{Wear This...Decorate That}

If you can put together an outfit, you can decorate a room. Promise. Just look around your house, does it reflect your personal style? Does it look similar to the clothes you have in your wardrobe {color scheme, modern or vintage, mix-matched...}? Well back by popular demand, I'm bringing back my "wear this...decorate that" posts...

{Weekend Plans}

TGIF Peeps!!! My usual hand written Weekend Plans is sitting on my desk at work - and after sitting in a traffic jam for an hour yesterday {due to the State Fair and it being canned food admission night} I didn't feel like going back to the office to grab it. So...without further ado, here is what I'm thinking as far as plans for this weekend...

What's on your agenda this weekend? I'm sure it's going to be hard to top my plans {lol} but I'd love to hear what you have on your agenda! Whatever you do, have a great weekend. To Andrea Owen - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

{Loyal Loot Collective: Log Bowls}

The Loyal Loot Collective is based out of Edmonton in Canada, artists Doha Chebib, Carmen Douville, Dara Mumniski, and Anna Thomas collectively have created these amazing Log Bowls. The thing that is so captivating is the high contrast between the rough, natural logs and the modern, glossy finish in the colorful bowls. Even more impressive is that each bowl is handmade using only locally reclaimed trees of all varieties that have fallen or were cut down due to infrastructure, re-landscaping, droughts, or stormy weather. The trees are all hand selected, gathered, turned and finished.

{Halloween Chic}

I'm not a HUGE Halloween fanatic - but I do enjoy the holiday, especially handing out treats to the little ones. I usually set a few pumpkins and mums out on my balcony, but that usually completes my decorations. Now in true Flourish style, I actually found a way to chic Halloween up a bit and now I'm feeling inspired and ready to spruce my place up a little with some of these sh-mazing ideas I stumbled upon. Check em out...
