Some pretty spring dining decoration just in time for Easter. Well, the lamp is not for dining but it is beautiful!

Am a huge fan of both of these sites: bodie & fou posted photos from desiree's vosges paris. Desiree has many more photos in her post!

I may love crazy bright colors (orange! yellow! pink!), I will always have a fondness for this classic combo of black, white and red.
It's Friday!! I'm about halfway through the book The Hunger Games and really want to finish it so I can see the movie this weekend! The next two days hold few plans: time at a cafe with friends, a movie, lots of naps so this bronchitis will go away, and some baking.
What does your weekend hold?

am at the end of a bout with bronchitis.
my plans for the last five days have included: sleeping, crawling to the couch, watching 15 minutes of a movie, napping, trying to read but giving up in favor of closing my eyes some more, drinking orange juice, then deciding at 3 AM to clean the kitchen followed by watching an episode of Psych. no schedule whatsoever. dove into the depths of the DVR and became charmed by the new show Smash and discovered I like the not-your-usual- detective-show-twist that Unforgettable has.
also found this absolutely cheerful photo that has made my day!

Happy Tuesday!
Almost put "Happy Monday" as today is my monday. Currently have an awful cough that kept me home on Monday, thus my whole week feels out of order now. The beautiful photo above is helping me overcome the odd-week-sensation.

Dear IKEA,
I am your store's biggest fan and am waiting for one to be built in Wisconsin. A neighboring town of mine called Johnson Creek, Wisconsin has its water tower painted in IKEA's signature blue and gold colors, not to mention the location would bring in IKEA customers from around the entire state! I would shop at your store much more often than my current twice a year trip to Schaumburg, Illinois – 120 miles away. Thank you!!!
Anyhoo… the photos above are from IKEA Share Space that has a blog and a page that shows IKEA products in real homes. You can submit photos of your home/workspaces to the site which is my favorite part.
While at IKEA this past weekend, some girls from church and I decided we'd found an office we'd all like to work in…
We enjoyed pretending to work at this lovely office! In the background you can see my shopping cart full of items. That red/white pattern is similar to some bedding IKEA used to offer. I cannot find it anywhere now. Missed my chance. After a trip to Chick-Fil-A (my first ever time there), it was fun to go home and put to use all those pretty things!
chicks at chick-fil-a!! perhaps I should have hopped into one of these photos!

Happy Monday to you!
I will soon have photos from the weekend to share with you; meanwhile here are some colorful bedrooms.
