Yellow is not typically my color of choice,

and while VCU's official colors are Gold and Black,

I decided to run with yellowie-gold today and actually...
I think I may be warming up to it.

So to you, VCU Rams - GO GET 'EM!

Cherry Blossom Bliss!

Oh, how pretty they are! 

The Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom in DC (despite the cold)! 

It always surprises me how quickly the normally sparse trees fill with beautiful pinky white blossoms.

They inspire all sorts of designs - from Cocktails to Fabric...

This year the Cherry Blossoms, given to the US as a gift from Japan, serve as a reminder of the devastation in Japan and the National Cherry Blossom Festival has incorporated many opportunities for tourists to pay tribute to the victims in Japan and make donations to support Japan relief efforts.

Monkey See, Monkey Do Monday!

In case you're just tuning in - 

I LOVE MONKEYS!

I just adore these three Funky Monkey three Prints sets! 

So, so sad they're sold out because I have the perfect place for them (and know someone else who would have enjoyed them just as much - that's you, Monks!)

Until the next Monkey prints come along.....

Here's to Monkeying around!

It's Friday, I'm In Love {with Kelley Interior Design}!

I am absolutely in love with the work of Kelly Proxmire of Kelly Interior Design Service.

Every room showcased on her site has such style - I can only imagine the other wonderful work she has done!
(It's also fun knowing that she is local to the DC area.)

Oh, what dream rooms! 

(Apologies in advance for the slightly poor image quality but these were too good not to share!)
