Mantel Monday

Is your mantel looking a little empty now that the holiday decor has been taken down?

Here is a little mantel-pick-me-up inspiration to help you decorate that natural focal of your room!

Pretty white mantel with hydrangeas

This has long been one of my favorite mantel images

Girly chic mantel

Why not throw a peacock on your mantel?

Love the pillars under the mantel

Mantels used as headboards need decorations too

Colorful glass trinkets pop on this white mantel

Chinese lanterns on the mantel

The frames above the mantel match the accent wall color

- creates a great mirror-effect.

Love the display of varying sized decor on this mantel

I am feeling a little feathery today (albeit, not entirely sure what that means but somehow I think that describes my mood today so I'm going with it!) and I am adoring anything fluffy given the sub-freezing temps!

Fluff your feathers and get ready for the weekend, Friends!

Feathery Print

For any brides out there - fabulous Fluffy White Louboutins

What a cute feathery rehearsal dinner dress this would make!

Fluffy chair

Dior Feathery Chairs

Ikea's Rens Sheepskin Rug is a STEAL at $29.99 - oh so fluffy floor covering

Feathery boutonnieres for the rustic inspired wedding

I'm a sucker for fluffy pancakes!

Fridgid Friday

This week's frigid temps have me feeling like I am starting 2012 inside a ~~refrigerator~~ chest freezer!

Luckily, I hear it is a bit warmer out today... now, just need to figure out how to escape the office in time to enjoy it before the temps drop and life in the freezer returns!

I'd prefer to only feel the cold air inside one of these beautiful refrigerators!!

Custom "Pass-Through" (i.e. see-through) Stainless Steel Fridge from Traulsen

So many fridges in this lime green butlers pantry!

Notice the viking fridge under the counter and the sub-zero wine cellar on the left which holds 132 bottles - because you never know when you're going to have a party and need 132 bottles!

The armoire in this kitchen hides the sub-zero.

This opens up a whole world of options.

Fabulous built-in refrigerator

Fence boards hide the sub-zero in this Napa Valley Cottage Kitchen

Custom Panel Refrigerator

Another paneled fridge

For those loving a little nostalgia, the refurbished fridge may be just your style

Love the idea of refrigerator drawers. Especially for those with little munchkins running around, seems like the perfect place to keep those juice boxes!

Think of the storage possibilities in these separate full-size freezer and refrigerator. Allows you to have the space without the industrial look that over-size refrigerators and freezers can bring.

Old-fashion look covers a modern-day fridge with all the bells and whistles

Chalkboard Fridge - the the cook who is always leaving notes

*Thanks for the inspiration, Monks! Now, time for the islands!

Wedneday's Wonder - A Fresh Calendar!

Call me old fashion but I still need a calendar at my desk! I know, I know, we are living in a day filled with electronic contraptions designed to organize our life, but I still can't live without a calendar.

Not to mention, there is something ceremonial about starting a fresh, new calendar year with a fresh new calendar and getting to rip off each month - I especially get excited ripping off the next couple of months in anticipation for spring and summer!

So, in case you are still searching for the perfect 2012 calendar - whether it be for your office, home desk, kitchen window sill, vanity, etc, - here are a few of my latest favorites.

Cheers to January's clean slate!!
